I agree a lot of their boat tests are done on boats the average guy couldn't possibly afford, 500 - 1 mil range. Just look in our boats forum, the majority of threads are in Baja, formula, fountain, sonic, and then look how many nor-tech and O.L. have, they show what most of us are driving.

I will buy it off the newstand when I know there is something inside worth reading about. I don't expect that will happen much too often.

"The error really was that innocent. But sold out? It's just not true. Was it a good choice for our audience? No. Was it a mistake? Absolutely, but that's all it was. Not a conspiracy. Not a sellout." Bret Becker writes.
You people will use that as your rallying cry forever. If you're that pissed about Manatee zones, wage battle against those tree hugging fools, not one of the few publications that showcases our noisy (to some) gas guzzling boats that we love so much. Get over it already.
