I leave Friday to head to Miami for a couple days at the show. Not buying, that's for sure, but always like to see some of the new models and updates to older models.

Boats I plan to check out include but are not limited to:

Contender 33t (step hull) & 37t
Deep Impact 33
Bluewater 35
Yellowfin 24, 29 & 32
Sea Vee 32 & 43
Freeman 33
Jupiter 29 & 34

If anyone wants a specific photo from any of these manufactures let me know and I'll do my best.

South Beach Saturday night should be interesting as well

Tell the truth Les........Does it feel like your riding in a metal buoy when you het a wave or did they do something to deaf out the noise.

Demand for rooms is nothing like it was a couple years ago! I understand that Thursday was VERY slow at the show. Leaving here in a few hours for Miami!

No worse than a plastic boat . remember these Boats [ and mine ] are 1/4" plate Alloy not sheet metal.

Heck we hit a Oil Rig and all it did was bend the anchor roller bracket a little . LOL

Fernando , check out the Rocksalt 34 and let me know what you think .
