On the performance shop side we have many of those and some of the best in the industry. Tommy at Chief is a must. As far as places to eat on the water not many either besides Montys on the beach, Montys in Coconut Grove which is next to Grove Harbor Marina (some performance boats there TnT has more), Scotty's on the bay.

I didn't take it like that at all, I just didn't want to head down and be like sh!t I didn't even think to go here or there that's all. Thanks for the advice.

if by "killer factory" you mean big warehouse where they make boats...pretty old school if you ask me.

They're right behind the rail road tracks by Biscayne. Real close to TnT rigging shop.

Well then I guess I should clarify. Performance boat manufacturing meca. I'd like to visit Afew shops to see Afew things not expecting to see boats everywhere, also I'm only going to have a day or so to look around not exactly a week.. I live on the Chesapeake bay which mile for mile id put one of the best boating areas in the US as far as waterfront bars/restaurants and coves rivers. We even have a 300 page book of waterfront destinations.


But anyways I'm more of a nuts and bolts guy anyways I like to see how things are made.


Brian, I just might take you up on that. I met you at JOTJ on Sunday. I had the yellow/red/black Baja.


Cig is in Opa -Locka and they are really the only performance manufacturer other than Active Thunder in SE FL. Anyone consider Pantera a manufacturer anymore? There are some center console builders around but performance is limited.
