GL: All magazine Power Boat Reports STINK!

[FloridaKeyz@aol.com]

To me, seems like all the boating magazines, give a false report of  vessels. 
Have you ever read a bad report on a boat? I haven't. According to  boating 
magazines all NEW power boats are GREAT,. and have no problems.
 
And just about every time you see a report on a boat, the is a full page  add 
in the mag for that boat also.
 
And while I am on the subject, why the hell do the "cruising " magazines do  
reports and story's on boats costing millions of $$? Nobody I know cruised on  
those mega yachts.
 
To a T, every cruiser I have ever met, bought and cruises on a used boat,  
and older boats. Hell, mine and several other cruisers I know have antique  
status on their Fl. Registration because our boats are 30 years or older. Look  at 
an MTOA conventions, all older trawlers.
 
I would love to see some magazine do some stories on real cruisers, not the  
Norhaven bunch. Who the hell are they?
 
How about a magazine that does stories on real cruisers?
 
There, that will be 4 cents please.  

See you  on the Waterway
