thank you. all of the stuff you mentioned really is the good stuff. I don't remember many of the wins; its the losses that really stuck with me. :)

Here's a good story: I'm playing blackjack at the the Bluewater and the center seat is empty. A younger guy rolls up, doesn't sit down, and begins making wild ass bets. More than once this dude is splitting Queens and winning. Every time he wins he screams at the top of his lungs, "Let's Go!"...

Hot Boat forum days were the wild Wild West of the interwebz.

I left socal 10 years ago and haven't wasted a nanosecond second-guessing that decision. I go back enough to visit family and work that the only thing I miss there are hot rod boats, my friends and Mexican food.

thank u!

drive-by-wire systems, even the aftermarket ones, default to the closed throttle position when there is an issue with the pedal, voltage, or throttle body. it sounded like he just was revving the engine and forgot the truck was in drive.

Get off my lawn.....

Corporations kill creativity. And yes, you're right at some point whoever owns the ship is gonna sell it and the crew is gonna pay the price. Every magazine (except Hot Rod) I've ever written for or edited was sold several times and killed. I got out of the print game in 2013 because it was...

The issue with catering to advertisers first and the subscribers second is that in the end, the content you produce becomes a paid-for, watered-down mess. Do that long enough and you lose the audience and now you have to reduce your ad rates. Its a balancing act but serving the audience first is...

glad they are ok. :)

Not sure. that last event was a very expensive learning experience. lol.

You have a nice, unmolested example of a Rogers Super Cyclone. Its even got the original Rogers air scoop on the carburetor, which is very cool. There's lots of good people here and none more knowledgeable about Rogers boats than Old Rigger. Have fun!

I built a loud boat for a reason...

you have an excellent grasp of the power of social media and how to execute it well.

Most magazines aren't worth more than a glance at. It's sad but true. I still read a shitload of books, though. lol

what does your company do? what was the primary goal of the social media campaign?

I can't wait to do the same with the caddy.

The NRE Mirror Image turbos work well and really do make packaging the turbos hot and cold sides so much better than standard turbos. Havent personally owned an NRE engine before but have met several peeps who have been happy with theirs.

every time I go to Parker or Havasu I grab the white sheet and scan it for old cars and boats. there's hardly any for sale in there now. most every used fb marketplace to sell their toys.
