I wish I was going. Had an opportunity to crew on a 52' island packet from Tampa to Miami for the show, but had company until yesterday. :-(
Did not make the show on Friday but did spend a few hours there on Sunday. Lots of cool boats, liked the Parker 28' Piolet House. Looked at some flats boats. Hewes Red Fisher 18' is the one we like. Waiting for info on extras.
$41000.00 incl. Tax.
My son John ready to go with it.
Only thing I purchased was a hot dog and a beer.[:-grumpy]

The Hewes is a very light, top of the line boat. Price is for a fully equipped boat, all the goodies that a flats fisherman wants.
E-Tec engine, Trolling motor, Carbon fiber push pole, tilt steering wheel, recessed stainless cleats, etc.
$41000.00 includes tax. I agree about the price being high, wouldn't spend that kind money on that type of boat myself, but wont mind fishing off of it in the Keys.
John looked at many less expensive boats but the Hewes is the one he wants. He is a hard worker and a great son, I wish him the best with his toys.

Joe - just south of you is a guy that builds katamaran flats fishing boats - they are amazing, look a bit like hydrofoil and can run 75 mph with a 250 outboard in 6 inches of water.....they are 100% fishing boats though. I can introduce you to the owner that does ALL of the work from mold to rigging....cool boat and guy.
