I saw and read the posts, and I thought to myself yea right. Now I have spent quite a number of years in the marine industry and have owned and run and sold a huge number of jet boats. I have seen it all the good, bad, and the ugly. And let me tell you there is most definitely the bad and the ugly in the jet boat world. Well I had the opportunity to talk to Kevin Turner on a couple of occasions and I was truly impressed with the knowledge he has for a guy from Missouri (no offense Kevin, but that’s not traditional jetboat country) Not only does Mr. Turner know his stuff, but he has allied himself with some of the biggest names in the world of high performance jetboats. And I am talking about people who built their reputation on boats that can corner so hard that you can feel your internal organs bouncing around in your body cavity. Boats that can run thru Class 3 whitewater at over 100mph, and when they leave the river at that speed and pileup in the rocks and trees the hulls remain intact (quite dented but intact). The RiverPro hulls are built as strong and tough as is possible. This combined with an engine/jet package offering a tremendous hp to weight ratio, equals a package that should be quick and nimble unlike a prop boat can ever dream of. Now as a long time marine sales manager, licensed captain, and pro guide, I can be a picky SOB when it comes to boats. But I will certainly be taking a good hard look at a RiverPro the next time I am in the market for a boat. Now if you do not enjoy exhilaration, adrenaline, exploration, having all the fish to yourself and an unparalleled feeling of freedom and adventure, then do not, I repeat DO NOT ever go for a ride in a RiverPro. Because you will instantly become hooked, and you may never be same again (although that may very well be a good thing).
I really don't care about that.
Sad to say the best chance of a championship at the moment in this state is the Twolves.
Used to be such the fan, but the NBA lost me with the pick and roll.
But I'll watch come playoff time.
If KAT can't play worth a darn , the playoff run won't last long.
I thought I couldn’t dislike Glenn Taylor any more than I already did until today:
Glen Taylor with @ChadHartmanShow when asked if the reason for this happening is because the franchise might be worth double what he was selling it for:
"Partly so, yes. I have a responsibility to those who have been on this ride for the last 40 years."
Sellers remorse for sure but too bad for him the deal was inked 3 years ago. Hopefully the league has a way to arbitrate so it doesn’t go to court, but we will see.
