hahaha no experience with either subject. laughable. i have little respect for someone who doesnt earn there way to the top. i might act like a complete tool bag every now and again but at least i earn my keep.

dont tell me what little or no experience i have. it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know about a poker run and the fact that i got robbed on the last one. you probably dont care because again you didnt pay for it. i did.

I will say that Justin has some pretty good experience, He hangs in there just fine with the CPBA crew on a regular basis and that says alot, its a nasty crew.

So you knew Angelo the guy that built those boats and ran with them on multiple occasions to say that they're not worth anything? Angelo (RIP) would spank you over and over again in that boat it wouldnt even be funny!! Point two, how many poker runs have you done, paying or not? How many organizations have you participated with and helped plan the poker runs? Just questions that require simple answers. All you have done is be a nay sayer on the whole poker run and now Activators? Before the run you were trying to start crap with Stainless on here who has raced handful's of Skater and won numerous races. Im working my way to the top and I have the best mentor possible in running a vee bottom and his name is Mike Fiore!! I dont give two ****s that im young or come across cocky. Facts are facts. I've never met you and probably will at somepoint and our thoughts of each other may change. All I know is I do this for the love of the sport, not to just drive around and drink on my boat all day.

Dan's a young guy. His father has the same passion and love for performance boating as he does. Not so sure I'm seeing where "earning your keep" has to do with a father and son enjoying their favorite hobby together. Sounds like jealousy to me.

you missed the point completely.

guess it does take a rocket scientist.

Yea ok............whatever bro.

justin let me no when the hayes run is, finally a run i can do with my boat, sometimes i wounder why i joined cpba with all the @3$$ that goes on,

This is why I joined with out it just be boring sh1t

Dan I love your passion for a sport I love too. Your knowledge of the industry is very impressive at any age, but IMO you rub some folks the wrong way when offer up your opinion as fact, I think people feel you come across as "cocky" because the context of your message. I think your good guy and enjoy having you on here and you bring up some interesting points of view, also I know everyone on here comes across abrasive at times especially Justin , and Jeff is as dumba$$ but that's why you all tune in here. I am however looking forward to see what you buy someday as everyone starts somewhere, but until then enjoy the set up you have. For the record my first ride was a 1988 22' Checkmate with a small block alpha set up I was 27 when I bought that.....sometimes I miss it
