    And that's fair statement to quote with proper context. Moreover; I would argue the water is what we gauge upon. Most everything else is narrative for entertainment purpose with a sprinkle of history and cool innovative engineering...

    I still beleive this is a good site though. I remember before I came on here someone told me about a new scream and fly magazine that came out, I went to the bookstore and looked for it not realizing it was an internet site. LOL

    I belong to FB boating groups out of ease... I agree with you Greg they do coexist fine however there is no doubt it steals some traffic from this site. One thing I can say for sure is you have always been involved closely with posts and keeping the threads as positive as possible. Scream and Fly is still my go to place for the best pictures, event info, tech questions for the highly knowledgeable members on here. I think you've done a great job staying on top of the site all these years.

    Its also important to note saturation rates vs market growth. Peak internet happened a while back now so new fish jumping in the boat left and right simply due to transitioning into online use has long passed prime date. The tech resource here and board membership experience level.... holy moly talk about top shelf! Thats what makes a good site imo as I am a tech focused type and seems that almost everyone else here is too. So while a lot of forums dont get traffic like they used to for reasons above we also have to look at available time to spend online. Most people already spend borderline too much time plugged into something digital so competing for that huge market with a shrinking window of free time also puts big dent in post counts on literally everything.

    FB and the like are trying to be a one and done but we all know a pocket multi tool is handy, but useless for heavy lifting. Thats where the forums shine, plus the market place is always a good thing. Anyways its nice to also be in the same place as other enthusiasts without all the tire kicking clowns who dont know lefty loosey flooding threads with blabber. Enjoying this forum a lot so far, found a lot through search and already have a solid game plan for upgrading this hydrostream

    I realize that Facebook definitely offers unique ways to interact with people, but of course, so does this site.

    Facebook does make many things easy. Making this site as easy to do things such as posting photos and videos from any device is a priority. I've been adding incremental upgrades to the site over the last few months, but the site will receive a major update this season. The home page will also be vastly improved.

    For anybody that has not seen the future roadmap for the Scream And Fly site, click here.

    Above everything, I want to express my tremendous appreciation for the support from all of you. Without you, there is no way at all that this site could be here, let alone update and maintain it. I'm very thankful.

    Well the last Top secret project has been tested a proven. And it has done everything I had expected. I have applied for a patent (Pat-Pending) so we can now plan on how to proceed in producing them for the 20, 15 & 12" off shore style mids. I say we even offer it to the 3L guys with the Taylor style Mids.

    The comments after the last two races were immediate, "What the hell did you do different to that motor from last year?"
    "WOW that thing has its own signature unlike any other"
    "That boat is WAY faster than last year by far!! What the hell did you do"
    "That thing just speaks NASTY"
    Just to mention a few.

    As I told you in the beginning I have only shared this project with three other people outside of you and me 1 being my crew Chief Doug. Not even Mikey or George knows anything about it. But Now is the time to let the cat out of the bag so to speak .

    Could be, maybe not. But Engineers have been trying to figure out how to get by the Exhaust exit Problem on V6 mercury engines for years. Even to this extent.

    Some years ago, a dirt bike magazine replaced a 250 cc bike's expansion chamber with a straight pipe and dynod it. The power was literally cut in half. I would love to see how an outboard would perform with a properly designed expansion chamber.
