Celebrating its 10th year, the New Jersey Boat Sale & Expo rolls into FirstEnergy Park, home of the Lakewood BlueClaws baseball team, through today in Lakewood.

Produced by the Marine Trades Association of New Jersey, the show is fun for all ages.

The event features new and pre-owned boats for every budget, and boat accessories.

The show has tripled in size since it began, and features one of the best selections and some of the best prices of the year, including end-of-season specials.

This is the chance for a deal and to compare many vessels all in one place, and speak with the experts from the different boat dealers in one shot.

Many different boats are on display.
