Most of you probably don't read Soundings magazine on a regular basis. It doesn't really "cover" the go-fast world, but the editors have been very open to carrying news about the powerboat business and players. When Tom Neale, a "go-slow" boater who lives aboard a sail boat, wrote an article about "Bimbo Barges," I invited him to experience the new generation of powerboating. Tom and his editor, Bill Sisson, were up for the challenge and Tom and his wife Mel, came to the Miami Boat Show Poker Run, hosted by Stu and Jackie Jones and Outerlimits customer, Joe Amoroso. They had a tremendous time and Tom wrote a fantastic article in the June Soundings magazine that is now on its website archives: http://www.soundingsonline.com/ME2/d...67F4EB83021426.

If this link doesn't work, please visit www.soundingspub.com and go to the archive section. You'll see the June issue and will find the article in the Boat Works section, "Sea Savvy, Adjustment to Warp Speed is Nice Surprise."

I'm sure you will all get a kick out of Tom's irony and self-deprecating sense of humor! There is some nice play for Outerlimits and really good coverage of the Poker Run. It's great to see people with open minds bring the good news about the performance boat market to those who may have preconceived notions about "us." I hope you'll visit the website, check out the article and enjoy the chuckles -- I know Tom and Mel enjoyed it! Thanks to them and Bill Sisson for spreading the word on "Warp Speed" to the Soundings readers!

It was a great write up. We get the magazine on a regular basis since our marina deals with every type of boat from Row boats to Performance boats. I do agree that it is nice to see someones perspective change as they enter someone elses world.

Good find.
