Cruising America's Great Loop and other inland routes
View all threadsRe: GL: All magazine Power Boat Reports STINK!
To me, seems like all the boating magazines, give a false report of vessels.
Have you ever read a bad report on a boat? I haven't. According to boating
magazines all NEW power boats are GREAT,. and have no problems.
And just about every time you see a report on a boat, the is a full page add
in the mag for that boat also.
And while I am on the subject, why the hell do the "cruising " magazines do
reports and story's on boats costing millions of $$? Nobody I know cruised on
those mega yachts.
To a T, every cruiser I have ever met, bought and cruises on a used boat,
and older boats. Hell, mine and several other cruisers I know have antique
status on their Fl. Registration because our boats are 30 years or older. Look at
an MTOA conventions, all older trawlers.
I would love to see some magazine do some stories on real cruisers, not the
Norhaven bunch. Who the hell are they?
How about a magazine that does stories on real cruisers?
There, that will be 4 cents please.
See you on the Waterway

There is such a publication for old sailboats called GOOD OLD BOAT. A
trawler version would be a great project for somebody.
