Waterski Mag Boat Buyers Guide - VERY disappointed

[AbunDiga909]

I got my copy too... just eye candy, bar graphs in top left are cool too though....

i'm so sick of seeing that one shot of the new 210 speeding w/ the guy sitting in the middle of the back "bench," and the one w/ the 211 beached and the fam playing with the little toy nautique... these shots are so OLD already! i dont even need to read the mag b/c i know what shots are gonna be there!!! i prob. dont even need to go to the boat show next week b/c they might just have HUGE *** banners of those two shots...

It has been about ten years ago, or more, but in the boat test then they actually did have at least one pontoon boat pulling a barefooter, saying that was an adequate boat boat for rec waterskiing. "See, we got a professional barefooter behind it" Did you notice the extra Malibu ads in the Malibu boat test section? Did you notice the extra Mastercraft ads? Remember, there are companies that spend a lot of money on promotion, and that money is not available to put into thier boats. Do you really want to pay for all that ad copy when you buy a "M" boat? Do you want to pay for a huge factory team? Do you want to pay for the exclusive rights to put your boat conpany's name on as many tournaments as is possible? Yes, I know some promotion has to be done in this modern world, but think about where that money actually comes from.

Just thought I would let you know that the guy sitting in the back seat of that boat is Greg Meloon............

"Also in this line" just doesn't cut it.

Thats cool.. i wish they made that clearer--i never met him i dont knwo what he looks like... I'm not making fun of the person, just the lack of shots and how the same ones are used repeatedly throughout everything... I want to see some diversity..

Dont you guys go out in June or so with the new boats for the photo shoots and take dozens of shots of each boat, some maybe from a chopper?

How about the MC add about setting the world record 1.5@43. You have to like that.

More like January. Sanger, and Supreme do their shoots in my neighborhood. My wife has been in their brochures a few times. The girls freeze their butts off because they want them in bikinis looking like it's the middle of summer, when in reality is in the low 50s. On the positive side, the water is glassy, and there aren't many boats to disturb the pics. BKH

well we know thats not an issue for CC... hah

that still seems pretty early... I just guessed that time b/c I remember talking to a guy from MC who said they were doing the photo shoot around then...

This is the first time I remember Wakeboarding Mag doing a boat review.

They did the reviews the past few years. Like you said they are just pretty pic's with no review.

Did anyone see the CSX 220 from MC. Not to offend the Fish Nautique owners, but that thing doesn't seem like a wake or crossover boat. How many boats models does MC have anyway? Too many!
