The comment I made was made after numerous statements by Steve on numerous threads that were and are ignorant. Here is a guy who has no relevant experience going onto an internet web forum telling the person who laid their $$ out that he has made a mistake with no substantial information to back this statement.

So, I can either let him continue to put out misleading, uninformed information or try to dispel it.

I'm sure it is very irritating to hear the same misinformation over and over, especially from the same person, but I don't recommend stooping to name calling. I think forum sponsors want to rise above that. If a potential customer drops in on one of these threads, without knowing all the background, and they see a forum sponsor engaged in name calling, they are probably going head for the hills. On the other hand, if the sponsor continually puts forth data showing that the misinformation is wrong (turning radius tests, time to turn, whatever), it would actually be good marketing. If the data is compelling enough, pretty soon other people will step in to repeat your data for you, too. Marketing is about repetition.

Michael, you are correct. My statement should have read.... “Steve, aka PokerRun 388” you are making statements which make yourself appear ignorant and uneducated. It might appear better for yourself to refrain from making such statements and misleading comments until you or do yourself a favor and consult someone with actual experience with both the manufacturers which you yourself listed as ideal as well as the Arnesons which you described as “can’t be as good”, or; just do like the rest of us and wait for the results to speak for themselves and then draw a more informed conclusion.

Michael, thank you for bringing this issue to my attention.

Rik

As an innocent bystander, I'd really love to hear why Arneson is the ideal choice for this application and not focus on the validity of someone being a dumb ass.

I'm trying to learn and people asking questions like that (let's pretend it was asked tactfully) is really helpful.

I agree. While I should let the owner of the boat answer why he choose Arneson Surface Drives over the other choices that everyone kept pushing upon him, I can say most likely he went this route because he knew it would work and he knew it would not break. I'll defer to him to answer any further comments.

Anyone know why he is not going to finish it ?

Yea would like to know too. If it is money that sucks and sorry to hear that......
