Karma?

I love it. The folks decide to remove a potentially enlightening post of Magic boats for fear of losing a sponsor. So, in turn their server is all f'd up.

Karma?

Just recieved my March issue of Hot Boat last night and low and behold an Editorial by Kevin Spaise on how "negative" they can be about test boats and how their objectivity isn't for sale. Sure.

Not for sale, but I bet you can rent it for the price of a full page spread.

It is all about money and sponsors...not what the subscribers want to read. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif

Kevin is full of shit. Don't try to pass on that holy bullshit to me bud, I know how the advertising business works!!

maybe i'm thinking of a different mag but didn't they just publish a huge article last month about how they do fudge a bit on their reports to keep the boat companies happy and will allow them to fix the boat and run it back through there tests?http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif? maybe i'm wrong, but i thought i read that somewhere http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/ohboy.gif

you're not wrong Rude. He said this time, "...a manufacturer may drop advertising for a bit due to a negative test, but I know they will come back..." If he is so f**king cocky and confident, then why didn't he tell us who those two boats were, that, last summer were deemed "unsafe"!? He tells it like it is? Bull Shit!!

[Rude]

yeah, i remember that one too!! they never once even gave a hint as to what manufacturer that was. they dogged that boat BIG time. but in this article he says NONE of them build a bad boat http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif it sounds to me like they are working on there political campaign skills. they just keep talking in circles.
