Best described as a rendezvous with some serious fishing thrown in, the annual Showdown is a friendly and fun competition between these two manufacturers to determine annual bragging rights. Team members will be the guests of their respective manufacturers and are treated to nightly dinners, cocktail parties and other activities, all adding up to four great days of fishing and fun for owners, crew and family. Numerous vendors of both Ocean and Viking contribute to the event and many are on hand along with factory representatives to answer questions about their products.

  The Showdown is open to all Ocean and Viking owners but space is limited. If you are interested in being a member of your respective manufacturer's team, contact Bob Glover at (609) 884-2400 to reserve your spot. (A modest entry fee will be determined by the manufacturer's.)
