Only thing I suppose is different is that the VENDORS pay to keep those sites up and running properly. It's not like the people here don't pump enough money into the vendors and advertisers on this, right?

As far as it being "thier" business, I'm inclined to believe that if this site went away there would be three others to fill the void, all with vendors ready to send advertising money to get the captive audience.
Didn't mean to be offensive. Just thought we should all help to support the site.

Jeff, I can understand the air-voids where they are since the mold must be a biotch to lay-up in those areas.

Easy fix and non-structural.
I agree, all the items could be easily addressed. It is just how it was handled or can be handled from this point forward. No individule is perfect, and some times between a customer items get lost in the translation of the transaction. As well as sometimes a manufacture just plain drops the ball...there are always 2 sides to a story. It appears by the poster and posters friend who sent the pics that the majority has been taken care of, and hopefully they can come to some agreement on the balance of items. Jeff

The 30-50 bucks a year is cheap for everything you get here. I don't get single magazine, all the info I need and for the most part porn is here on.

There is more than pictures on a payed membership.

You're probably right. I just think of it as MORE of a business, less of a community. Meaning, with all the talk of specific products, brands and vendors, their contributions should more than cover the expenses to run this site & software.

Nah, I live about 5 miles from there. I boat mostly on the Sassafras though, we usually dump in at either Anchor or run all the way down to Stemmers Run (public ramp).

I'm still boating on "the cheap" we got into a boat we could afford to get with cash, now wishing we had taken the plunge and gotten a 38' or so.

I moved up from an 87 Mastercraft (you may have seen me buzzing around the bridges down there) that we had for several years to a Chaparral Villain IV (30').

Wife got tired of being beat to death on the ski boat, we got into something with a nicer ride that could take the chop and realized we are like sardines in the thing trying to overnight on it.

As far as Tomes, my Mom owned a unit in the Condos, her and her husband are friendly with Jack (and formerly Bob too). I recently looked at a 42 Fountain that will be for sale there in the spring, a guy from PA also, (last name Sullivan, you may know him?).

Anyway, in short, you don't know me, but I'm a Downingtown native, so I'm from up around your way.

(And)

I've only stuck my beak in this thread because I aspire to be a Black Thunder owner some day. No, this hasn't deterred me.
