Who is going? Mrs. Daytona and I will be there.

What manufacturers will be there?

Will Hotboat have a presence there or will there be a meeting spot?

Just a guess, any that are still in business.

Maybe make some special Hotboat shirts for people to wear with an Artists' rendition of the baby blue Ultra, but in a totally different color of blue. :D

Who remembers the back story on that?

I remember 10+ years ago when the LA show ran for 2 weeks and was at least 3 halls inside the convention center with boats outside as well. Now it's 3 days, and so small, it's crazy how things have changed. My dad and I used to walk around that place for hours! That's where I started learning about different boats, models, engine pkgs etc etc... Lol

As far as the Miami boat show and poker run goes... I've never been, but I've seen and read enough to know that it's a must see event! Boats on display, in the water, FL weather, it's just a complete lifestyle out there! And the poker run after the show is awesome where many of the new boats and many pleasure boat guys run their boats in the bay... Completely different than anything we have out west!!

Hey 314Joey, when is the Miami show? Will you be running the Poker Run afterwards? I'm thinking this would be a great time for a vacation. Never been to FL.

Honest question;

If you are primarily a Lake boater (say Havasu or LOTO) would the Miami be the place to be or is it pretty much about ocean boats??

It's the biggest on-the-water boat show in the US, plus it's next to South Beach and where can you go see thousands of boats in 80 deg sunny weather in the winter, we've been a few times, it's not a one day event, lots to do, it's February 13-17, come on down, here's the official link with all the info.

And it's only a two hour drive from the house, yippie.

Take Milk Thistle, it helps with liver function. Take one every night and the hangovers will be not so bad...and suck it up my compadre! We are PARTY GIRLS!!

LA Boat show to partying, looking for a boat and man for Eli (in Florida @ J&T's) to taking Milk Thistle for a shorter less abrasive hangover. LOL!!!

The day after I tie a good one on I usually have to drink Cranapple all day, it helps my liver and kidneys heal.

And, there's not hotel like J & Ts, it's one of a kind, fun, but mostly normal.

I stand corrected. It never made sense to me with the Ultra because it is a different color. I was thinking how can you think that is your boat when it is a different color. Now it makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
