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.

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.
