I was uploading each boat individually, but got side tracked with the virus stuff like everyone else. That said in an effort to get past some of this doom and gloom and since I'm at the office right now.

I've gone to Miami for a few years and Marine Stadium is always one of those things I stand in awe of.. I really wish they'd bring it back to it's former glory and do races here again.

Mercury's booth is impressive at the Miami show. I couldn't even pretend to know what this costs to rent space / setup / tear down / store etc..

Walking the docks it's pretty obvious why they do such a large setup for the show.

Scout is a brand we don't talk about much out here, but they are flat ass unreal as well. Note the swing out barstools. These boats have more cool features on them than anyone else.. Including the expanding sides. If you look closely at the gunnels they will actually lower down so you can walk right onto the boat or off... As well expand the area while you are out on a calm day.

Yachtsport Tender.. The boat is all electric and runs Torqueedo outboards. I didn't ask much about it because it isn't in my purview, but when I was walking by the guy was telling someone that it runs 41 mph and actually has a decent range.

Dave, I heard that the Outerlimits was one of very few performance V's at the show. True?

These were some locals that I told them I'd buy the drinks if they showed us around. :D. It was totally worth it.

Several bars are kinda "speak easy" deals where you wouldn't even know there was a club in the back or a bar etc.. One of them was a freakin taco shop (not the one pictured) where you go through this door down a long hallway and through another door and it was a club.. There was a couple of them that we would have never known about or even thought to go into.

What do ya guys think of Deep Impact? They used to make one called a 330 that I felt would be a perfect Havasu / West coast boat.. Wasn't too big and it ran twins, but held a ton of people and had a huge bar on it etc..

This is what they brought to the Miami Boat Show!

Great pics RD.

Never liked the lines on the deep impacts. That swoop down the back is kinda their signature and I personally just think it looks bulbous and funky.

What was your impression of the Sunny 32? I think if I ever went to a CC this would be the one, very trailerable, lots of room to move around, great perf numbers etc. etc. Have been in their 34 but not the 32.

X2 on the Deep Impacts, my thoughts exactly.

Nortech is pretty much the top of the game as far as CC's are concerned.. We did a great factory tour of them awhile back if you guys are interested. https://www.riverdavesplace.com/forums/threads/eastbound-bohica-florida.183839/page-3
I think the 390 NorTech is the best looking center console out there. And it’s pretty fast too.

Well back atcha because the Nor techs are at the top of their game absolutely. And such a cool backstory how terry sobo (their sales manager) saw the sport boat market dying on the late 2000’s and went to tron and nips and pitched them to build a CC mold. They weren’t interested so terry pitched them if he brought the money to back it would they build the mold. They did. He did. And the rest is history. Great boats. I’ve run a bunch of Nor techs over the years and have always loved every one!

Alright lets take a look at some $$ now that literally makes the richest people any of us know look like peasants.. LOL.

I'm going off memory here, but this first one "Bold" fits the term Mega Yacht.. I can't remember if this is the one or not.. but the new "hotness" is you have your mega yacht, then something that looks like this that is the "garage" Mega yacht that follows your mega yacht around so you can have more toys.. LOL.

I like deep impacts except for the hard top. There is just something about it that I do not like.
