More than 100 boats from 15 North Florida marine dealers will be on display and for sale this weekend at the 64th annual Jacksonville Boat Show at the Osborn Center. In keeping with tradition, the show also offers accessories and sources of financing and insurance, making it possible at the show to move from boatless to ready to hit the water.

On the entertainment side, four-time world champion wakeboarder Shaun Murray will be demonstrating tricks and flips. Capt. Don Dingman brings “Hook the Future” to the show with angling seminars at noon and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and all participants will receive a free rod and reel.

The first 100 youth who visit the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary booth Saturday will receive a free life jacket.

The show is open 11 a.m.-8 p.m. today, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.
