misconception- what a boat length actually is.................

Overheard at a recent race in "discussion" between DQ'd racer & CD....

"But I had 3 boats lengths when I passed him, he must have drove up my roostertail!"

CD's reply was "3 feet is NOT 3 boat lengths!"

In general...

The words "Coming Soon"  What does Coming soon mean? A week? A month? 5 years?

If you don't have it, don't advertise it!

From a chat board browser’s view ….
Stretching the truth to outright lies. There are some very unscrupulous people trying to pass off their stuff as world class competition designs.

Big pet peeve when I see hype on a website about how great something they are trying to sell you is.

E-bay  adds are famous for this. Makes no difference if you are an individual, or a business.

From a designer/ manufacturer/ dealer standpoint.....

Just who is really a full time business, and who is simply a part time guy looking to pay for his own hobby.

The Internet is famous for making Sunday afternoon hackers look like world class designers.

FYI There are only about 7-8 full time model boat manufacturers in North America.

If your designs are not distributed through one of the big names, you are a small fish trying to look big!

From a retail sellers perspective….

“ I am going to buy one of those someday” 

If I had a dollar for everyone that called or e-mailed that said they were going to buy something, I would never have to work again. Truth is, most of the stuff you want, you will never buy, so please don’t waste other people’s valuable time telling us you will.

In general...

The words "Coming Soon"  What does Coming soon mean? A week? A month? 5 years?

If you don't have it, don't advertise it!

[Preston_Hall]

Help - As in I will "help" you.

9 times out of 10 after you tell them when, where, how, who, how much, and then basically demonstrate the whole idea. Could have done it myself faster.

 

[Joe_Knesek]

Model boating is a cheap hobby!

 

[Norm Doerr]

"You should have been there. It went five miles an hour faster." ...after hearing this 20 times the thing should be going almost 200 MPH.

Then when you show up to run... and beat the guy in the speed dept.

" Oh I think the fuel is bad......the radio is messed up.....it needs new bearings....ever since I let so in so work on it...I dunked it before you got here and messed something up in the engine"

And the list goes on and on.

Or my all time favorite is the guy who says he is running 80 MPH....then when you show up with a radar gun he has to go home because the wife is expecting him ,(even though she is out of town). B)
