The Coeur d’Alene Boat Expo opens Thursday at the Hagadone Marine Center.

The 10-day event offers free admission and features some of the industry’s top boat brands. 

“If you’re looking for a boat, this is the place to be," said Craig Brosenne, president of Hagadone Marine Group. “We get special incentives from our suppliers and can offer discounts we can’t at any other time of the year.”

Thousands are expected to attend.

The Marine Center has an inventory of 128 new and used boats ranging from 20 to 40 feet in length, priced from $50,000 to $1 million.  

Hagadone Marine Group also builds custom boats. 

The Marine Center, built in 1946, is also celebrating its 80th anniversary. 

“They called it the Yacht Club back then,” Brosenne said. 

The Hagadones purchased it in 2003.

The Coeur d'Alene Boat Expo runs through Feb. 7, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

The Hagdone Marine Center is at 1000 S. Marina Drive.

“When they told me I got the starring role, I freaked out. I was shocked because I never thought I would have gotten the chance to star in a movie, let alone with John Travolta, who I really didn’t know at the time," Clark said.
