I avoid Miami like the plague, ICAST might be something I would be interested in, I know a few YouTubers that go, that are into fresh and saltwater Kayak fishing, they go and do reviews on the new kayaks.

I was born in Miami. I now live 700 miles from there and that's not far enough! rofl
Saw an article in one of my fishing / boating magazines where there's going to be a new 50 ft Center Console at the show. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

Hahaha, I hear you Juan..'5O CC, wow...it sounds like that CC that recently hit the jetties coming into Port Everglades, don't know if you heard about it, but it was some guy who had just purchased a 40 something foot boat, (looked like a center console) and decided to take the boat out at night with two other couples, and hit the south end of the jetties full tilt boogie,the impact threw everyone out of the boat and on to the jetty rocks, amazingly no one was killed...but yeah a 5O ft CC would be interesting to see, probably one of those monsters with the 6 outboards hanging off the back... www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-ne-boat-crash-jetty-fort-lauderdale-20191231-wxrglortsvfnfbfzhiczdtlgoa-story.html

Ouch! I've seen that picture posted somewhere but didn't realize it was that recent.

Don't get it . Besides traffic and how much the clubs cost, I have fun in Miami. Have a couple friends who live in the keys and we meet up there, party then back to Big Pine. Miami boat show is like Chicago Auto Show. If someone was in the market for a repower or boat, there are some killer deals to be had. I go more to see the aftermarket/accessory stuff though.

Just having fun. I used to be a moderator and did boat shows for Florida Sportsman magazine and got burnt out on both the magazine and the shows. I don't like crowds and the promotions that go along with those shows but I'd probably go if I still lived in the Keys.

I've been close to a few boat shows, but not when I could go. Has anyone gone and seen anything cool?
