I have always wanted to go to Florida and for my high school graduation my mom is flying me out from California on the 15th and I will be returning on the 21st. I will be staying with my cousin and her husband in Orlando and they are able to get hotel deals in Tampa and Jacksonville. With that being said boats are my passion and I would love to do as much stuff involving boats out there as possible. I have no idea if any factories such as Skater MTI Outerlimits Nor-tec exc. out there are by any of those towns but I would love to visit at least one if possible. If you guys have any other ideas feel free to share. I will be paying for myself on any activities so nothing to crazy please lol.

Thanks in advance!

Skater is in Michigan, Outerlimits is in Rhode Island, MTI is in Missouri, Nor-tech is in North Fort Myers, Florida about 2 hours south of Tampa. They are the closest to you that I can think of. Cigarette and Active Thunder are on the east coast of Florida.

I did a tour of the Cigarette factory in 03. I was straight up and told them I was in no way a prospective customer but just a huge fan of the boats. They took me on an hour and a half long tour and showed me every aspect of production. They couldn't have been more gracious to my wife and I. It is one of those memories I will never forget and yet another reason that I will find a way to own a Cigarette at least once during my life.

Isn't Velocity near Orlando?

Yes in Sanford

Yes, too bad they are only making fishin' boats now.

Thank you for the help so far guys
