THT Miami Boat Show Photo Journalists - The Hull Truth

Ludicrous · 01-26-2007, 02:36 PM

Last years pix were ok but I'm taking it to a new level this year. Might try to convince the wife to stay home this year. For some reason she rushed me through the Fountain indoor booth area. (I would give anything to be a bar of soap in the Fountain Girls shower...You Go Reggie!!!!) Once again I'll devote most of my time on the center consoles by the big names. Anyone want particular photos of certain boats let me know. Last year I only took 144 photos. Who are the other THT photo journalists attending this year and what's your plan of attack?

I will be covering the Fountain booth from all angles........including close-ups

Lud,

Any pics of new boat companies(not the mega yachts stuff, ugly or pretty I don't care) products would be great to see. I think new boat companies use the Florida shows as a coming out party.

Thanks,

Andy

Unlike the snobs at the Ft Laud Show, Miami was wise enough to give us THT Press Passes to the show.

We're bringing 3 cameras but priority will go to those Vendors who make requests to us.

Would like to work some arrangement with the "unofficial tht photogs"

Let me think of something.... hmmmm

JDBer94 · 01-27-2007, 09:00 PM

I've never taken a photo of a boat at a boat show. Maybe I'll give it a try this time ......

Nick, I'll see what I can do for you. Sure you didn't forget one or two you'd like to see? (in addition to the 11 you've listed)

LOL, well.......you can throw Viking on the list too

. I dont expect you to go out of your way, but in just case you come across any of one them, a few pix would be cool. I just love seeing those battlewagons

Thanks Ludicrus,

Just what I wanted to hear, since I live in Europe !!!
I would very much like some photos of the Robalo R300 and the new Chris Craft 29CC.
Any prelim performance #'s would be greatly appriciated as well.
If you have the extra time please measure the length of the big (I know the R300 has 2) livewells on these boats (I need the length to see if I can fit the live needlefish I use for bait, and these things can easily get up to 20-25 inches in length...)

Thanks

NICKTG...I'll note that request and look for them.

I think THT is going to be "the place" to see the 2007 Miami Boat Show without actually going to it. Last year I spent time looking at the boats at the show....and even more time after the show on THT seeing photos of stuff I missed.

Can anyone (cough...cough...GLEN E...) cover/photo the electronics this year?

Wet-n-Wiley · 02-02-2007, 01:50 PM

Loodus.

I'm going to post a photo thread on here this afternoon. Hopefully we can get some organization and do this up right!

More today.
