Detroit has a world class car show but our "boat show" is a joke! I suspect the reverse is true in Miami.

Miami is also truly an international boat show. People form all over the world appear to attend this show. I think we were the only English speaking people there Sat afternoon. The high performance sections are down from years past, but in many shows, they are gone totally. I have never been to a show anywhere else where it takes 2 or 3 days to see it all!

Most of the go-fast guys pulled out of the water this year, but there was a few. One of the worst things I saw out there was Bob Bulls old MTI boat with a bunch of guys trying to back into their slip after a demo ride. The wind was blowing hard and the motors were idling so high, the poor driver just could not back that monster in. I felt sorry for the driver. There was a ton of regular boats at the Marriot water display and yachts across the bay. I heard there was a sailing section, but avoided it. For me, no rooster tail, no fun.:evilb:

That's just plain ignorant. There were dozens of models seen or announced at the 2011 NAIAS for the first time ever.
3rd I think you misread my comment....the Miami show is good for leftovers......being that it is in Oct/Nov every year the new stuff like at NAIAS has already been shown all over the rest of the country for months before it gets displayed in Miami 10 months later..... |
