Going to be in South Beach staying at the RC for a convention Sunday - Wednesday I have Sunday to myself and would love to go somewhere close to see some boats or marinas. What would u South Florida folks recommend?

Monty's was always a place I would hit when down that way..

How close?

Thanks j bonz I will have to check it out. Is there a good place there or around to grab some good seafood and a beer?

Thanks Bonz, I hung out there yesterday for a LONG time. Food, beer and scenery was awesome.

Nice! Glad it worked out for you. Back some time in 06' the girlfriend (now wife) and I stopped in there before heading down to Key West. In the slip was the all orange 46' Skater "Hell Fire". We also saw Phil pull in on a twin step gun. I think he was taking a customer out on a test run. Really cool to watch all go down and sip on a beer....

While I was there a few really cool boats pulled in. 45 magnum, porsche boat (very neglected), deep impact with quad 300's, a bunch if cigs, a skater (I think) v bottom. Like u said very cool to watch. Struck up a conversation with 2 locals and the next thing I know 5 hours had gone by. Again thanks for the heads up. I would have never stopped there thing the food sucked but the raw bar was spot on. The scenery handles itself. Lots of gorgeous woman. LOTS

Hah! Sounds like fun. Thanks for the update.
