Miami Boat Show 2012

Today we decided to visit the Miami International Boat Show! It was sponsored by Progressive Insurance this year and let me tell you it was quite a show. I have been going to the boat show for many years and it seemed to me like it was dwindling down but not for 2012! Money must be good because there was a line for tickets throughout the day not only to enter the show but to find parking. I was lucky enough to find $15 parking very close to the show! Seadoo also sent me a free ticket, lucky me. Maybe they are trying to get me to switch from Yamaha LOL. Anyway's, we are thinking about purchasing a bigger boat in the future so the boat show sure showed us some great choices. I really liked the Intrepid lineup and of course Midnight Express. When I hit the lotto I will definitely purchase one! Enjoy the pics.

The wheels you see on the boat allow it to be driven out of the water and onto dry land. The system is called Sea-Legs and honestly it is pretty cool!

On the way to the show we saw what looked to be a 19-21 foot open fisherman cruising down the street. Wonder what it is registered as...

Texas highway patrol boat. I guess they collect a lot of money in fines because to build this thing costs a small fortune.

This is a view of the cabin. Most of the boat is surrounded by bulletproof glass and shields.

Mercury Power baby!

Too fast for me

I thought this was a pretty cool angle. This boat was in the $200,000 range

While at the show I also discovered my future truck. This thing is a beauty! 6 door.

The new Sea Doo 260. The seat on this thing is so uncomfortable for me.
