Miami Boat Show

How did things go in Miami? I could not get any info on line so I thought I would go directly to the source.

Very well. We had a great location right next to Geico and backed up by Aqua Mania's two cats..Skater and Mystic. We were just across the aisle from Skater and they had Sunsation on the other side of them....real hot boat alley.

Lot of positive reaction to the new 24 we had here and the new race series. We also closed the deal with our new "Broker/Agent" in Texas, who will be representing us down in the Lone Star state.

Here is a shot of some of the "Boys" standing around discussing real open ocean racing and what it takes for a boat to be able to handle it.

Left to right..... Charlie, Peter Hledin owner of Skater, the owner of Aqua Mania race team, Bob Saccenti and Bruce Bullock of Bullock Marine in Texas.

I am so happy that the boat turned out the way that it did. I never expected it to be so nice. My 11 yr old saw it for the 1st time at the Providence Boat Show and has not stopped talking about it since. I am very fortunate that the folks here especially Charlie, Charlie Jr. and all that helped put the boat together are as passionate about their work. It is truly my dream come true. ....P.S. Charlie if it can go 80....I might be really happy....only kidding.... Thanks for everyting...
