    I am wanting to attend a yacht show in FL this year, which is the best/biggest one to attend? Mainly wanting to look at broker boats in the 80+ foot range.

    If you are talking of BIG shows, the Miami ended two days ago. Next is Fort Lauderdale in the end of October... I don´t know if the Palm Beach is still arranged, but someone will hopefully tell you.

    But there are still many boats around so if you talk to a yacht broker, he or she can surely arrange to show you the ones most interesting to you.

    You´ll find the Florida brokers in the Yachtbrokers Listing here at the Forums. :)

    I should have mentioned that I was wanting to attend one later in the year, since I am in Texas we would like to plan a vacation around one.

    Thanks
