Aftermarket Jaw-Droppers Max-Out Miami Show Opening

You don’t have to know anything about high-performance powerboats, engines and accessories to be spellbound by the CP Performance/Hardin Marine exhibit outside the Miami International Boat Show, which opened this morning. The products are colorful and shiny—the very definition of bling. And bling, by design, is attention-getting.

From simple items like black push-button accessory switches and carbon fiber steering wheel “centers” to heavy-duty hardware such as tubular “Cyclone” headers and hatch rams that sync precisely with one another, the outdoor showcase is a marine gear-head’s toy store. That’s a given.

But in the 15 minutes I spent ogling the CP Performance and Hardin Marine display I watched one show-goer after the next stop and stare and point.

And more than once I heard, “What is that?”

Point being? Even show visitors who have no idea what they’re looking are drawn to the bling of steering wheels, complete engines on stands and cool Bluetooth-enabled items such as trim switches and audio controls—if they look cool and exotic.

In that regard, the CP Performance Marine/Hardin Marine exhibit is the perfect first stop to pump you up before you move to the bigger stuff—high-performance boats and such—inside the Miami Convention Center.

Don’t miss it.—Matt Trulio
