I was brought up on the Power Squadron.

But what they really mean could be a telltale sign of which used boat to buy, or not to buy. Oooh, the clean sweeps and crisp lines of those boats. Such style! But hull design is not just a matter of style. Well, they do it because a deep-V hull is seaworthy but slow, and a flat-bottom is fast but flakey. Finding a blend of seaworthiness and speed has become a tantalizing challenge for some builders.

The Hull Truth is a free interactive forum. It is the first largest boating, sailing, fishing, all things marine life forum on the web. The forum cuts across everything there is to know about life on the sea, including buying and selling boats, fishing, marine electronics, and a host of other related topics. The hull truth website began on the 21st of February as a substitute to Saltwater Sportsman magazine internet forums. The need for a substitute forum emerged when most forums on Saltwater Sportsman were getting withheld as the advertisers in the magazine did not like the effects of an open forum as they discussed issues affecting their boats or products. Although the website has been sold to Internet Brands Inc. As the Hull Truth has grown to such astronomical levels over the past years, I have come to realize that the forum may not be operating to its full potential with only the resources of me and my wife at the helm. What began as a part-time commitment has grown to over 70 plus hours per week, with no relief in sight. Therefore, after 6 years, I feel what is now best for the forum is the professional assistance from a larger, fully staffed company.

It is a little rough at THT for sure. But I can understand why some folks don't like them. Or, better yet, get over it. A very common sort of thread is written by guys who feel good if they don't spend top dollar but still get a "good deal. I scratched off part of the gel coat only to discover a Bayliner hull under the Grady Creme gel coat! Like and any form, there are a select few that just search for confrontation. Maybe they could enforce the standards better too. You have one chance to make a first impression, and if that impression is that you or your peers are elitist, then you will likely never get asked a second question.

Donatus's father became the head of the Hesse-Cassel line on the death of his own father, Landgrave Philipp in Donatus directs the Hessische Hausstiftung Foundation of the House of Hesse , a foundation see below established to curate and showcase the cultural heritage and history of the House of Hesse , [6] a dynasty which ruled the Electorate of Hesse -Cassel until , the Grand Duchy of Hesse and by Rhine until , and whose male-line antecedents and co-lateral ties include the Protestant leader Philip the Magnanimous , the Swedish king Frederick I , Russia's last tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna , the exiled Spanish queen Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg , and Britain's last viceroy of India, the assassinated Louis, Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Donatus also manages Prinz von Hessen , a winery specializing in production of varietal vintages on his 45 hectare vineyard.

Most of the used ones are 30 years old. Fishtales Well-Known Member. Click to expand Are folks really like that? My father and mother both taught classes two nights a week, my father was the Commander of the Watchung branch for a while. Maybe its because I am a happy Grady owner, but I don't notice this same issue coming up with other brands. I see the same sort of thing on the forum in discussions of various brands of high end pistols. It always ends hatefully, and it happens over and over again. My biggest frustration was getting all excited and thinking I'd found "the one", then paying to have a surveyor go out and inspect the boat to have them tell me the floor is spongy or that there was a lot of water intrusion on the moisture reader. I'm sure there are some really knowledgeable, helpful boaters on the other site, and on the water, but it's a chore to weed through the chaff. Human nature, being what it is, causes a lot of folks to want to justify their decisions. I'm happy to say that he was very receptive to the criticism and went on to take several of the "power squadron" courses as per my suggestion The experience and wealth of knowledge is remarkable and I feel fortunate to have been welcomed into the group.
