Old school is anything existing when we had 9 planets

Old School from a racers point of view is.......when all of. our cell phones had dials.

I would say anything pre 1990.

I thought the only thing in boating that was old school was a flat deck, nothing else counts.

Consider my Chris Cat old school. The molds are in their second (third?) generation of owners and still made!!!

Old School is having your boat on a Target Trailer.

I think " old school " depends on your age.

Meaning boats you were enamored with as a kid or a young man.

I'm 46, I viewed most of 1970's from a perspective of less than 4' from the ground. Everything I thought was huge all looks much smaller from the 6'4" view of today. Hence the boats from the 70's & 80's appeal to me the most because I feel like the 10 year old kid again every time I see them and remember when nothing could be cooler than a 27 Mag or a 29' Mirage or a 250 Nova.

So if there is a 36 yo guy he looks at things from the 80's much different than I do. Whatever the case I would say " old school " is the ability of a boat you remember loving as a kid making you feel the same way again today....whatever your age.

This thread proves that there is still a lot of " old school " fans that like seeing the things that others look at as ancient and obsolete.

I think old school is a boat that you can trouble shoot your engines & electrical problems with a voltmeter, test light & vacuum gauge,, no laptop computers. :party-smiley-004:

I think anything 25 years and older would be old school .
