With three days ahead of you for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, you should have plenty of time to catch on the stories of the past seven days. And that’s a good thing, because there’s been a lot of them, from the release of the first aluminum tilt trailer from CTS Custom Trailers to the delivery of the latest 39-foot catamaran from Statement Marine. And if you happen to be on Miami Beach anytime this weekend, you catch a bevy of Cigarette Racing Team sportboats and center consoles—per the May 23 news story—in action as part of the Hyundai Air and Sea Show. On that note, team at Powerboat Nation will honor and celebration those military men and woman who gave their lives for this fine country.
