Well, received my first ever issue of BOATING to replace Powerboat Magazine. What a breath of fresh air

.
Boat Tests I got to read;
SeaRay 410 Sundancer
Beneteau GT 34
Nauticstar 203 SC
Stingray 195RX
Chris-Craft Corsair 22
Seaway 18 Sportsman
Outstanding tests everyone. I can't wait to go buy one and take it to a major poker run....
And, my favorite saying in the magazine. Could have come right out of the mouth of our friends Jason Johnson or Bob Teague

#11 in their boat buying important decision making requirements.
"
SPEED
Top speed is only for bragging rights. According to the ICOMIA (International Council of MArine Industry Associations), the average boater only runs flat out 6 percent of the time. We spend 40 percent of the time at idle and another 40 percent of the time at cruising speeds. You're actually paying upfront for power you'll rarely need, plus lugging around extra weight that's killing economy-and maybe even your top speed."
:ack2::ack2::ack2:
Don't you just love it? I'm gonna go order a 46 Cig with a 28 pound thrust electric trolling motor. Should be the perfect boat according to BOATING.....
The good news, if everybody did it, no one would brag about top speed. Or would they????:huh:
