2013 commemorates the 29th year of the Grand Strand Boat and Sportsman Expo, which has greatly expanded its offerings since its beginning. The event features not only the latest in the boating and fishing worlds at special prices, but exhibitors catering to hunters and more. The Swampmaster Alligator Show, in which “Swampmaster” Jeff Quattrocchi wrestles a 200-pound alligator, is an exciting new addition to this favorite event.
