Thanks OB. Completely missed that option. I have a hunch that supplying contact info is worth more than a subscription fee. ;)
I can't access the story with anteing up, but I sat next to a reporter from the Sun-Sentinal during the press breakfast. Told him about you guys...
Spotted "Still Kickin", a 2008 64' Lightning Sportfish at FLIBS this morning. I think one of YF's senior members had a hand in this build. Maybe...
It was called the Riva 88 'Florida'. I found the name questionable because I doubt it would appeal to Florida boaters.
Thanks for the update RER. I took the day off to RICE a sore knee. Back tomorrow.
As a follow up to RER's post, none of the beer barges were crowded either, even though it was blazing hot. I think Thursday and Friday appeared...
So true! I'm surprised a few people haven't walked right off the dock.
Low traffic was a topic of discussion among many builders and vendors at the show. Everyone agrees the internet has had a significant impact on...

Hours before show opening, just about every booth was in a state of disarray, except for one. DeAngelo Marine Exhaust has about the coolest...
Superyacht pavilion...
Face dock...
Inside the main tent...
Got to Bahia Mar about an hour ago. I've never had the luxury of staying in the tower. Talk about a room with a view! Sorry about the pic quality....

The boat rode fine offshore, but like flying a helicopter, you must learn to hover first because every flight begins and ends with a hover. Same...
" Again, I said 'idle' speed, not planing speed. It was fine on plane, but when backed down it was a handful to control. I discussed the problem...
I sea trialed an express cruiser he designed that was nearly uncontrollable at idle speed. The rudders were about half the size of the wheels with...
