    Remember when this used to be a .....

    Hot rod OB site?

    You know, before it became another facebook/politico site.
    Cause we need another (bazillionth) site on the same **** the rest are all posting/talking about.

    Why I don’t go on those sites either.

    I just want to read/talk about boats like we used to.

    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    I'm with you and had similar thoughts recently as well. I do FB to keep in touch with a few friends & mainly family, but not for boating etc.
    Screw the politics-!

    NO ONE cares about boat racing, you know the real thing!

    These days It's about LOOKING COOL, FAST

    Wildman knows, put a bow tie on a pig and it sells...

    EGO

    maxed out paint jobs so your instant COOL

    Not everyone wants to run around in a white boat. Whats wrong with going fast and looking good? Could you explain that to me. Not quit sure how to take your example about Wildman putting a bow tie on a pig and it sells. I thought about it, all I can come up with is you are calling Randy's boats pigs. Maybe I miss understood your point.
    Randy has an all white 22 Liberator going out to the Northwest no paint....does that mean the buyer has no ego?

    I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on an intelligent response about yet another "lost in left field" rant ..

    Ifin I were a betting man .. I'd have to go with "hate" and "jealousy" as the top two motivating factors ..

    I think I could spend a wk on a dyno just testing chamber/crown designs!

    LOL , yea that's true. But I gotta admit, these OMC guru inspired billet chambers made incredible power, just didn't compress the water I shoved up thru the exhaust very well ...

    Is there a slight taper to the squish band?
    And is piston crown flat?

    IMO, I can’t see doing much better than that.
    Funny about the water too, I fought that on my last project w/a set of carved up heads on it.

    Sorry man, you just have to ride it out.

    Maybe go and build a deck, or a pool with a deck, or something.

    Not like it is hard to get lumber if one is motivated.

    I also miss the times in the past when there were lots of rebuilds and stuff about boat mods too. Still a ton of good info, cool stories, photos etc. here and real good people too. It might be time to just remove the political section. With the crazy political world we are in there is no use arguing about it. I decided a while back not to post in it any further. I am in favor in it going away. It just divides us. Lock it or whatever....Let's just focus on the good things about our performance boats community.

    There also used to be a plethora of knowledge on here, but some really good guys stopped posting due to all the bashing that happened, some really good guys, while other members who were not very good/ honest businessmen got to stay ( Eagle one comes to mind)

    Wed night at Tanner park - I live nowhere close to it, but loved getting on here on Thursday to read all the great/ funny comments - Phastboat comes to mind, as does P22 - I would laugh out load at the stories from those guys and all the back and forth - 90% was all in good nature/ fun.

    I too miss the way it used to be.

    Gents S&F is awesome! I enjoy this site more and more and keep learning and dreaming and buying parts and hulls. Having a total blast here! I don’t think it’s quite fair at all to blame S&F for the modern day political climate.

    guys it’s nuts simple. Today’s thoughts become tomorrow’s reality. Think and focus on good things and good times and tomorrow that’s exactly what ye shall have.
