    Default aaahhhh, where are the "players" at this Show ?

    http://www.miamiboatshow.com/attende...tsbybrand.aspx

    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.

    Default Wait for it...

    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!

    Default Scheduling...

    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 +

    Default Roll Call...

    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?

    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.
