By-appointment only, demo rides will again be offered at Grove Harbour Marina in Coconut Grove during the first three days of the upcoming Miami International Boat Show, which is set for February 12-16 in the famed South Florida city. Mercury Racing is teaming up with several of its boat-builder customers to bring back the off-site Grove Harbour event, which is entering its third year.

The first M42R catamaran from Phoenix-headquartered DCB Performance Marine will be among the new-for-2025 models available for demos at the Grove Harbour location. Powered by a pair of 500-hp Mercury Racing outboard engines, the 42-foot full-tunnel cat also will be part of the Florida Powerboat Club Miami Boat Show Poker Run fleet the following weekend. DCB vice-president Tony Chiaramonte will be behind the wheel for both events.
