One too many margaritas though - should have stuck with the Bud Platinums.

You obviously weren't at the show last year. There were NO performance boats what-so-ever.
Two years ago, the only performance brand boats were Baja's (40' Outlaw w 525/XR from Kellys Port, couple smaller Outlaws from Yachts To Sea, etc.).
Black Thunders are being built right now and MTI is too busy getting ready for Miami next weekend.

Btw, the St. Louis show this weekend was 100 times better than the Chicago show last month. There weren't ANY performance brand boats for sale there and one center console (a Yellow Fin) was there.
