Miami boat show
 

Who is going?

Might pop down there for a couple of days...
 

I think we're going to try it......as long as the flights hold up----they look great now MIA or FLL. Never been there (Miami). Anybody got any tips?

Be sure to do the strip on South Beach..

Stop and eat at the "News Cafe"..awesome set up..very Euro.....neat scenery..great area for seeing whats hotr and new in the unreal world of $$$$$

I'M GOING !!!!!!!
BE THERE ON FRIDAY

I'll be there Sat-Mon....

Miami
 

Goin down Wednesday night thru Sunday

Hey, someone find me a nice 35 Fountain while you down there. Heck, bring it back with you too. Thanks:D

Gig- Tap into one of your Swiss bank accounts and give me a blank check....I'll tow it back to Georgia for ya!!!!
I think you'll need to make your garage a little bigger though. I'm thinking about a pair of Mercs new 1050 SCi's with #6's on a 38'. That should do it. Let me know when it'd be a good time to stop by and pick up the check:D

hey Doug , I need carb help
 

I need to know what jets and stuff I need for a procharged 454 mag running 5lbs boost. I assume I'll be using a Holley 750 DP with mech secondaries,I'm lost from there.Thanks for any help or referals you can give. I can't pay $1050 to Nickerson for a carb no matter how good they are,,I'll probably regret that. Thanks,Allen

cooltoys61. A suggestion. Take a look at the BarryGrant stuff. (they have a good website also).

I just put a SpeedDemon on my Pantera (car), and the performance is outstanding. (let alone the nice features of the carb itself)...........plus IMHO it looks much nicer than any Holley out there.

Back to the Miami Boat Show......
 

What did everybody think of the show? Angie and I did the show on Monday. While it was HUGE, not much down there really sparked the interest. I think they had a grand total of two cats below 30', the prices started at $82,000 with a 496, and gained exponentially from there! It seemed more like a dreamers only event unless you sling crack for a living or have illegals doing your work for you. I haven't ever been to a more "nose in the air", "I've got more money than you--so you are beneath me", event in my life. It was really an eye opener to the way people seem to get when they are affluent.
Sorry for the rant....
Maybe we just got there on a bad day.
No need to return.

Cooltoys61,

Get in touch with Gary Grimes (770) 475-5272. He does a ton of work with Pro-Charger stuff. There are other modifications you will have to make other than just a carb to get it to live.

As far as Miami goes the show was OK better than some years, not as good as others. The new Stuff from CP and Hardin looked really good. Elimintor had two sub 30' cats, and Hustler had their 25' and think that was it. If you're looking for a cat in that size range the show to go to is LA. All the small boat manufactures from the left coast are out there.
