If you are serious about buying a 38 HyperSonic you be better off going to the factory then the Miami boat show..

A very respected member here already was, that lasted about 2 weeks and done.
Another member had issues building a new 31 and waited over 9 months over false promises to finally get his boat in hand. Now it's for sale in 1/2 less time than it took the frustrating build process.
A new company hammer down on buying one after another existing boat manufactures barely on the brink.
Biggest hi-performance boat show of the year and a no-show.
In my opinion.......hmmm hmmm

Well because I am going to a show to look at and compare a lot of different boats in one day instead of flying to 5 different cities. They should be there for their customers ease in my opinion. I am a company owner/operator also so I understand there can be cost issues but to me I would want to have my new product line up in the face of thousands of potential customers with cash. I have launched several startup brands for our company and the first thing we do is book trade shows heavily then let word of mouth carry after that. I am not knocking the company I just want them to understand that there are potential customers who would love to see them there. Hopefully they pull it together for next years show.

Most people that are willing to spent that kind of cash are NOT shopping they allready have it narrowed down to what brand they like..

At that time I was considering a Formula 31. I was putting two
girls through school so I didn't have the money until 1994. I always
remember Sonic being at the boat show. First they could only afford
being outside ( the cost was $10,000.00). Later they were
inside. At the 1993 boat show a Sonic salesman said I could
get into a Sonic 28ss for $65k. Wow! When the last kid graduated
in 1994 I bought my first 28ss for 75k. I loved the boat, but
I never would have bought a Sonic if I had not see one at
the Miami Boat Show!
