HOTBOAT.com is proud to provide you with coverage of the International boat show over the weekend.

The show included over 3 million square feet of boats taking place across the course of 5 days. Although most of the show is catered to the multi-million dollar yacht industry HOTBOAT.com was lucky enough to attend and bring you just a glimpse of what the show is all about. There are some great things happening in Florida and we hope to bring you as much coverage as possible. This is definitely a "must" view show for any type of boating enthusiast. From runabouts, fishing boats, catamarans, ski boats, skiffs, high performance power boats, superyachts, bowriders, jet boats and inflatables this show covers all the bases.

The city of Fort Lauderdale and Show Management have done an incredible job putting on one of the best boat shows in the World!

Enjoy.

We were down there 2 years ago for it and it is something that has to be seen in person as the pics don't do it justice. The logistics of getting everything setup is impressive by itself! The dockways that surround the boats are incredible. Thanks for the pics! Nice work guys!

Good point. I can't even imagine the size of the team they have to put together in order to organize an event of this size and magnitude. 3 Million square feet of boats and vendors is flat out awesome.

That Fox shock on the seat base has to make the impact somewhat better on the back as well!

Stumped here as well, opens and closes something, but what? Hopefully someone that knows can chime in.

Curious as to how the new Evinrude eco-tech 250 runs as well.

Some cool stuff there

The suede Skater interior is different, graphics remind me of Gold Digger
The Hustler's interior scheme looks a lil' bit busy but "innovative"
The ski boats seem to be progressing in different directions too. Updated speaker "cans" and the walk throughs...

Thanks for the pics :)

Based upon the look of the boat, I'd almost guess it works some kind of a valve for a ballast tank in the bow, ski race style. I'd imagine there would be something listed on the website to confirm it. :peaceful:

I think you may be on to something there, although I've tried searching for the maker of the boat, and came up empty! I've seen similar boats with that style setup though, opens and closes a ballast tank as you mentioned.
