Well, time to head out to the Miami Boat Show to see some of these boats that have been teased about.
I'll be spending most of my time in the Skater slips/booth helping with the two boats they will have displayed in the water.
A 36' with twin 450 Merc outboards. And a 438 with twin Merc 1550/1350's with #8 drives.
Stop by and say Hi if you're at the show.
Lots more to follow!!!
