I understand some people are Perfect. Well they think they are. I have made mistakes as has Sam. I have learned from those mistakes and grown as a human being. Sam made good on his deal and as learned from it. He is currently just listening. I would hope some people could acknowledge that fact.

Never claimed to be perfect, but I have a little history here and there as a Mod. And although I will not bet against the kid if I had the last 10 or so times Sam had "learned his lesson" I could have made some nice scratch. :lolhit:

I guess time will tell.

I've been on here awhile and it is extremly informative. Owned a few boats (20 - 27') so there are alot of people/boats WAY out of my league but I love fast boats so that's why I'm here. Sure there are big egos/drama and wanna be's but it sure is entertaining at times. I'm not going anywhere y'all keep bickering and criticising and I'll keep reading, smiling, and rolling my eyes. OBTW Talon 25s are great single engine boats for lakes even though mine has outboards.

He has benefited from the same thing I stated, I think most member WANT to have younger guys on the board learning and even interacting, but games and poser posting are not tolerable. We spent a TON of time on him over at Serious and he is not my problem over here. And trust me when I tell you I know EXACTLY what I am talking about.

Well, at least Poker Run388 hasn't started sending us threatening PM's yet Ted, unlike a certain "SAM" used to do.

Hey SVL-Warlock, some of us know WAY more about little Sam than you think.
I pity the mods here for having to deal with him as I KNOW exactly what a pain in the arse he is.
The whole point here is trying to convince PR388 NOT to become another Sam. Understand now?

I'm not a fan of the pod boats for bigger water and singles dont really work all that well on a true tunnel. If you're stuck on having a single and will be boating in rougher water, consider a vee IMO.

As I understand it, the centerpod is to protect the drive from damage by water rushing through the tunnel.

I got slapped down a couple times doing what 388 is doing now. The thing is I was mature enough to realize I was wrong, and I stopped commenting on things I knew very little about. I didn't stop asking questions, but I stopped trying to sound like an authority when I wasn't.
