Went to the show yesterday and the two most interesting take always for me were that Tartan introduced their first Power Boat, a 32 with two larger models that will be in Miami, and New England's largest Catalina dealer is out of the new boat business.

Also had a great chat with Bruce Schwab regarding the Firefly batteries regarding availability. Apparently they are working on a deal to be able to fill the demand, but not before next year. I'm sure Maine Sail has more on this, but he gave me a great understanding of the business side of this.

If it was last year you would have seen me in Bruce's booth.. Too busy this year. I am hopeful Firefly can get caught up. Not a day seems to go by where I don't have an inquiry about the Firefly AGM's...

He said to say 'Hi' as I told him where I had so much info on the batteries ;)
