Florida Sportsman Boating Editor, Dave East, talks with Michael Brown, Dusky Boats, about their new 278T center console.
The Ft. Lauderdale International Boat show opened last Thursday with Hurricane Sandy passing by closely offshore producing gale-force winds onshore.
The gusts and rain made for barely tolerable conditions at the Bahia Mar outdoor portion of the show, however, attendees were treated to perfect conditions inside the convention center.
