Walking the docks at any boat show is a great time. The sun glistens off the gelcoat of brand new boats, and you get a perfect look at how the boat sits in the water. Yet, sometimes it’s nice to get a break from the heat while checking out the equally amazing displays inside the convention center. Here are just some of the impressive boats we came across inside the Broward County Convention Center.
