Default Where to see nice boats around Orlando?

Im going to be in Orlando from the 14th to the 19th for a GM class and have never been to Florida. I was wondering where would be a good place to go and see some bad ass boats and hopefully get up close to them. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

O town will be VERY thin lol. Maybe the Velocity shop but that would be about it.

Need to get to one of the coast to see something.

You could take a tour of Regal, Not high performance but you can see them build some boats

Nothing really bad ass in that area even if you head to the coast. Port canaveral is only 45 minutes away by car but you'll see fishing boats in marinas mostly. If you do take that trip go to a place called Grills in the port. Excellent food, right on the water, and if the ramp is still open it's a freakin' blast to drink beer and watch the ramp action.

As someone else already mentioned, if time permits, go up I-4 about 45 minutes north, and go see Mystic, it is pretty amazing place.

Two questions, do you let poor people like me in to take a look? And will ya'll be around the first week in July or is everyone in Sarasota for the races? I would love to stop by if I have time when visiting Orlando.
