no booths, there are not a lot of do it your self type people at that show :) About 4 years ago helped with the kiwigrip booth, talked to people for two solid days and handed out a couple hundred coupons to kiwigrip through our site - resulted in ZERO sales of kiwi-grip :x For the cost of a booth there for a few days you can buy the top page of google search for a year :D

I checked out the 600 hp motor and even had a chat with one of their engineers. Its a pretty amazing machine, and I think they will be successful. The giant center consoles are not just bigger fishing boats, they are a replacement for sport fishing boats. A 45' CC with 3 or 4 huge outboards will cost the owner much less to run and operate over time, plus he can drive his own boat. It can be kept on a lift, no hawlouts to worry about, and no draft issues (opens up a lot of island trips) all without needing to have a captain. The boats cruise so fast there is no reason to bring the accommodations of condo inside. One of the bigger midnight express boats get over 1 mpg while cruising around 50.

One thing I thought was interesting is that it has closed cooling with a heat exchanger.
