It's an italian-built speed boat called a MAS, named after the WWI Italian torpedo launches (Motorbarca Armata SVAN--MAS) which proved as successful as WWII PT Boats.

Thanks, Kelly.
The Rybovich guys basically dropped a new interior/cockpit/flybridge onto a Lydia hull during her 2004/2005 refit.
We ran her down to the Miami Show from Ft. Laud. on Wednesday at a slow cruise of 24 knots ( 1800 rpm, ~ 50 gph ) into a SW 20-knot breeze/short chop a few miles offshore. I expected the forward EZ2CY panels to be streaming, but she is an astonishingly dry ride. With a fine entry and what appears to be slightly more deadrise than a 54/60 Bertram, she is a sweet hull.

Didn't receive it, so sent you a PM.

My bad. It is absolute Heck to be a computer dope.

For all of you folks who could not make it to the Miami International Boat Show, esp. the Brokerage portion held along Collins Avenue on Miami Beach, let me tell you what you missed.
We had a 'Chamber of Commerce' weather day this Saturday-- bright blue skies, blinding sunshine, slight breeze, about perfect temps from 10:00-3:00 of high sixties Farenheit.
Of course, when I rode my bike from the 'cheap seats' parking to my "office" at 9:00, I froze my tookus off. 49 F, 20 knots ( I ride fast ).
We had, bless 'em, qualified buyers in abundance all day long and stayed 'overtime' this p.m. to yak with them all.

I mean, look at Brandon's great pix-- boat shows don't get much better than this!

As Carl mentioned, the mini-Freightliners mit go-fast boat in tow kept circling the main drag from 41st to 50th streets, all the while dodging some of the prettiest females on the planet.

How can we sell boats in this type of climate? Well, OK, we're pros .

Overall, a nice bunch today.

Makes one wonder what the poor people are doing. ( I know--I know-- they're crewing on sailboats doing a 'round the buoys race on Biscayne Bay tomorrow).

Looks like I have competition CaptTom. I have been trying to get on that 120 for the last couple days.

Brandon,
I may have had an edge since I was working the show on a press pass. But I did ask permission to take photos of the Broward and that I would be posting them on a website, and they said fine. I've learned that in many situations, especially if you're taking inside shots, you should ask permission to not only take the photos but if you are going to post for the world to see. Many of these yachts are owned and not everyone is willing to share shots.
Here are a few of the new Hatteras models and a Viking San Lorenzo.

Guys,

I'm moving this thread into the General Discussion forum for awhile. Between Brandon's GREAT photo coverage, Tom's first ever published images of Broward's new 120' and Loren's look at our world that leaves us laughing... this is a thread for everyone to enjoy.

A big THANK YOU you to the above mentioned for an outstanding job! And to all you lurkers, now would be a good time speak up and show your appreciation.
