2007 Miami Boat Show Pictures

The New Hatt's

Thanks Brandon! Great coverage!!!

That new Hatteras Skylounge is out of this world. The sheer size was leaving most carbon units feeling like a pretty insignificant speck in the universe.

Traffic picked up on Friday, but it wasn't on the docks... it was along Collins Avenue where Shadow Marine was using fresh out of the womb, under-developed Freightliner trucks to promote themselves. One of these half-pint haulers was pulling the Eliminator speed boat often pictured on Palladin's Shadow. Gotta tell ya... these trucks were snapping necks faster than a mini-skirt exiting a Lambo.

I didn't get a picture, but I've supplied a link below to a site owned by Mike Mas, one of my oldest friends and the publisher of Rotory Magazine. Gentlemen, I think we have a completely new truck segment about to go mainstream... http://www.bigpickup.com/pu/m2/index.html

Getting back to diesel power on water... there's a fair amount to report, but much of this is so new that media kits, info and images aren't available quite yet. I'm uploading press releases and news over the weekend, but it won't go live until next week, after I have a chance to tweak.

Loren... I ventured as far north as the Hatteras camp to say hello, but it was beginning to snow late in the day so I retreated. Check your e-mail.

Carl,
Some of us heartier souls ventured north to meet Loren. He was in the quiet section on Friday, since turnout was lower than expected. But he and I were able to meet and spend a few minutes chatting. The Lydia Loren was showing has a neat background, and is a beautiful yacht for cruising and/or fishing. Here are a few pics (Loren gave me full permission to post his photo).
I have many more shots to post from the Miami Show, but that will be later today. Have to go off to the Garlic Fest (yes, that's a festival all about garlic) in Delray Beach, FL. A bit cold today in South FLA, but should be nice for the fest and the Miami show.

Here's something new, but it didn't actually debut at Miami. This was on display at the Ft. Lauderdale show. Bob Rosciolli (as in Donzi), is planning to build a new expedition yacht that's double the size of any sportfish he's built before. It's slightly reminiscent of the ex-Aussie Rules, but it will be built to "Bob's Rules", sorta speak... (don't ask!)

Gosh, but that Lydia is a good looker Loren !
