Found this
hilarious post over at the
Reel-Time Forum. While some of the prose is a little over my head b/c of the Northeastern and New England lingo and references, his observations seem dead on to this Florida native.
Classic Aquasport and Mako owners should be honored that we're ranked second only behind the grizzled charter captain in boating intelligence:
The old Makos and Aquasport crowd. Definitely know what they are doing, can field-strip a balky Evinrude in a twelve foot sea while jigging for bass at the Rose and Crown. Knows that panty hose makes a good replacement for a blown engine belt. Has commercial striper license. Do their own repairs, build their own rods. Boats have homemade livewells. PVC is favorite thing in life. Owners know all sorts of tricks to do with eels – like microwave them and spray them with WD-40. Doesn’t bother naming the boat, has his FCC radio license and call letters: “Whiskey Mike Ninety-Four Twelve switching to Channel 22”
