Formula at MIAMI show
#3
I'm really disappointed too... (!) I was really hoping to see at least one FasTech in Miami next week. Looks like they're only floating the cruisers... I was at the Lauderdale show a few months ago and there weren't any FasTechs to be found there either. The Formula Cruisers are extremely beautiful boats with impecable fit & finish, but I was hoping Formula would throw us offshore geeks a bone. I guess I'll have to go drool on the Cigs & Nortechs...

What a BUMMER. I was really looking forward to seeing a new Fastech. I guess I'll have to take a trip over to Decatur before they finish up that ILMOR 382 
The 35SS is close enough to the 400 (I think) to get a feel for the boat. I'll have to keep my wife well away from that 45 Yacht, that's for sure!

Yup... there wasn't a single performance boat at the AC show. I'm sure there will be some in Miami.
I've heard rumors in the past that orders are down on Fastechs. That they just haven't been producing them. That the demand is there for the SS's not the fastechs. A sign of the times I guess. Made to order pretty much. Don't know what truth there is to that. Would explain why they haven't had any at the boat shows recently. The inventory's not there to display. It's been 2-3 years since I can remember seeing a fastech at a boat show up here in the Northeast.
I always liked checking out the newer models to see what improvements they've done. So that I can leverage their ideas and incorporate them into my older model to keep it some what updated.

Seeing pictures of these beautiful boats is one thing, but actually boarding one and spending some time on one really impressed me! If wifey is pre-disposed to wanting a cruiser, I DON'T recommend it!

See you in Miami!
