Dave,
for a yankee you sure know how to show some true southern hospitality. I could not agree more with your accessment of others on this board. I appreciate this site and most of our members. However, sometimes I feel like others "rush to judge" or even run their mouth about things in which they have no clue. I have met many friends on here and in person in which I hold high regard in our sport but none more than Mark and Tommie Terry. They and those like them (including yourself) are the reason so many of us are true to the brand. It's not just the "true v" logo but the "true friendship" logo that holds us tight.

I hear what you are saying Jason, I have been lucky enough to have joined Mark and Tommie on a few runs and have never had anything but a great experience. The trip to Jacksonville to this day is my favorite Poker Run experience and that was in large part due to Mark and Tommie showing us around and making us feel included.
These forums are just a way to introduce like minded boaters to each other. People take them way too serious at times. The real experience starts when we all actually get together at boating events and really get to know the person behind the screen. I am thankfull to have had those opportunities. Even as a boat whore.
Some favorites from the past.
"Dock" getting a little Atlantic air
"The Guys" at Jax
Brand War at Tennessee River Rally

Mark,
You guys are always welcome here in Austin! I am also one of the people that Mark introduced to Poker Runs and we were lucky enough to meet them at Jacksonville a few years ago. They have also stayed with us a couple of time during the Poker Run here in Austin. Two better people you will never meet. Baja and the boating community has certainly lost a couple of great people.
Come see us Mark and Tommie, our house is your house!

I agree Matt sounds like someone that has a agenda for sure...
I couldn't agree more Jason. Mark has given more to the sport and the brand than anyone I know. He's attended numerous Poker Runs and events and always been proud of the Baja name. It's a sad day for sure, but he has definately left his mark in the performance boating world..
What saddens me more is that people that are keyboard cowboys have the balls to sit and badmouth someone that has done more for the sport than they can even think about doing and know nothing about the person that they are badmouthing. Damn shame and I will get off my soapbox now..
You have a ride on my boat anytime you want it Mark just say the word...It's a open invitation..Your a class act in my book and anyone that says anything less doesn't know you.

Agree with all, definitely a bad day in the Boating community, especially the Baja community.
Great people to the sport. I have learned more from talking to you on here, and reading what you have posted than anyone has ever shown me.
The boys from the North welcome you any time you and Tommie choose to venture this way!!! Plenty of boats, with plenty of open seats, hell plenty of open sticks and wheels too!!!
Agreed with other MSD, Delete or edit that post. Very uncalled for, very immature.

Guys it has been like an addiction or sickness. I don't know how to explain it but at this time we are going to step back from boating and focus on family.
It really kills me to have to sell it and not get a chance to enjoy it after all this time but we must.
Please tell your friends and pass the word.
Thank you
Mark

Mark's 36 is an incredible rig. No doubt the nicest one out there. It has gotten the best of the best and is being worked on by some very talented people for sure !!!
Hopefully things will change quickly for the good and he will get to enjoy the labors of his love for his Baja.
Thanks Mark !!!!!!

Dave is not a real Yankee, he just plays one on TV.

The trip to Jacksonville to this day is my favorite Poker Run experience and that was in large part due to Mark and Tommie showing us around and making us feel included.
