It was a dig at Fountain. I'm glad they can self-proclaim their own prestige...because powerboat has little.

Comprehend?

salesmanship

Powerboat tested our 39 V this year.
36 cat's the two previous.

Sure, I'm just returning the favor to the Fountain bashers.

You guys love to dish it out...........

It's no fun if you don't.

For the record, I wasn't bashing Fountain. I was bashing powerboat mag.

Its smart of reggie to throw so much money at that mag. It reads like a brochure.

I did read all the articles. I still feel you should have got the Offshore Customer Satisfaction most bling for the buck Catamaran of the year award between 36-38. (See I Made You A Catagory), this way MTI could keep the 42. Who judges these boats, and picks the winners, Bob Teague. I just see alot of west coast boats. To me it appears the demographics of the magazine is on a slight down hill slide, along with some of the latest articles.

Now how about OFFSHORE VBOTTOM WORKMANSHIP. 39 cig.
Great boat, by my standards, but what the hell, at $846,208.00. (AND DONT TELL ME YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, I HAD A 2000 single step Top Gun) Do I get a driver everytime I hop in it, or even better get a free detail when I bring it back in. Thats 200k more than even an OL or better yet 400k more than a 39 Nortech. My point is what are you getting for the coin. Does dollars dictate a win here I will make a new catagory for the 39v class, in addition to the one mentioned (Outstanding Value V-Bottom as good as the rest that we can also throw in a 39 Center console for the same price) I apologize for my rambling Jeff

You have to wonder if some of those 4 page spreads are worth the expense. Anything over two pages seems like overkill to me.

Jassman

I agree. Does any one know what a 1/4, 1/2, or full page cost. JEFF

I believe 1/2 page full color is about 5k a month. at least thats what I heard from a mutual friend of ours the other day
