Least "bashed" boat
 

So, what is the least bashed boat out there? I read so many people bashing this boat or that, I think we all know who WINS that category :)

However, what boat manufacturer is the LEAST "bashed" or referred to in a negative manner? And why do you think that particular one?

Mark

the first one i think of that hasen't been bashed much is Outerlimits :cool: don't know why either, they must build one hell of a boat :D

I would have to say the boat brands from the Havasu area. I not saying anything bad about them.Just nobody in my neck of the woods really knows much about them. I did not know anything about them until I was turned on to Magic and then went out there for a vist.

Nobody rags on Sonic. Not yet anyhow.

I don't think I've ever seen Skater, Active Thunder, or Outerlimits (except for price) bashed. I guess it's because they're doing something right.

I don't bash anyones boat. No matter how much of a peice of chit it is. ;) :D

Bashing someone's boat is like being invited into someone's home for dinner and telling them that despite the hours of sweating over the stove, their dinner sucked. Not a nice thing to do.

Watch it Mark.......

I think I where this is going and I don't think it smells very good..... :p :p

Na, Shor, this is not an elaborate scheme to get you. And, I don't bash your boat because of what it is, but because it's fun to mess with ya. You sent me a pic, and it's a nice boat. But, we don't want your head getting too big about it. LOL!

The main reason is, it seems like there is too much negativity around, with people saying this boat sucks or that, and you can't even read a post about Reggie without someone saying a negative comment. So, just asking what boat is the least bashed, maybe turn things the other way...That's all.

Not saying I'm innocent, either. I can find something wrong with anything, but it's harder to find good in everything it seems these days.

Never heard anybody bash my 99 Robalo fishing boat. :D :D :D

Mike

Yeah, or my Glastron.

But my other boat is probably the second most bashed brand on this board. Right behind 32Fevers brand. :rolleyes:

Nobody rags on Cigarette or Skater or Sunsation

I find it hard to believe - but I was told that everybody did not like chocolate. And because of that somebody invented Strawberry.

I guess that is like boats.

I have not found one I did not like, just some I liked better than others.

They bash beaks, but they are #3 in the boats for sale section behind Baja and Cig.

I see that Greenspan has put out some warnings and now a lot of people are jumping on the " market has outpaced growth" wagon.

Boats may get cheaper yet. I hope so right after I sell mine :D

Boatbashers are sick :mad:

:p :p :p Dingys :p :p :p


joey :D

I think the higher dollar boats get bashed less, because there are less of them out there for people to really get an opinion of them, but then again, it may be because they are better.

Who says money can't buy you love! :D

Yep, It gets personal since its most likly someones number#1 toy getting bashed.
Boat Bashing is good in one way...makes for some great boat racing between each other.
Anybody want to Race me in my "non rough water" -3foot Fountain?
:D

I'll race your azz Mark! Just make it on calm water and give me a head start. :D

All time least bashed has to be Skater. There is a can't do wrong boat. You never hear "Skaters are nice, but it's no bayliner".

Alright see that....Way to go jackass......somebody had to do it.......

Might as well be you.... :mad: :mad: :mad:

just think about it like this gasm.. yours it better then a snail bote and a little faster :p :p

I have yet to be slammed about my Rinker.Not sure if it's jealousy or sympathy that saved me(or maybe everybody here is nice enough not to pick on the easy targets such as us handicapped guys) :D :D

Rinker Stinker.... :p

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to throw one shor's way :D :D :D

i agree with most of the other comments here. boat bashing should only be done in good humor. as long as you can get out on the water and hang out with friends, who gives a **** what you drive. :) i'm shure if we could all afford that 42 Outerlimits we would have it. ;)

Nothing wrong with Rinkers. Friend has a 232 cuddy. Nice ride, huge cockpit. Just needs more speed.

i have seen every boat getted ragged on. Whether it be because of biuld quality price jealousy or what have you they all have been ragged on.

I don't think any boat deserves ''bashing'' for iooks, speed or anything else I have met a lot of good people in not so nice boats, but as long as they float and have big fenders when they want to tie up thats fine by me. Bashers are ussally arogant *******s, Who needs them to bring you down while kicking back on the water? :p :p

Its not often you hear Apache gettin razzed.. :cool:

or Magnum Marine

apaches are to big and handle rough water too well!!!! Magnums are too old and are to much of a "true" offshore boat :p


Just Kiddin!!!!
if it floats and is somehow mobile, its cool in my book. Might not fit my tastes (like that stupid 12' hobie cat conversion with the wierd pod and outboard from the 50s on ebay). I even liek a few salboats. Performance offshore rigs are cooler though. :D

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :mad: :mad: :mad:

rtaylor:speaking of being invited over to to someones for a meal and insulting it-I was invited to my fiances' parents place for dinner. The dinner was chicken cattiatory (noodles with chunks of chicken on top.)Anyways I finished mine and the future father in law still had about 6 large pieces of the boneless chicken left and he started to offer it to me. I said no thank-you. He got louder, I said no thnak-you.He kept on bugging me to eat some of his chicken from his plate. This was in front of the whole family-he finally said it enough that I had ahd it with this badgering and said loudly"Frank(his name), your forcing me to tell the truth-I don't want any more chicken because its too dry okay!"
Future mother-in-law gets up and goes to kitchen and starts to cry. It was silent in the house. I went in and tried to hug her and she just about took my head off!
10 minutes later we were all sitting down again and I said if she had anything to say about it to get it out now(I know the in-laws hold on to **** like that forever). She said she was ok with it.
Anyways, 1.5 yrs later, I'm still with her daughter and whenver there is a family fight they seem to bring up the"well, YOU didn't have to tell our Mom that her chicken was dry-that really hurt her feelings you know1" Yeah, apparently it did cuz you guys are STILL bringing it up!
footnote-the reason fatherinlaw wanted to give away his chicken was becuase it was too dry for him and he didn't have the balls to tell her. He was also laughing at me when I got physically assaulted by the dry chicken cooker of a motherinlaw.
Would I do it again-Hellya!

On topic:
I wouldn't bash anyones boat because I bought a piece of **** thinking it was the coolest thing.I got it to the shop and started to work on it some,some more, and more and soon found out it had to be stripped down to bare hull to replace rotten floor,seats,seat frames,new paint,guages.
Anyways,my visions of chicks,beer and boating stayed in my head all summer long as I spent that summer in the shop redoing the entire boat to finally launch it in November!
If I se a boat now, no matter what it is, I look for the workmanship or that special touch the owner has added aqnd usually give a compliment whenever I can.

I wont bash anyone ride. After last year me getting bashed all the time for my Baja 272 i bought a boat that i thought would be better for my image but it turned out to need more work then my other boat. But now that it's all done minus paint we will see who has the nerve to bash me. I think it should all be keep fun and games. If you got to bash someone its because your not happy with your boat, and you really want thier boat. :eek: :eek: :D :D
