Traffic in and around the area\u2014and most of South Florida for that matter\u2014is congested most of the time and savage at peak hours. But once you get there, there\u2019s plenty to see at the docks and the layout is easy to navigate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet for exhibitors, the challenge of offering demo experiences is ongoing. All of the boats in the water dock-locked for the duration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not just a hurdle at the Fort Lauderdale happening. It\u2019s also a major headache at the annual <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiboatshow.com\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"82\" title=\"Miami International Boat Show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Miami International Boat Show<\/a>. In fact, the problem is so acute at the Miami affair that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercuryracing.com\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"Mercury Racing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Mercury Racing<\/a> hosts an annual invitational demo-event at Grove Harbour Marina\u2014a 30-minute drive from the Miami Convention Center on a very good day\u2014in Coconut Grove from Wednesday morning through Friday at noon during the show.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mti26laudpromo-1024x457.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168533\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marinetechnologyinc.com\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"41\" title=\"Marine Technology Inc.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MTI<\/a> is coming to Fort Lauderdale in a big way next month.

The Wentzville, Mo., company will have 422 and 50 V center consoles at the Bahia Mar docks. The team also will have the same models at Haulover for by-appointment demos. (Demo reservations can be made through MTI\u2019s Shaun Peters and Tom Stuart.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.powerboatnation.com\/mti-doubling-up-again-for-fort-lauderdale-exhibit-and-haulover-demos\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More: MTI Doubling Up Again For Fort Lauderdale Exhibit And Haulover Demos<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mtispring26run-lede-1024x457.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163028\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company will have its 44-foot catamaran and 50-foot center console (above), as well as its 442 center console in the mix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Related stories<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/speedonthewater.com\/mti-goes-breakfast-clubbing-for-second-year-at-the-lake-of-the-ozarks\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MTI Goes Breakfast-Clubbing For Second Year At The Lake Of The Ozarks<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/speedonthewater.com\/shootout-updates-dirty-duck-winged-hall-of-famers-inducted-mti-expanding-presence-and-a-big-favor\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shootout Updates: Dirty Duck Winged, Hall-Of-Famers Inducted, MTI Expanding Presence And A Big Favor<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/speedonthewater.com\/mti-going-with-record-setting-showcase-at-shootout-on-the-strip\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MTI Going With Record-Setting Showcase At Shootout On The Strip<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/speedonthewater.com\/gallagher-opens-straight-arrow-marine-full-service-mti-dealership-and-more-in-southwest-florida\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gallagher Opens Straight Arrow Marine Full-Service MTI Dealership\u2014And More\u2014In Southwest Florida<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home to a healthy variety of high-performance powerboat exhibits during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat, the Bahia Mar&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-411397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
