I thought the FL Syndicate idea was dead. I guess I've missed some of the info. Is it still in the "trying to figure out details" stage?

Michael,
I think the Florida Syndicate II idea may have a lot of merit. If GB is
still going to the Miami Boat Show, they could move a boat down there
early, rent it out around the boat show, and take it back with them (or
sell it). This would be a win for everyone.
