The Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), the largest of its kind in North America, runs this year from October 30 through November 3, attracting marine enthusiasts and industry leaders from around the globe. Known for displaying the latest in boating innovations, the show features over 1,300 boats and 1,000 brands and draws in nearly 100,000 attendees each year. Performance Power Systems, dedicated to providing marine diesel and hydraulic solutions to boat owners and captains worldwide, is thrilled to be part of this celebrated event.

Industry Insights and Innovation

This year, Performance Power Systems’ owner, Dave Orr, along with members of our senior leadership team, navigated the show floor, connecting with vendors, manufacturer representatives, and other leaders in marine engineering. With FLIBS continually pushing the envelope on what is possible in yacht and marine technology, our team observed firsthand the exciting innovations shaping the industry.

From advanced engine systems to state-of-the-art navigation tools, the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show brings together the latest trends, inspiring Performance Power Systems to continue refining our marine diesel and hydraulic systems offerings. Many industry names, from Caterpillar, Northern Lights, and Volvo Penta to Scania, highlighted their newest engines, each boasting improved power, fuel efficiency, and durability.

Complimentary Hydraulic Inspections for Vessel Owners

As part of our commitment to supporting marine professionals, Performance Power Systems offered complimentary hydraulic inspections to boat owners, captains, and engineers attending the show. These inspections ensure that hydraulic-powered equipment performs at peak performance, whether a vessel’s steering systems, stabilizers, or cranes. Routine inspections can help prevent downtime, especially during long voyages or competitive fishing seasons.

For those who missed this opportunity, Performance Power Systems provides comprehensive hydraulic services at any time of the year. Our team of experienced technicians is ready to help identify any maintenance needs and keep your vessel in top condition.
