Curious seeing the somewhat smallish Orange Cat to have a helo perched on it's roof, I checked it's listing. It's a 66' cat for 3.99 million, apparently extremely efficient design as at speed (Max 47 knots) it's running on foils.

I just saw on the news that a new 50' boat (looked center console) exploded while fueling at a boat show in FL. Is this the same show

The amount of money on the Florida waterways is insane. It’s nice to see hellkat still building boats after the tragic deal with the owner years back.

Good work detective!

I had no idea who the manufacturer was. I was actually VERY surprised to see a helicopter on such a small boat.

If I were the pilot of the helicopter, my last words to my passenger after landing would be……. “Watch your step”. It seems like it would be really easy to step out of helicopter and fall into ocean.

This yacht just went past my home. I figured I would post it here.

Take a look at the name. It’s hilarious!!!

The Yacht is named………. DUMB ASS

Are the small manned submersibles no longer popular on the bigger boats? Seemed that was the latest must have just a few years ago.

Great shots! I'm flying in Friday evening for the show. My friend owns a brokerage and they have been busy moving boats in yesterday and today. Have not been since 2014. Hope to get some great weather for a weekend out of the cold.

I heard a boat took on a lot of water, while docked for show. They were hoping to get it “re-floated”.

Nobody mentioned what kind of boat it was.

The talk amongst my group is all about the boat that blew up at Nautical Ventures.

Hush Hush is basically the rule of thumb. I would rather not elaborate why. I’d like to continue to work the boat shows. lol

If there are photos going around……… It won’t take long before they are on my other local forums. If they are trying to keep it under wraps, then I will PM them to you. Ive got multiple friends working the boat show set up as I type this. I will be seeing them all at a boat show party Wednesday.

One last thing………. For you guys planning on coming to the boat show, we have a storm forming in the Caribbean, currently with a 40% chance of developing into something. Just a heads up.
