Chris Davidson ran Hot Boat for like twenty years. He hired his brother Darren to help out. While Chris was at Graceland (he's a big Elvis fan) Darren arranged some financial backing and bought Hot Boat from LFP and fired Chris!

Chris then started Performance Boats and the website which is way better than the Hot Boat site was. Darren is no longer affiliated with Hot Boat. I guess what goes around comes around. I thought Darren was a decent guy but screwing your brother over is pretty bad.
Chris has put together a pretty impressive staff and it seems to be growing every day as is the website/forum.
I really like their online magazine and I think that is the wave (pun intended!) of the future for the magazine industry.
