    Why Discovery doesnt have boats builds up

    Im just sick and tired to watch bikes and cars builds up. Would not be nice to se some boats (with outboards ofcourse). Just for exemple like progression vs tuff, hydrostream vs alison, skater vs liberator. You know guys custom riggin, pait etc .

    WHAT DO YOU GUYS THING.

    Problem is, boats are not generally as universally popular as hot rods or motorcycles. Also, the American Hot Rod and American Chopper shows are also about the "guy drama" - working against ficticious deadlines, shop fights, etc.

    But shows like you said Greg make it more popular and its also a very good advertisment for companys that are involved in building those cars or bikes. And it would be very good for boats too.

    After watching several episodes of American Hot Rod and American Chopper while in exile at my Mom's, I wouldn’t buy a hot rod or chopper from either facility. They seem dysfunctional, perpetually behind and rushing the job to me. Maybe that’s the "drama".


    What we need is American Boat Thunder with Michelle Smith. Yea now that’s the ticket

    If we're going to do a boat build-up..

    Then I'd rather see Leeann Tweeden hosting the show! Talk about a 'full-figured' hottie.............

    Show Idea...

    Identical hulls,

    Guru's from merc like US1, JSRE, mercman, Noah...etc vs the OMC guru's like Monty, stoker...etc

    black motors vs white motors (we can use the yamahas to tow them in if any motors pop- LOL )

    THrow in a Wildman boat trickout vs any other boat customizer (my money is on Wildman)

    Contests:
    drag course, top end, roundy round, Wheelie driveability tested and scored by parker, and finally the coolness/trickout factor will be judged by pulling up to the beach and seeing which boat gets the most chicks in t-backs to lay out on it.

    I would pay to see this show!!!
