All the debate and blanket statements make them seem worse than issues likely are. More details would nice. No shame in Goodwin coming out and stating the issues they're working on.
I know we bash merc a lot, but they do real validation and this is when it shows.

There may be a bunch of that going on, but everything I've posted is true. And I've spent a lot of time and money getting boats that I've Rigged with my own two hands to go fast.
The one set of Goodwin engines I'm talking about, were ridiculously expensive, and didn't run for ****.

This is the post you deleted:
"So you have purchased a new boat and made it go fast? Never bought a race boat to go fast? Buying turbines and and a race boat are the easy way out.."
Yes, I've raced hydroplanes in the national modified class, a boat I tuned and drove. Chris Mills and I built with our own hands a bare 48 skater vee bottom that ran better than any vee bottom to come out of the factory, we built and ran the very first pleasure mystic... and it ran great. Every boat I've owned, comes out of my ownership faster than when I bought it.
You don't know me. So know what your saying before you open your mouth. Aren't you the one *****ing about people talking about things they don't know.
Bill Vogels Goodwin engines in Gotcha didn't run for ****.
