Spruiking?

Yep spruiking all your so called reviews are not much better than paid
advertising & given your priors about anything from the ROC I'll enjoy
the NG review of your article very much.

As for the boat?? as I said very nice however like all steel boats
bought 'finished" you never know what lurks inside & even below the
paint. Certainly there will be the endless claims about the hull prep
etc which you will of course take hook line & sinker them propagate as
fact in your article but ....... very risky buying a steel boat new or
secondhand unless you factor into the pricing a complete reblast &
paint, sad but true no matter where it's built.

They're great for the owner builder because they "can" know exactly
what's under the facade.

Also as mentioned displacement speed boats travel @ knots not mph, I
know when you are marketing as you always are it's a lower number but
hey don't blame me, it's controlled by the diam of the earth & even you
can't blame me for that!!!

Here's a harry lie still on the good ol' Dad theme for ya Chucky;

"My father and his chief mechanic once crossed the Atlantic in winter in
a 22'boat powered by twin outboards. Yes, it is possible, even the fuel.
Got a "fireboat" welcome in NYC."

I suppose a man of your intellect is wondering just where a simpleton
like Harry got this lie from??? here (ever helpful I am:-)) is one of
the articles he cherry picked the basics from.


James R. Wynne, 1929-1990 - A Closer Look
One of those fortunate people whose work and passion seem perfectly
matched, Jim Wynne began racing powerboats as a hobby during his school
years. He made the union between hobby and career official when he
obtained a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of
Florida, a Master’s from MIT and took his first job as chief test
engineer for Kiekhaefer Corp. Jim supervised testing of Mercury outboard
motors in Wisconsin and Florida until 1958, when he crewed on the first
transatlantic crossing by an outboard-powered boat, traveling from
Copenhagen to New York in a 22-foot boat.


Damn those firetugs must have been busy greeting them back then!!!
those endless 22 ftrs from Copenhagen must have looked like an
invasion:-) OOps now I get it Jim was "Harry's" Dad's engineer!!! of
course that explains the similarities, that or a whale falling out of
space:-)

More confirmation of Harry's denigration of his late Dad's life. His
father lies are his worst lies as far as I'm concerned, the others & his
stalking behaviour just confirm Harry himself as a failure; but to drag
his late Dad in.... well that's really low.

I said it was interesting. It's a new boat, at least to this end of the
country. Many people might not be aware of it.

I also said the boat was imported, so what's the Aussie dung about "deceptive"?

Mentioning this boat is on topic. No apologies from me.
