Gould,
The post you responded to was on topic. Boat reviews in magazines are fluff
pieces for the boat builder, they read like the boat manufacturer gave you
the piece and you just signed your name. Karen calls these posts SPAM, and
they are. I am amazed you actually try to convenience anyone they aren't.

A new boater should understand the boat magazines make money by using their
fluff PR pieces to sell ads and to sell reprints of the articles so the
dealers can give them to everyone interested in the boat.

Your contention that the reviews are always positive because every boat
design is superb and all boat manufactures build quality boats shows you
believe the buyers are gullible. Everyone who has responded to my statement
that boat reviews are fluff PR pieces have agreed with me. NO boater in the
group buys into your BS.

The man of a thousand screen names bitched:

You boat review provided a valuable service, because it highlighted the
need
for boat buyers to take what they read in boat mags with a grain of
salt.

Yeah, yeah. Yawn. Say, when was the last time you or Hurtwit posted
anything *on* topic?
How much salt is required to deal with a guy who hangs out in a boating
NG and doesn't boat?
