New Year's Day was opening day of the 2014 Progressive Insurance New York Boat Show. And while there is a major winter storm forecast for much of the Northeast, a little snow is not slowing down the first boat show of the year. Tens of thousands of boating and fishing enthusiasts are expected to attend the event, which runs through Sunday at the Javits Center on the West side of Manhattan.

This year's New York Boat Show is featuring several new boat launches, including a new day boat from Sea Ray, a new amphibious boat from Sealegs, and new fishing boats from World Cat and Grady-White.They are also giving away a Yamaha Personal Watercraft VX Deluxe and an all expenses paid trip to the British Virgin Islands.

After literally 100 years, New York really knows how to put on a good boat show. So put on your hat and gloves, and check out this year's edition - the last one to begin on New Year's Day for at least a few years. Here are the details of this year's New York Boat Show:
