Reply With QuoteI guess it's a follow up to last month's salute to 20 year old flat bottoms.If I wanted to see 20 year old boats with rebuilt motors, I'd buy a boat trader.
Now thats funny!!!!!
Just got this month's issue, took about 4 -5 minutes to look through it. Nothing to see, Please disburse, move along. Wow, you talk about boring. I thought I had received an issue of Trailer Boat magazine, 10 pages on tubes, get real, although page 34 held my attention for quite a whileNSF
Got mine the other day, very disapointed with what was insidejust cant get that excited about East Coast boats, and tubes?????

Have they ever tested a boat that they used a little objectivity?
They did refer to one boat as a "demon boat, unsafe at any speed." They also had some critical words of the new boats that were being built down in Temecula, forget the company name, that the fit and finish was not up to the quality standards they expected to see.
I think some of thier boat speeds are done with an Ethiopian sitting on a milk crate in a bare to the bones boat with a sniff of gas going downhill in Parker while overpropped. Optimistic to say the least. I think their goal is to help the boat builders sell boats with the hope of advertising income.

I think you are 100% correct

ECLIPSE, They were producing a 24 cat with canopies, now defunct I think. NSF

FYI, the mag is sold coast to coast. The covers are also different from one coast to the next each month. Found that out by telling Sunsation they did not make the cover of the mag I had, but on the east coast version they did :idea:

100 and 10% correct! Try and get your boats to "HOT BOAT TESTING"? First question they asked was "Does your company advertise in our magazine?" I told them not yet but was intending to and I was told " you have to advertise with them before you can come to their testing"! If you sign up for 6 months for the inside cover your boats are the HOTTEST THING ON THE MARKET!! What a joke. You can have it.

Publications with any kind of journalistic integrity (what is oftern referred to in the publishing industry as "separation of church and state" which means keeping the ad revenue/sales separate from the magazine's core which is/should be editorial), often are guilty of this.
If only Hot Boat had nudity on its pages then their magazine sales would go up, ad revenue up and life on this Web site would be much better for all of us! :idea: :idea: :idea:
I just recently subscribed again, I think it is starting to head in the direction it used to be in. Which means (sorry) no big boats. I like the article about tubing, I actually have my eye on one in there. I love how they are going back to the river rods.
