Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's hoping some of your customers pass by the candy and flowers and give their sweetie a new boat! That would be a fresh twist on an old theme but certainly, it would be a great way to say, I love you.

Perhaps you have already "Tweeted" that idea to your followers. We'd love to know how it works out. Send me a message.

I will be away at the Miami Boat Show from February 15 to 19 but I'm always online and I will watch for your email or Twitter response. We are also keen to see how the crowds and sales are at the 2017 Miami International Boat Show. This is the NMMA's second year at the Virginia Key location and the show owners have made big investments in more docks and site infrastructure, as well as into faster and higher capacity transportation to the show around the city.

We'll report on that and the exciting new boats next week.
