[riverrunner]

Anybody else get one sent to them? I've never heard of it before. Got one in the mail yesterday. I know didn't subscribe to it. It looks a lot better than all the others. It actually has something bad to say about every boat tested.

Yea, I got one yesterday too. I liked it a lot. Read quite a bit of the various boat tests. The front said something like $5.95 per copy, but I never subscribed to it.

SPEEDBOAT - LIFE AT FULL THROTTLE
DEBUTS ON NEWSSTANDS JULY 5, 2005
NEW YORK, June 20, 2005 - Wade Luce, vice president/publisher of Boating, today
announced the debut of SpeedBoat - Life At Full Throttle, a publication showcasing highperformance

the latest high-performance boats on the market, along with trends, techniques and new
products. The publication will make its inaugural appearance on newsstands July 5th
with a cover price of $5.99.
“We recognized the need for a premium high-performance marine magazine,” said
Luce. “SpeedBoat targets the core of the high-performance boat market and, with a
circulation of 80,000, it will be the largest performance boating publication in the world.”

high-performance boating publication.
“High-performance boating has always been a passion for many of our readers,” said

[spectras only]

I've got a collection of Boating dating back to late 70's. It will be good competition for Hot boat and family performance that's for sure. No nonsense reporting and unbiased feedbacks/writeups in the past .

Yeah, that's the way this magazine is. They actually had something bad to say about DCB as weel as every other boat tested. They really hammered Eliminator, something you never see anywhere else.
