Going to Miami?
 

Anyone here going to Miami Boat show? I will be in Miami from the 9th - 19th. (with family in tow) I will spend a couple days at the show. I am staying at the Westgate Newport beachside resort a mile of so north of south beach.

Me, PQVyper340, and Donziman2 are going down 2/13 and leave 2/16. We will be staying at the Riu on Collins Ave.

There should be a nice showing of PQ boats there. Including (I think) the new 300, and a new 380 XP, a new 280 Suncruiser and a few current models. All this is only 3ed hand info.

From what I've read on the main board, a lot of OSO folks are staying at the Riu. Could be fun!

Karen and I will be at the RIU 2/13-2/16,should be fun. Robert

I am planning on going down to the show myself. Comming from orlando the trip isnt that bad for me. Not sure if i am going to stay in miami, but i think it is a stong possibility. Others i know that have <gasp> :eek: other kinds of boats are going as well. I was hopeful that PQ would attend the miami show, as i stated before i saw the booth for the Lauderdale show and it was nice. We need to represent PQ here in FL. Would love to meet many of you also. I am new to this post, and am always happy to meet new people. :D

Go PQ! Let's see that new 30 footer!

PQ factory people (Mark Winna & Pete Basica) will be at the Intermarine booth with some PQ boats.

Bill R,
I spoke to Mark last night - he indicated that P.Q. will be attending quite a few boat shows in the near future.
Thanks again for all the GOOD stuff..

boat2828, I deleted your post ;), send BillR an e-mail regarding your questions. Some of those items you posted are highly secretive ;)

Why would you delete something that BillR mentioned earlier in this thread?? Seems pretty odd on your part. And by the way who is it secretive to?

Where will the powerquest boats be in Miami at the convention center or at the in water show at the Marriot Biscayne Bay. I had heard initially they were not going to be there. Could someone offer some firm advice

Thanks,

Mark

does anyone have the phone number for the riu? I would like to make a reservation there if it is possible at this point to do so for that weekend... THANKS :cool:

Hotel Riu 305-673-5333
A total of 8 of us will be there from Arizon Hotboats.

boat2828, my mistake :o . I did not see that Bill mentioned that. Thanks Bill LOL ;)

As you can guess, these items are hot off the press things that I am sure PQ wants to keep under cover until the boat shows. It allows them some hot of the press coverage at the boat shows. :D.

Lets just say that I was told to make sure certain things stay under cover until it's time.

I am sure if you contact Bill he can see if he can answer your questions.

Thanks! going to give them a call now!

PQ themselves mentioned the 300 would be coming out soon. They want to give 260/280 owners something to upgrade to.
The rumor I have heard is, the 300 is being built right now and the first one hopefully will be done in time for the Miami show.
I also have heard a 28' Suncruiser is in the works too.
Looks like PQ's new owners are going to get aggressive with PQ!

Boathead and comrades will be there!

Look forward to meeting all of you PQ owners in Miami. Nice boats. Just added three 34 VYPERS to our club and one 28. Cannot wait till this summer to see them in action. See you all in Miami folks.

is anyone going to the gathering friday night? And if so Ya know where it is and the phone number to the resturant? We plan on going to it by water with my friends and want to call ahead to the dock master to make wure we can get a slip.. Any help would be great!

Yup,
We are going to the OSO gathering.

Cool, now where is it? :) I lost the number to the resturant so i can reserve a slip space. Or do you remember the name of it at least so i can call information?

OSO will be having a get together at Monty's in South Beach on Friday, February 15th. Open bar and appetizers from 5pm to 7pm. Come by land or by sea and bring your bathing suit for a dip in the pool. By land Monty's is located at 300 Alton Road. By sea come in to the Miami Beach Marina at the entrance to the Miami inlet (Goverment Cut). The party is at the poolside bar. Please RSVP to [email protected] and include the number in your party as well as your name and Board Name. If you are coming by sea we recommend you call the dockmaster as dock space is limited. 305-672-1148 Please RSVP as soon as possible!! This is a "must be there" event as OSO has some surprises for you!!

If you have a GPS is is right around:

Geek! I guess I'll have to take my GPS now just so I can find it... LOL :D

Thanks! And yes we will have GPS so that will help... We are comming from FT Lauderdale.

I'm leaving tomorrow! I cant wait, I'll post a few pictures after the show starts. I hear it's in the upper 70's low 80's.... :cool:
