HOTBOAT.com's Coverage of the 2012 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show

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.

New XSTAR- The interior and craftsmanship on these boats is insane. They have come a LONG ways.

Thanks for the coverage Gothalos. How long does it last?

Thanks for the great photos. It is funny to see how far seats have changed in the last few years.

Love the look of these seats!

http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCN0026.jpg

Forgot to add credit for the photos has to given to hotboat.com's kinneyj, thanks again!!

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!

Oh, and the Cigarette Huntress is badass!!! :D :D :D

Nice pics!!!

What does the red stick do?

In my blue Boat I made all glass seat and love them just have to make nicer covers. Sure helps the back in big water.

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 :)
