A man who walked onto Pier 5 in downtown Miami less than four years ago with $11 in his pocket is putting the final touches on an 11-boat fishing fleet this summer. Capt. Roy Lloyd, chief of the "Silver King Fleet," reported the purchase of three brand new $50,000 Pacemaker "Showboats" along with the initiation of a Resident Fishermens Association. Lloyd, who will sponsor a sprawling marine display at the "Summer Sports Jamboree" this weekend at Central Shopping Plaza, intends to direct this Resident Fishermens Association to the average local resident, who "are interested in sport fishing, but don't feel they can afford normal prices."
