So probably a sub-30 foot boat has no business being here? Thanks, will never affiliate myself with TOPPS.

Congrates on your new boat. You can tie up with us anytime, if you don't mind hanging with us cruiser people.

Are all the powerboaters here already? Seems every weeks theres a new dude with a question about his sub 29'`s single 454 (mostly in tech) .
This place is getting less and less "offshore".
Whats next? " Bass boat tech" or " ballast tank tech" ??
Not sure what a Crown whatever is but it doesn`t sound Offshore ..sorry.. I do like my Crown Black thou.
I need me some big motor big blower tech/discussion

I can tell you where a lot of the over 29' multi-engine boats went. The bank repo lots.

Welcome to the new economy. People are downsizing, and buying what they can afford, instead of what they use to be able to finance.. You don't need 29'+ to go offshore. You just have to pick your days more carefully.

Maybe we should change the name of this site to Anyboat Only...
Two birds sitting on a perch. One says to the other-"I smell fish" get it?

Well if your boat is under 29 inches, maybe you should be on R/CBoatsonly.com....?????

I never mentioned length. 24' Sonic, 23' Formula, and so on.... Maybe you feel a little inadequete. Don't bother submitting an application.

HAHA! You guys are funny! I can only imagine how much bird **** you gather in your snout as you cruise around in your 'big bad offshore rigs" with your noses in the air! I had a 225LPX Crownline before my current boat. Loved that boat, I just got infected by the dreaded 2(or 10)ft itis as well. If you are thinking just cause you have an "offshore" boat, you're something special, maybe your missing something in your underwear!!! OP, enjoy your boat! Sounds like a nice find. Pay no attention to the "offshore" snobs, we don't.
