How hard can it be Hot Boat?.....

The first changes you will see wil be in the Nov/Dec issue, the majority of the changes will be in the Jan issues on.
Good or bad? We will see, but I think any change will be an improvement.

.....it still says Larry Flint is the publisher...are we to assume Flint Productions does not own the mag anymore (or did he ever?)
I hope the new owner produces more than 100 pages per issue...this month has 99 pages...I would think coming off another boating season there would be more "stuff" inside....maybe their reporters cant find any "boat stuff" to write about, I guess between the West Coast and our East Coast HB buds, there just arn't any more boats to write about!
Looks like we need to start submitting our own "Readers Reads" along with the "Readers Rides" to help them fill their magazine. On the other hand..I did get a cool "glow in the dark" T shirt

You need to know about boats to catch proofreading changes...
Sorry but the Mag is so one dimensional now....you can skim it in 10 minutes...same advertisements, no innovation...the hot boat section in the back was a great addition and I always like the tests....but the rest just seems like advertising...and very canned layout.

Agreed...
It reads more like a "sponser" magazine that are handed out at race events.
...........and 10 minutes is about right...

For all of you "insiders" in the know. Would you be so kind as to share your wealth of info to those of us still in the dark?
A. Who are these new owners?
B. Is the editorial staff going to change or just the ownership.
C. Are we finally going to get some good coverage of watercraft that the average person can afford like Bayliners and Seadoos? (just joking)
