:eek: Holy $hit !!! :eek: Who got sleeper dave's pannies tied in a knot??? :rolleyes: Dude, take a chill pill, just figure it into the cost of boating. The money you could save from the knowledge here on this forum, could end up saving you thousands in the future.

It's only $.86 a week, way cheaper than any magazine you could buy.

well said glassdave. different people, different priorities. I've emailed pics to people before that couldn't see them. Not a problem. I have posted a pic or two in my time.


Now back to the topic. what's the story on the beaching? That looks like a LONG way to have gone w/o water underneath. And the drives are up. Was he trimming them up as he was slidding on the sand to get more distance? :)
That is a 2001 38' Lightning w/575's. I looked at that boat last year when it was for sale. That picture is somewhere between Destin, FL. and Orange Beach, AL. on the Intracoastal. More than likely the boat was running WOT (86-87mph) when it hit the sand bar

A lot of guys seem to have a problem with others making money - why give away what you can sell? There are other sites that give access to everything for free just bare in mind they do not hold a candle to OSO

Yep, kinda figured it had to be. But by looking at the surrounding elevation, I assumed the water was shallow way before the sand and the boat would have beached itself before even hitting the beach.

You'd think improving content for all users of this site, paying and not, would increase traffic and ultimately increase value for advertisers, and thus advertising revenue. I know I'd spend a lot more time here and actually read a lot more of the forums if I could just see the pictures. In doing so i'd be exposed to much more advertising...
I don't think someone that won't pay $45 a year membership is exactly in the demographics the advertisers are trying to attact.
