Dozens of people were looking at ways to set sail this weekend. The annual Mobile Boat Show runs until 9 tonight at the convention center. Organizers say they're pleased with the turnout.
They say they have more than 100 vendors showing off their stuff. In a tough economy, organizers say it's a buyer's market.

“People are probably going to get better prices and there's a lot of different types of boats here, we have dealers all across the gulf coast, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,” says Marketing Director Melissa Miller. The show continues Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm.
