Not exactly. Depends where you want to keep it. Are you thinking Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano or Palm Beach?

My Parents are in Palm Beach Gardens. I go see them thru out the winter and then down to Key West. If I keep it there I could visit them and take the boat down to Key West. Find docking and stay at the Southern Most Hotel.

The nicest Marina in Boca Raton is Marine One. It is about 20 minutes or so from Palm Beach. It is a high end marina and not far from Boca Inlet.
In Pompano Hidden Harbor is pretty nice also. Just 10-15mins from Hillsboro Inlet.

There is a rack storage indoor place by my parents near the end of PGA blvd right on the intercostal waterway. Not sure if catamaran storage is special or some thing. Ill check when I go down in November. You going Key West. Im going the 8th thru the 14th.

Nasty, make sure if you rack it the boat is supported the same way it is on the trailer.....on the inner chines and not just in the tunnel. You can check with Pete on this but I am pretty sure he doesn't like to see them supported in tunnel alone.

Sounds like you are going to have allot more fun this winter than most of us!

Well boys its getting better. Ran 114mph today. Don't have many details just 114mph at 6966rpm. No ramps cut in yet just a different prop shaft height. More details to follow. Yay. Still think there is more left too. Their words not mine. Steve.

6 guys + Fuel Load @ 98 mph... they honestly are telling you that they are "Working" on dialing in your boat???? I NEED a career change!

What are the ECM's going to read for hours when they return the boat to you??? LOL

Saw the photo of the 114mph run. Noticed the water pressure was near zero......wonder if they raised motors for a quick low water pressure run to see what it would do?
Noticed on the pic of the 110mph run it showed water pressure.
