Don't tempt me--you know how hard it is for me to not start five new threads just to piss people off?! "New Jetski Fuel Choice Advice Wanted," "New Jetski Anchor Advice Wanted," "New Jetski Maintenance Advice Wanted," "New..." Well, you get the idea!

I'm confident the moderator is less concerned about my superfluous threads than forum members being jerks to fellow forum members.

I look forward to your responses on my "best way to launch a new jetski" thread.

Honestly Think, if you have to ask these questions, something is (seriously) wrong, or, am I to think that you are just messing around... I hope for your sake, it's the latter.

Me Thinks that Think is simply a TROLL. He posts these never ending questions to get his jolly's , if he can get you to roll your eyes he has accomplished his mission. A less (pardon the pun) clever variant of FLL.

Not at all--as you can see from the people who actually responded to my questions (in all the threads), what I'm asking isn't unreasonable. I got great Christmas gift ideas, some info on how to choose...well, a whole lot of info.

Now, why you'd take time out of your day to not only read a post you have nothing to offer on AND respond is sad. Go make some friends.

I guess you are just to smart for me Think, (hence your name). I'm just not in your league, so I will quit responding to these (STUPID) posts before I embarrass myself... Good luck with your purchase. And to "think", (how ironic), that he is teaching our kids. All I can say is "WOW"...

Actually, no. Everyone coming here to make comments like yours is embarrassing themselves.

Once you attack an OP's professional craft because you personally think a few threads are too many, you've shown who you are.


And for those actually looking for info, I just found the attached Facebook post of the different hull designs for 2020. They look awfully close...Name:  Screenshot_20200118-103711_Facebook.jpg

Without mentioning any names, or insinuating anything to anyone, I refer back to a couple of my favorite old cliche's that I have always thought to be true: "Some people are just to stupid to realize just how stupid they are", and "You can only help those who are willing to help themselves". Oh, and here's another one: "If the shoe fit's, wear it"!! Cliche's are like good comedy. There is always an element of truth to them... That's why they exist.

You seem a decent person. When you sink to the level of your detractors (as in posts 65,66 &70), you ARE embarrassing yourself.

Start all the threads you want!

Good luck with your purchase.

There's a fine line between "sinking to" and "playing with." I've always tried to joke around with critical posts, but people don't always see that.

It's really disappointing that it's even an issue--that three threads over the course of 3-4 months on different aspects of a sizable investment--is that inflammatory.

Thanks again to those who provided food for thought. As the image I posted above shows, there's lots of talk about the new hulls.

Honestly, give the guy a break. I know of no rule that says you need to read everything or limit new threads to things that haven't been discussed before. I'll admit, when Thinkxingu came out with his latest string I thought "jeez, weren't the others enough". I'd already contributed some thoughts to his prior inquiries and decided I didn't have anything else to say. So, I've stayed quiet and, come to find out, as an ardent jet-skier myself, I'm still enjoying the commentary. Steer clear if you have no interest.

Besides, he has T-rex arms. How would you like to have T-rex arms?

Hey, I'm the reason you signed up, remember?!

I just re-read your post and actually missed the GTX part of it because it was only mentioned once. Thanks for your thoughts.

As far as my T-Rex arms, I'll remember that when you need me to bench press a lot of weight once or twice!
