Not sure which is worse - normal conversation or **** slinging? That's telling, Don. What makes you think Harry and Kevin have boats?


The same way I believe you have a gun, golf clubs, motorcycle, big red truck, camper etc.

You like those pictures, huh?

I doubt Donnie has burned 12g of gas in his bigfoot since he's owned the
boat.

This is not a blog, this is a USENET newsgroup. The web site "www.boatbanter.com", from
whence you come, chooses to suck up the USENET rec.boats newsgroup into their site to make it
look like they have more "action" than they acutally do. If you want to implement a filter
then you should stop using www.boatbanter.com.

It was that. I came to the group in the mid 90s as a mostly sailboat
guy and learned a lot about power boats from this group in my early
years of that activity. Still learning of course but not so much
here.

People who come here with reasonable questions and attitudes still get
reasonable answers for the most part, but the talent pool is greatly
diminished. That's as much the fault of web based forums for the most
part, which many people seem to prefer for various reasons. It does
tend to fragment the knowledge base however.
