    The burning question of FLIBS 2018: Does the world really need quilted seats on a center console?

    Not to be 'Rude, but we bet Ralph was doing 300 rpm’s in his grave when he saw this design.

    It was standing room only at the food court, literally. Informa replaced the food court seating with bar pedestals. IMO, bad decision. Not only were people less likely to spend money at the food court, but a lot of deals and decisions were made while sitting down for lunch. They are treating consumers and attendees like crew on an Italian built yacht. And charging all of them considerably more to attend the show!

    A barge of a boat?

    Reminds me of the boat show barge Lazzara built a years ago. The builder is calling it a yacht. We would call it a container.

    As much as I like the idea of the practicality of having an open and an enclosed bridge. The looks just dont do it for me. too many levels.
