Havasu Hangin proof reads it,
I think this is the worse issue they have ever produced. Someone should get fired behind this.......

I think the editing was the worst, but the articles seem to be getting a little better to me. Still has a long way to go to be a decent mag though.

I think they use the editors from Hustler, another Flynt publication, and NOBODY ever reads the articles there... LOL :hammerhea

I agree that the content has really improved. It is definitely going in the right direction, but the editor/proofreaders are sometimes asleep at the helm.... :messedup:
I am enjoying the tech articles, and DIY stuff as well as the reviews. It is nice to know that not every single boat that comes out is perfect. At least now they mention areas that could be improved on some of the boats.
I really don't care too much about the east coast racing of all the crazy fast and high priced boats, but some people must like it.

I just got mine on 1/19, with a half cover and torn pages. I started reading the reviews and kept doing double takes. 25' Temor walk thru????? Sure looks like a 29 Magnitude to me. It would be nice if they put more average joe happenings in it. More Havasu, Parker, Needles etc pics in there.

If HH proof reads HB, then there would never be an Eliminator mentioned. :rolleyes:

Got mine yesterday. Finally got to see the errors y'all were talking about ha ha ha.
I'm bummed cause I saw in the issue a survey where the first ten people returning it got a "cool" HB jacket. I guess only 10,000 have returned it by the time i got my issue. :cry: :cry:

I got my issue yesterday also, and it made me laugh about the jacket giveaway. I wonder what 10 friends of the ***boat staff got their issues first. :sqeyes:

Got mine last week...how about that article on changing a tire without a jack...on Interstate 10 near Barstow! Hmmmm.....I though I-15 went through Barstow...hahahahaha...........
Yeah the walk through Tremor article with photos of the Magnitude (written on the side of the boat). That was pretty funny as well.
Come on guys...hire someone who can proof read.

Do you really think it's a proof read problem or could it be that the newbe inturns couldn't tell the difference between a jet and an I/O?? :rolleyes: :idea:

This has become much worse over the past few months. I'm not sure how much responsibility lands on the editor and how much the writer should take.
I sure the hell would be embarrassed if I had an editor come to me with some of the stuff that is written. :rolleyes:

I agree....The content is improving.......
I can see screwing up a bit when it comes to a boat size, but that whole thing on the 25' Tremor....What a mess.....How can you print all those pix, even the pix of the 377 Scorpion and then write all over the place about a 496 ?? WTF....
Someone there should be half as passionate about boating as WE all are...
For GOD's sake, put a bit ore passion into it.....
Someone should get their ass kicked for the Tremor piece alone....
Sorry....I just hate mediocrity......
C'mon Finnegan....Raise ther bar !!!! :hammerhea
