True story . . . back in the late 80's for one of my final classes at CSUFullerton I got an internship at HotBoat. I always dreamed of working for Dirt Bike or MXA but this was as close as I was going to get. First they told me to write up a review of a hydraulic jack plate. WTF is that I say. Here's the brochure on it, that's all you need they tell me. OK next thing you know I turn it into 3 pages of technical sounding BS and it goes to print as gospel. Then they tell me to review a bunch of different parasails. Cool lets go to Mead or Mojave and check em out. Oooh nooo no money for that they say, just call the mfg's and get some company PR materials and work your magic like you did w/ the jack plate. So again it looks like gospel in the mag but I never even got to touch one of em. I made em all sound like the shizzle but I didn't know sh*t from shine. Hey maybe I ruined Hot Boat. Naw...
Some real nice peeps working there b4 they moved to BevHills tho.
