Heading to FL in a few weeks and thought it would be cool to check out some boats in the building process.
I can understand there point of view if not, if your not a buyer they don't want to waste there time.

I stopped in at Formula once in Indiana and they told me to get lost:-( Craig Barrie showed me around at Donzi but they were on a shut down and not much to see. It is sad to say that I have been to quite a few manufacturers that just aren't there anymore.

I'd say phone first wherever you want to get in.

That's pretty sad. The automakers have known for years that tours build brand loyalty.

Terry gave me tour of Nortech a few years back, but I called him in advance and set it up.

+1. Way cool shop. I'm surprised about Formula turning you away??? They have a tour link on the website, and at the Miami show they told us to "come on up anytime"
