Thanks RG

best Regards:)

Thanks RG,
I personnally don't put alot of stock in the magazine awards, after all they have to be careful who they might tick off. I think Fountain has had a boat receive an award every year which doesn't surprise me when you see how many Fountain ads are plastered all over PB. I can't comment one way or another on Fountains the point is they aren't an unbiased source for fair evaluation. My opinion!

:confused: SKATER isn't there at all??? :confused: Alot must depend on the advertising dollars...:(

Sharkey ...
I had the same thought .... amoung others ....
but went about my biz.....
thinking ... I'm just a girl that doesn't know any better....:rolleyes: :p

I say the OSO family should hold there own awards. Here you know you will get an honest inbiased opinion.;) :D :D :D
