Sea-Doo GTI vs. GTX

Cal Coon · 01-18-2020, 12:27 PM

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.

Are you trying to give dramatic irony a bad name?

It would seem no matter what I say will be "example number 3", so, (if you must), go ahead and get the last word in...

Some people will post anything just to keep a thread going. Let this one die already!

If it makes you feel better, I've decided on the GTX.

Sooo...Mantus won't work, at least in my budget. They only make the collapsible one in stainless, which is approaching $200.

And, actually, my wife already bought me a collapsible grapple anchor--I was just needling TiltonBB.

If you keep this up, nobody’s going to any more questions you might post on new threads.
