i'll also add that the people at these events are a hell of lot more friendly
and much better tuned in to our equiptment
500 miles to one of our events pulling my 1200 lb stv than my 10,000 lb ocean express
i guess most osoers have enough class not to go over to your beloved scream and fly site and try to rude out its members!

I honestly could care less what they do, but if they were really professionals, they would be wearing life jackets. In Ohio, we call people like that drunks!

Re: And you thought you where nutz???? gotta see this one
excuse me! i carry myself as well as anyone,i raced the offshore circuit for 6 years and yes there is great guys involved it just seems that a few uppity type people that dont wrench on their own boat seem to think they know it all and their some sort of gods gift..i just upgraded my outdrives to 1:50's last week and thats about the only thing on the build i wasnt working on myself,only cuz i dont have the special tools,
ive built many of outboards and their not that hard and you dont have to be the contortionist to work on..as far as safety eqiptment goes ,you got me on that one but its in the boat, the wheelie contest was a very short run in front of the hotel with many helpers standing by ,but it was still not the best idea of the day
all i was saying is if you dont what your talking about maybe you shouldnt make judgements

come on guys, we are all adults here and we are all boaters, let's not act like this. Copier Cat I agree there are some douche bags in off shore boating but there are some great guys, some from this site have become very good friends, same with scream and fly.

I agree that anyone in a high performance boat should wear a lifejacket at all times, but I question why a moderator would make inflamatory comments towards another group of high performance boaters.The last thing we need to do is become divided.

Maybe you should keep in mind that everyones boat has it's perfect water and these boats are small, not made for big water. Don't get all pissed off just because a river rocket can wax you on the river....that's what they are made for. I guess you tuck your tail in and run toward the lake when you're on the river???
What's up with that?
That's a rediculous comment and even more dissapointing to see it come from a moderator.
