Jumping Ship

Yes,it was a beeper#. I left my # after the beeps,3 hours ago,no call back. Got back on their website to try again,got as far as checkout, then it said problem with my credit card,but did not specify the problem,or a way to address the problem,and no way to contact them.Pretty poor marketing,as I really want to subscribe and will keep working till I do. But if the casual subscriber has this much trouble,he will just forget it,and let it go. I have Eric Colby's cell #,I will call him later. Thanks,Robert

Keep in mind they are 3 hrs behind, as their office is in Las Vegas. If you dont have any luck tomorrow call me, I will get you through to the right people.

MFloat I've contacted Chris via email about the online problem to make him aware something is amiss. Please let me know if it is not fixed soon and I will update this thread as well. We certainly don't want people having problems subscribing.

Brownie welcome... I do some blog writing and photo work too for the mag as well as moderate and admin the pb forum. Good to see you onboard. :)
 
They have been doing some good stuff

We have done a few things for them and they have been great to work with

Congrats Brownie! We are looking forward to reading your articles in PB soon.

CD and his staff are great people and they are the real deal!

When will your first article appear in the mag?

Thanks to Pete B,I'm in.Just got a call from a very nice lady(Michelle) in their office,I'm all set on subscription,plus a free T-shirt and back issue. They are working on a website glitch.The phone # posted was wrong,it is 702-313-1400. Let's support this mag,with Eric Colby,Brownie,and just realized,Pete B's photos,got to be worth more than $25/year. Thanks,Pete B.
 
YEA! HB went way downhill when they switched over. I will get the new sub. Where did Kevin land? The first letter from the new Ed at HB said she knew alot about boats because her dad had one. funny stuff. I will miss reader rides. Thanks for the heads up. best of luck daddyo.

Glad I could help, and hope you enjoy the magazine.

What is the deal here, you just get me reading again period...... and now I have to be retrained to go over to another magazine.

Tell them to just bind up your stories and send those out once a year to the subscribers, that will take care of the subscription problem.....everyone will want one then.

Let's hear the real old stories about you and Noah.

Good luck, it will be great as usual!!!
 
I also switched over and will be writing articles for Performance Boats Magazine. My first article comes out in the January issue. I am going to be doing more articles on projects that we are in the process of doing in my shop.
 
All of us at Performance Boats are thrilled to have Brownie and Tyler Crockett as valuable additions to our team. Welcome aboard!!! We all look forward to a wonderful year ahead.

Too bad we couldn't get one of these boat magazines to publish just one page per issue of some of the great old racing shots we have on hand.

No charge to the magazine....just give HORBA the credit for the photo and the info we could provide to go along with it.

They do something like this in the Formula 1 magazine, just one page of an old photo and then they explain, what race it was, who was racing in that era, the types of engines used etc.

The modern boats of today came about because of the boats that were tried and tested many years ago, at least remember the origins.

Chris' screen name is King Creole (he is a serious Elvis fan). Send him a PM and I'm sure he will steer you in the right direction.
