Hotboat.com will not be represented due to another boating website being the main sponsor.

Apparently I offended you with my statement. I apologize. But just so we're clear, if another site was just a sponsor, we wouldn't have an issue attending. That and unfortunately as much as I'd like to, we cannot cover every event. Again I apologize that you're upset with us.

As funny as you're trying to be, which I'm sure you're not, there seems to be more coverage of that event here with pictures and commentary than any other boating site. I'm sure that might change in the upcoming days but for quick info, it seems to have been here first. ;)

[GotHalos]

IS that Suede interior? Kinda different

Yeah, I wouldn't think it would be water friendly? Looks extremely plush however.

That is exactly what I was thinking, how would it hold up if/when it gets wet? Looking forward to the pics from the show

A few more to get everyone in the mood. :thumbup:

[ChumpChange]

I have some customers that go there every year. Jealous!

[riverrunner1984]

There is the question to ask at the show: How does that interior hold up in water?
Looks really good though...Wonder if it would be more or less hot then the typical vinyl.

[SummerO]

IS that Suede interior? Kinda different

It's actually Alcantera. Very cool to the touch, but I have heard fading is an issue. That boat was at Skater when I picked mine up. It might actually have a different interior now but I'm not sure on that one.

I will be in Florida soon. Will you be?

My friends Kenny D and Kathleen will be there and said they would post up some pics when they get back. Looking forward to the coverage, since I can't be there in person.

No problem, I am most glad to share my useless knowledge to whomever might need it!! :biggrin:

Come down/over here and cover Key West this coming week and weekend, it's one of the biggest events for offshore boating of the year, thousands of people and hundreds of boats, plus if you've never been to KW, it's something you'll never forget it.

Two hour boat ride from our house, you should see the boats passing the house coming South down Hwy 75, the biggest and best boats in the US all heading to the races, then there's all the poker run boats (over 100 boats) leaving Miami Wednesday and Thursday, big week for Florida boating.

Great job on the pics!!!.....we just got home last night from Florida,we were at the boat show on Thursday to say this is a..... Big BOAT SHOW.... does not even come close to say how big it is.We walk in at 11:00 took 30 mins to eat,we left at 5:00 and didn't even get close to it all.I think you could spend 2 to 3 days,the wife's get a little bored after a full day.You may have to send them shopping for day 2 and 3.It was for sure worth the trip.

We were all lined up to leave from Miami this Thursday on the fun run down to KW on a friend of mine 47' Fountain and spend the weekend, watch some races, get hammered, then come home on the Key West Express to Ft. Myers, but then we got a chance to get our new boating sidekick (Rowdy), so we had to cancel until next year, it's impossible to get a sitter for a ten week old puppy, plus Terri wants to bond with her, definitely going next year.

KW is about a seven hour car ride or a three hour boat ride from the house, not sure which way we'll go, but we're going.........................rode trip.

[HB Vic]

We're headed to Orlando Sunday. Have some business to attend to until Thur or so, then we get to play until Sunday :D

Vista Cay in Orlando, probably hit some of the local spots then road trip to the coast and hopefully a little big blue boating :action-smiley-035:
