The 46th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will go on -- one week later, because of Hurricane Wilma.

The boat show will now open on Thursday, Nov. 3. The show will run through Sunday, Nov. 6.

"After extensive meetings with city and county officials, we have resumed set up for a complete in-water and on-land display," said Kaye Pearson, president of Yachting Promotions, Inc., producers of the show. "We understand how important this annual event is for marine industry businesses large and small, not just here in South Florida but also nationally and internationally, and we felt it was vital to do everything in our power to make it happen."

Pearson said that the city is making excellent progress in its recovery from the hurricane and should be ready to welcome visitors to the show next week.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will feature hundreds of millions of dollars worth of boats, yachts, super-yachts, electronics, engines and marine accessories.
