 Hatred toward other engines
I really havent been following the site for as long as some but the back and forth bitching is actually good stuff. I have ran older inline mudboats with wisconsin engines, long tails, hyperdrive and now PD and soon to be Sport V. Where does all the bickering come from. Of course GT and PD owners are bias. Both will get you to the hole and back. Some slower or faster, some with FPR or instant. But the hatred of MB and GD is crazy. can someone with a NON BIAS answer comment on why this is. They all have a 35 or 36 B&S engine, with different ways to get the power to the prop. Is it management, customer support etc.

 Re: Hatred toward other engines
Would you like me to stop by your house and explain it? It is really a long story and I don't feel like typing it all out.

 Re: Hatred toward other engines
long read but very informative. So basically all the bitching is not about the product, but the non R&D stealing of ideas and back stabbing, that has a bad taste in the mouths of us La boys.

 Re: Hatred toward other engines
That is what I gathered. That thread was entertaining if nothing else.

 Re: Hatred toward other engines
Intellectual property claims, antics on the internet that got very nasty, libal suits, different levels of business success, and some people's inability to move on (on both sides).

 Re: Hatred toward other engines
And yet another reason why MB is hated.. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28957Situations such as this are proof perfect for our failure to "move on."

 Re: Hatred toward other engines
I love the guys who run MBs. If they had PDs, they'd be real competition for the places I can go!
