No one gives a shit about what organizational mechanism allowed this to happen. The fact remains that we have someone who is on probation for a safe sport violation on the board.

@lpskier

You asked what my complaint is? Are you kidding? We put someone on the board who is currently on probation for a safe sport violation and who apparently escaped a lifetime ban because of legal technicalities and expensive lawyers.

I am considering burning my membership card and spending time with people who have some integrity.

@lpskier

Have you carefully read the Washington Post article?

It is hard to read this and just move on like nothing happened.

@Ed_Johnson Have you carefully read the Washington Post article?

@bigtex2011 Punching a girl is what he was punished for but not why people are so uncomfortable with him.

Like nothing happened

Long time lurker first time poster. I will also vote for the '02! I bought (OB)'s '02 when he upgraded his club boat to an '08 with zero off. I think OB still misses my boat sometimes. To me the "early" '02 boats are the best of both worlds, you get the TSC2 hull with the gt40 engine. The TSC2 hull is virtually the same hull as the TSC3 hull which ran all the way through the '09 My previous boat was a '90 Ski Nautique so the '02 is light years ahead for me. The only downside with the '02 is the digital gauge setup. You can replace the digital gauges with analog gauges for a reasonable price. Like others have said, I don't think you will be disappointed with the year models that you are considering.

Good luck,

Matt
