I'll go out on a limb and say he probably is. If you've ever been on one of the boats that Bill has built all you have to do is look at the attention given to every detail and you'll know immediately how proud he is of his boats....but I'm pretty sure that's not what you were refering to.

this ***-for-tat has less to do with Judge and more with the fact that I have openly been support of the MSSA initiative to reduce the commercial rockfish allocation in the Cheaspeake Bay.. Unfortunately There has been a poor attempt to try to coorelate the trailering of a 27 Chesapeake with commercial poaching on the bay.

For Further clarrification on the side issue here, The Judge 27 Chesapeake is 100% legally trailerable on Maryland highways with the exception of a few roads where the max width is stated to be 96", such as the harbor tunnel. Please see page 86 under the SHA Motor carrier handbook here: http://www.sha.maryland.gov/OOTS/mot...erhandbook.pdf
(Even awnings on travel trailers are exclusive of the 102" as long as they do not extend more than 6" for a total of 9'.) If any Judge 27 owners would like a copy of the confirming email I received from the State Hwy Admin, please send me an email at bfaithfulfishing@yahoo.com I have printed out a copy of page 85 of the handbook and a copy of the email and will carry them in the truck should an issue ever arise.

To try to state that the mentality of someone towing a legal load on maryland highways is the same as someone who knowingly steals tens of thousands of dollars in fish from our natural resources is plain silly.

Bill does have a lot to be proud of. He builds a fantastic boat and has been fortunate enough to sell a few boats in this trying economy.

Ya' know, I was wondering about that. Seems that somebody has a beef and will throw it around wherever they can. God bless the muscles that the internet helps provide people.

And I love that the forum censors the wor "t i t" ......

From my perspective, the Judge Yachts and MSSA connection is quite clear on this forum. I would also state that they throw around more "internet muscle" than anyone else on CBAngler.

When you are the "face" for a company, especially in sales, what you say and do in public is always associated with the company you represent whether you like it or not. I don't think it's just the stance on the commercial rockfish allocation, it's your constant, repetitious stances on the same old things. The same topics that arise over and over again, in the exact same post on this board as on Tidalfish. So the redundency grinds on people who read both boards exponentionally. I'm sure you are a great guy, and I'm sure you do a good job for Mr. Judge or he would not keep you around, but at some point, the law of diminshing returns will take place, or already has, and your soapbox speeches, constant campaigning for an MSSA leadership position, or me first mentality is going to drive people away from judge rather than draw them to it. At this point, you will do more harm than good for the small, local boatbuilder, no matter how great a boat he makes.

Regarding reading the threads or not, many would probably not choose to read them, but in not reading them, as Blakesdad put it, you might miss one helluva fun ride before the massive train wreck. And who wants to be left off the invite to that party?
