Thumbs down Maybe just rename this section?

Instead of General Discussion , Change it to Matt Trulio articles.

I disagree, look at the dates on the original postings and you will notice 2014, 2018........people are bringing Matt's posts back to the top.

Matt is bringing content to a place that badly needs it. I don't care about racing but plenty of people here do so Matt did a story on that recently. TNT is redoing an Apache and a 50 Cig, that is cool and I was glad to see the pics/read the story. Do you think Johnny T is going to log on to talk about a couple boat redos? New builds are nice to see, especially if it is a new model or if an existing member gets a new ride. The WMF Cig story was great though I don't believe for a second that WMF will not improve that 42X sooner or later.

Researched content from someone using complete sentences is good.

Just like anything else if you don't like it don't look! Speed on the Water brings a lot to the table, from the industry side that you may never hear about.

The first owner left it stored on a lift next to a busy overpass (US1 Boca Raton) and I thought for sure it was going to get sun beaten/worn. Glad that first owner sold it to the guy before WMF!

Phil still has it on his website as the opening background, yeah its good looking for sure.

Didn’t IB take the speed on the water articles down from the home page back in the beginning of covid expecting a big slow down?

98% of mine have no replies, and I like Matt put up new material everyday. If you don't like it its very simple don't look, there are plenty of threads that I don't read, and Ive been on this page from the very start.

I look at all Speed on the Water, if it is something I am not interested in I simply hit the back button, no problem and takes little time. SOTW delivers a lot of info. As far as Pete's photo...I look at all of them, specially on Tuesday. LOL
