Just back from a couple of days at the show. Went on the Rodriguez dock, amonst many others. They didn't know MattS and they were not showing a Leopard, but they did show me around a 72ft Mangusta. Impressive, but don't buy one of those, Matt; the silverware was tarnished! There is however a great deal on a Baja Panther 80; it's a 1999, the one which was in our marina but the owner died recently. They are asking $2.3M, but will take $1.8M. It is absolutely stunning inside and out. It even has a built-in TV in the jacuzzi, and has only 500hrs on twin 1800hp MTUs with Arneson surface drives. I've seen it go. It kicks up a 30ft rooster tail. The guy, whom I know, who took it down there to the show said they ran at 49kt and used 1500 USgal for the 300 miles. The 75ft Baija is beautiful, too (and so were the many Latino ladies of South Florida who were in abundance), but I digress. I've had a couple of bottles of Bass to wash away my drool from the past two days and am now going to bed.
