I have an account because they told us work that it helps internet search hits to our website.I don't know how it works.
I COULDN'T
care less about it though. I do look at comments on youtube videos and am also just amazed at the stupidity. It's one thing to be ignorant, it's another to show it to the world!
I think it is an indication of our society and lack of humility. Everyone thinks they know everything about anything and is quick to let you know. The worst thing about people like that is that they never learn anything because they think they already know. I don't waste my time with them.

That powerboat swap shop is not that bad for selling stuff , sold my boat in 2 weeks off that place. You have to remember that most of society has facebook now so it gets a lot of traffic.

Proving—at least to me—isn't all bad, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...er-down-rising.
As in everything, there is more crap than quality in social media outlets from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram to Tumblr to Snapchat. And I mean a lot.
At least these guys are contributing something positive. Hats off to George Tobin and Rodney Olson.
From a marketing perspective, I can tell say without hesitation that speedonthewater.com's Facebook page is an incredible referral traffic driver for speedonthewater.com. For better or worse—and based on this thread I'd say the consensus here is worse—Facebook appears to be eroding some interest in message boards and communities. I find that interesting, because Facebook is an interface nightmare for threaded discussions.
If it makes anyone feel any better, there are plenty of people where I live—roughly 20 miles from the offices of Facebook—who believe Facebook is yesterday's news.

It's a 1963 (&1/2). In mid year '63 they came out with the sport roof for better air flow (before that they had the box top. like T-Birds) as well as the 427 (up from 406). It's a 427 500XL, 4 speed car. '64's are very similar with same roof line but front/back ends are different and sides are a bit different. I like the '64's too but prefer the cleaner lines of the '63.5.

One thing I have noted and it is referenced in the subject line ... time and and time again on this message board I have read posts in which a self-appointed surveyor/dealer/appraiser/buyer/seller declares/contradicts/confirms/expands the value of a boat for sale. In short, opinions on such issues are as prevalent in message board communities as they are on Facebook. It isn't new ... it's just a newer platform for voicing opinion.
In the end, a boat is worth what it sells for. Speculation one way or another is only that. Sometimes accurate, sometimes not.
