Start at convention center then take water taxi to Bahia. You will see all center consoles at the convention center and most everything else at Bahia in the water

Parking? lol NONE. or pay $50+ Buy a scooter, park on the grass. Actually, I let you know in a secret. Just North of Bahia, there is a small shopping center, go buy something, keep your receipt, and park all day.

I always park at the convention center parking garage if you get there early there is plenty of parking, I go straight out the back and catch the bus to Bahia Mar, then after getting hot walking around in the sun all day I take the bus back to the nice cool convention center and see the stuff there last.

First time going to the Lauderdale show and didn't realize the lack of performance boats in attendance. I'll still have a blast but somewhat disappointed.

I was very dissapointed there was not a better portfolio of performance boats also. Was hoping that some of the race boats were not on display before KW. Will have to wait for another week, or camp out on the bridgle and watch them make the the journey south

It is a good show, NorTech and Formula will have full line displays. As far as raceboats, the show promoters charge for everything so teams would actually have to pay huge money to display a boat! Waste of money for most teams!

Not having Cigarette there will be odd since they always had 4-5 boats on display and had some epic boats there in the past like Phil's 42X Purple Haze, 46 Rum Runner and even had a few MTIs in their display area over the years. It surely comes down to money, if the cost of being there wouldn't translate into a sale or two then it isn't worth the hassle especially with only a dealer or two nationwide to help defray the costs.
