For those of you with the love of power boating and all things that resonate with it then you would have literally been overwhelmed with Stu Jones Key West Poker Run Village this year. While the village has morphed over the years in shape and size it would seem that Stu’s experience and careful choice of vendor selection has made it liken to a high end shopping mall for power boaters. The attendance seemed as strong if not stronger than ever with booths and vendors open as late as 11:00PM trying to accommodate all the visitors. From displays, to hospitality trailers, manufacture support, as well as new boat displays. Highlights of the show would have been Dustin Whipple’s new Outerlimits, Chief Performance total refit of their support trailer with a bevy of engine offerings, Hardin Marine’s new interactive product support trailer, and of course we would remiss not to mention the Powerboat Nation Billet display booth run by a bevy of beauties. Honorable mention for attendance would have to be the Mercury Racing Apparel sales booth that always seemed to have a line out front.
