Boat is down to 4.5 million now! I think 45 gallons an hour at 13 knots seems a bit optimistic on a 122 ft boat.......maybe it has Duramaxs!..............
Interesting story but it's still too dear. There's another one in Phuket that's 10' longer (maybe that includes the platform) and 1990 build for only 2.7 million. You could spend a million on it and still be miles ahead! This one has been on the market for ages too.

I am very concerned about the Miami show this year. Of course there will need to be a shake down on the new venue but my main concern is getting to and from the show. The convention center was steps from all the hotels on SoBe and could not have been easier for those staying there. Now it is on a remote key with shuttle bus service and water taxi only. Very concerning. I can see hour long lines for the buses and then hour long waits in traffic on that bus. ONE road in and out, that's a problem.. The water taxis maybe the way to go because no traffic jams at least, but they may have long lines and they are slow.. The wait lines for the buses from one venue to another have been tremendous in the past and now that they are the only way to get there, it could be far worse. We will see. Once you get there, it will be great, never disappoints..

Grab a beer and make the best of it if there is a wait. Not going to let my self get stressed about lines or waits.

As you said it will be fun once in, so do your best to try and enjoy the wait.

Not any longer, but there is one now better. See my other post on this thread.

The list is the shortest I have ever seen for sterndrive power sportboats. I know a 28 Saber should be there but I think its the same 28 from 2 years ago. Hustler with 4 and one Checkmate, Cig whatever they bring with sterndrives. Have not seen what MTI or Skater is bringing. I do not remember the whole list but its not that many at all. Maybe some one else can fill the rest of the sportboats in.

For me, really can not get to excited about it when Yamaha Jet drive boats & Wellcraft Scarabs jet drive boats have more on display than all sterndrive sportboats combined.
