Was at the Miami boat show yesterday, lots of boats, smaller then Ft. lauderdal show with the support stuff and vendors. My biggest takeaway is stay away from Miami if you don't like traffic. I had to leave around 4:30 to head to the keys for a work issue, original plan was dinner in Miami then leave- don't travel around Miami at rush hours. The sailfish contingent was small 4 or 5 boats. Prices were not on the descriptions and I did not ask. I looked behind the scenes in one and found the wiring is improved over my 2021 sailfish

Looks to be your same model on the showroom floor, did you notice any other improvements over your MY after sharing feedback with the factory? Curious if they addressed that pinched hose drainage issue.

226 is the front boat. the 226 had more room at batteries then my 245. No one from factory was there,maybe coming for weekend. I believe sailfish is makeing a better boat then 3 years ago. I know they fixed pinched hose in future builds as when Im was dealing with it I was in contact with them.

Always fun looking at the new boats (except for the electric ones). Haven't been to Miami in many years and even then I didn't do any driving. Company provided all transportation, but I do remember lots of pinch points for traffic. Almost thought the 226 with a hardtop was a 245 with new hardtop supports.
Getting ready for spring boating and summer fishing. Water temp here is 44.6. I did exercise the boat last week and saw a few boats out for tautog, but no one was catching. Probably be May before there's much to fish for here. Envy you guys further south.

Back in the 90's when I was going to the Key, we flew into Miami and I'll never forget the rental car agent telling us, "Don't stop at red lights, just go through if it's all clear." This was their advise to avoid getting car jacked.

3rd world traffic, airport, city, football stadium, and a hospital I had a very bad experience with.
