I like the boat Chuck I really do, I certainly have no issue with it's origins, but I do find you now spruiking Chinese boats???? 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!!! K 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. K 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. |
