Miami International Boat show 2011 !!!

[roadtripse]

That listing can not be current. Even it is, the best part of the show is the marina any way. Nothing else like the Miami Boat Show, so have the faith!

[roadtripse]

I am flexible on this trip, so I will do the typical Premier Day on Thursday, run and ride in the marina on Friday, and then look for locally-sponsored adventure on Saturday. Pretty typical Miami visit.

Jill has a different agenda. She doesn't get in until late Friday night and flys out Monday afternoon.
She was pretty bummed last night, when I told her she might not get any on-water time over the weekend.

It is what it is, but I thought I would mention what the lady requested.

And we are thinking of going by to see Lip-Ship on Monday for anyone that is still around then!

Todd, If Jill want to get some boating in you can go to Ft. Liquordale and take the water taxie around ...

I am pumped about this. The rain here is getting to me and I am sick and tired of driving to the marina and bailing out the little boat Would love to see some sun and 75 deg +

Does "cage" stand for Bullitt? Good with it...

A cage is a car, or a car driver is a cager.

[MadPoodle]

Interesting..

Cig, Donzi, Fountain not listed as exhibitors yet..

Neither is Contender, funny I was crawling around their show boats today...

Really? But I happen to know one of the cages could be a Bullitt Mustang, which was the point of my post.

[MadPoodle]

LMAO, yeah I caught the Bullitt reference...


But, it could be Silver....

As Mike noted, no Cigarette, no Donzi, no Fountain, no Instigator, Pantera, no ..... the list is enormous.

Where did they all go?

I do see Formula, MTI, Skater and Velocity tho.

???

Pantera is supposed to be there with a brand new 28 one of my freinds is building

Parnell

I just got wind that Fishin Sucks is rumbling about coming in Thursday night, so this could get interesting.

So let me see here if I can complete a list of out of towners:

Lenny
Mike Miller
Cliff
Di
Parnell
Haver
Haver's Dad
George
Stan
Susan
Todd
Jill
and Tom

Add the locals for guidance, God help us, and I think this could get interesting.

I miss anyone?

Is the White house Inn in the General vicinity of the Old Thunderboat Alley/Row?
Be fun to take a stroll over there one day..

[BUIZILLA]

15 minutes by car

but there's nothing to see anymore

unless your into massive concrete parking garage architecture

[thriller]

Maybe a street sign photo Op or if the canal is there we can dive for some treasures?

[Bertram Boy]

So... There are going to be 2 "Mike Millers" in 1 place at the same time ???!!!!

Isn't that going to wreak havoc with the whole space-time continuum thing???

We were there before they tore it all down. Cigarette and Magnum were still buidling boats. We walked up on the Cigarette plant and got an informal tour from Neal Hernandez, including a look at the Gladiator bottom plug under development and an all black and green Patron promo 38 being finished up and detailed. TNT was pretty cool and we just walked around and looked at all of the boats. The reality? It was just a row of worn out tin shacks and it seemed like a miracle to us that anything of quality could be built there. The boats, people, and history were the cool part. Gone to other places now.
