This new June 06 issue is just chocked full of beautiful Hot Boats !!!
Looks like more color pages also!
But there is some pertinent info missing from some articles!
Not to pick on Bob Brown but.......
1. Bob Brown's "First Impression" article on the new American built "Cougar" on Page 68:
Great layout, excellent gel design and nice report but, but, but, Who is building the boat in the US ??? It says nowhere. No company, No boat builder's name, no city, NOTHING! My first impression is that they either stole the molds, or edited it out the info, or completely left proof-reading to a non-***boater! What gives HB?
2. Bob Brown's "Full Tilt Skiers" Page 44:
The Cyclone 191, The Warpath Avila (Cyclone?), and the 2 Formula 2 boats seemed very interesting and I would really hope some future feature articles would transpire describing them. These are truly the state of the art in Ski Racing's "small (hot) boats" !!!

Maybe they didn't pay for the "featured" spot??
Oprah has people on all the time, but there's always mention of an article, mention of a book, mention of where to buy, etc. I think you gotta pay for the plugs like that.

That layout is across 2 pages and hard to scan.
Pick up the June mag. It's really quite good!!

Nobody even mentioned the problem I was referencing, nor will I point it out now. Upon further examination, I can see that my embarrassment was probably an overreaction. Sorry about the other oversights we made.
