Pros: Not many.
Cons: Too many realestate adds, only focused on a very small corner of the boating community.

"The same old information. Cookie cutter type boat reviews. never a bad thing to say about them, since the manuf. advertise in the mag. i will cancel my sub."

Pros: Like the Sport
Cons: Poor photography, too west coast. Where's the Offshore??

"WEAK photography.
Articles mostly centered around Nautical Inn and Arizona.
Ok for regional based magazine but presented as
national magazine. Photography weak and not necessary
well written. Has too many real estate ads."
