Thanks for posting these pics guys - I know it was a tremendous amount of work.

Thank you so much for the pics!!

Did Inprepid show the new 245?

[Capt Rick Hiott]

Yeah,,,,,Thanks for the Pic's Ludicrous!

I had the same problem with the "AUTO" white balance on my Canon camera. I shot a few at the boat show here. Fixed it in PhotoShop.....But that takes forever!

Long weekend indeed. It took 9 hours today for me to get these photos compiled and on the forums.

Not sure if Ludicrous got pix of the Intrepid.

There is a chance I am going back to the show tomorrow. If I'm able, I will snap some.

We may have some video of the Intrepids.

thanks so much for the intrepid shots. great work

Trophy left out again.

Just joined the forum and deleted the Hull Truth from my favorites list.

Had some free tickets to the MBS but didn't really want to drive up from the Keys. Easier to just check out Wiley's photos and let him get the sore knees from miles of walking. Thanks!

I really believe the MBS and the new boat market is taking a hit by the number of used boats on the market.

Down here in the Keys the shake out from the housing boom is taking its toll. Two home owners across the canal from me and one next door, all in the construction business have put up for sale signs. Interstingly enough all three bought high performance boats with triple engines. One Intrepid, one Contender and one Donzi. One is trying to sell the house with the entire package including the Contender and a Bay boat. Those guys didn't hit the show this year.

Welcome jws.

I am tired indeed.

The consensus I got from the Show was that larger high powered boats were selling better than your standard 26' single engine boats. With smaller boat doing better than them as well.
