SCFW was a fantastic event. Reminded me of the old
days when big Jim ran it and we’d do the lunch runs to havasu springs on Friday. Poker run Saturday. Great times. Chill.

Par for the course. I find speedonwater seems like they just rehash press releases. No follow ups. No hard questions. No rocking the boat.

Granted they are in a no win situation. Readers would love it, but access to builders (content) etc would probably be diminished.

Regarding press release-based stories, you are incorrect. Less than 3 percent of the 1,000-plus stories we publish annually are based on press releases. The rest is original reporting.

That's not opinion. It's fact. Trust me, I do most of the writing. :)

What's more, we rewrite every release we get—publishing them verbatim is a Journalism 101 no-no—and cut what (in my view) is pure fluff. Quite often, as you will see later today, we do separate interviews to add information not found in the release.

As for the rest, you are completely entitled to your opinion. Of course, I don't share it but that's what makes things fun, right? Cheers.

Whether something is "meh" or not is a matter of opinion. The "reveal" aspect in the headline and story came from an interview I did with one of the Nor-Tech principals.

For the record, I spent a day in that boat, the outboard-powered 420 Monte Carlo, https://www.speedonthewater.com/quic...0-monte-carlo/, and I didn't find it meh. And I've been fortunate to spend time in a lot of cool boats.

But meh is in the eye of the beholder, wouldn't you say? :) Cheers.

a bit of knowledge here you ck and adjust or calibrate a radar gun with small tuning forks that have different speed stamped on them you also are supposed to be straight with the object your radaring i think its 10 or more degrees and its not accurate

You are 100 percent correct. I cannot tell you how many times I used those tuning forks with Stalker guns at Powerboat magazine. Every morning when we started, any time we had shut it down because a battery went dead or the readings gon wonky.
