Powerboat Mag refund
 

Well now that powerboat magazine is done, and they are giving us boating magazine for a replacement. I had to write the company to cancel the remainder of my subscription. Got a quick response back from them and yes they are refunding the difference to me. should be here in 4-6 weeks! It sucks they are getting rid of the magazine, even though threw the years it has been getting smaller and smaller. Until a good (performance boating magazine) comes back on the market. Done with Magazines for now!:bsflag:

I got my refund in two weeks and they still keep sending me the crappy magazine.
Found a book by HotRod called Sport Boat at West Marine, like it so far.

agree. whenever I am in West Marine I pick up a sport boat.

Thanks! well check it out. Don't understand how they think boating magazine would be a comparable magazine replacement for a performance mag but O well.

Sportboat will be the way to go

They hired quite a few people that used to be at Powerboat and are putting together a great magazine.

I sent a email 2 weeks ago still no response

I just got an e-mail from Boating magazine this morning......

.......Trying to sell me cigars :angry-smiley-038:

All I know is I haven't taken a decent dump since Powerboat went away.

Does anyone get Poker Runs America magazine? How is it I haven't seen it in years.

No refund yet, no Boat magazine yet, but I did pick up a Sportboat mag good read. I will be subscriber.

I've been picking up Sport Boat at the newstand, and may subscribe. It's too bad about an icon like Powerboat Magazine going out of business, but is not surprising to me. I stopped reading Powerboat years ago. Every boat they had was megabucks, and not affordable to the average or even most above average buyer. That's not the way the magazine use to be. I was wondering how long Powerboat could keep up their megabuck parade, before people got bored. The car magazines know to test a range of cars in various price ranges. Sure, it's fun to read about the super performance cars that I'll never be able to afford, but I'm most interested in cars in my price range. It's even nice to read about the econo cars once in a while. So far Sport Boat seems to provide a range boats at various price points. Let's hope they don't fall into the Powerboat megabuck trap.

I received a Boating magazine a few days ago.

amen to that!

My wife is so pissed. In our half bath I actually put in a shelf and have all my pra, powerboat, performance and a few others. Shes pissed cause she cant put her cleaning chemicals in their I didnt want them next to the toilet cause i didnt want people splashing on them.

Ohh, i did get three issues of boating.. You get the occasional go fast in their

Last night during a monthly boys night out over burgers and beer, I told my friends about this comment. The table completely fell apart.

Thanks for the good laugh. So glad we could be there for you in your times of need.

Not going to happen, that trap. In next issue, you'll find a feature on semi-custom and custom (translation: expensive) center consoles next to a great Jason Johnson article on buying used boats from $10,000 to $60,000. The issue is a ways off from the newsstand, but I think (hope, pray) you'll like it.

Thanks, as always, for your support.

Got my refund this week

Spent a lot of time copy editing pages on the throne myself....TMI?

Suitable place to edit my copy.

Ah, the lives we touched. :)

FABULOUS !!!!!:lolhit::lolhit::lolhit::lolhit:

Thats a good one, L O L !!!!!!

powerboat and throne
 

They could have used a softer paper !

OUCH Sy!

We considered it, but it doesn't hold up in the mail.

refund
 

I called 1 386 597 4388 and they processed it over the phone, said I would have my refund in 7-10 days...

This thread cracks me up and I'll get flamed for this but here goes........

This group of people spends hundreds or thousands of dollars boating every year, run up crazy bar tabs and buy expensive toys, AND worry about getting a $20 refund on a magazine. :drink:

(I know, its a matter of principle, but its still funny!)

its the point of how and what they did, and yes now I'll go throw 300 in the tank

:lolhit::lolhit::lolhit::lolhit::lolhit:

I am so with you on that one !! I burn 20.00 in fuel in a few minutes at full throttle. Just sad that Powerboat went away. At least it appears that we have a nice replacement option.

I sure Bob Nordskog is rolling over in his grave right about now. That magazine and boating was his passion. He did so much for the sport. RIP Bob thanks for all you did.

I heard Playboy is going under and subscriptions will be replaced with Better Homes And Gardens.

:party-smiley-004:

I agree with you totally. I am 46 years old and grew up reading Powerboat Magazine, my late father was a subscriber forever, and I became a subscriber.

I will miss that magazine.

Did receive my check returned since the magazine was cancelled.

Now thats about the same comparison, performance to paddle boats!

Wasn't the money that I wanted back, it was a good magazine to read!

I liked the Boating magazine I just got. It is pretty wide boat coverage, but it had a crazy article about some guys searching out some unchartered bodies of water. Thought that was interesting.
