It's impressive, but I think I liked it better the way it was. I'd rather
see my $1200 go into aluminum and stainless steel than slick graphics and
flashy animation. I'd rather think that my drive was put together by some
curmudgeon in greasy coveralls than a pack of Abercrombie and Fitch models,
if you know what I mean.

Aw come on, Joe, get with the times! If I had looked at
http://www.fourwinns.com/ for my new boat but it looked like
http://davidfiedler.com/boating.htm instead, I certainly wouldn't have
though them a professional company. Good companies should have good
websites, there's nothing wrong with that. I liked it! Hopefully I won't
need one of their products anytime soon though! (knock on fiberglass)

Would I be riding around in a 27 year old boat if I wanted to "get with the
times?" Seriously, SEI's original site looked professional, neither
amateurish nor excessively flashy. The new one looks a little like the promo
site for a movie or video game or something. I think all that flash might
put off someone who's just looking for a good deal on a drive. Bear in mind,
of course, that my marketing skills are one of the reasons that I have the
aforementioned boat instead of a shiny new Four Winns ...

LOL ok, well trust me, it's 2004, and that kind of site is a good thing
