well that is neat i am 1051

Thanks

Im always amazed at the growth this site has had over the years.

I think I joined OSO in 1999 on the old forum, but when the new forum came out in 2000 I had to rejoin. I think my number is/was #217 or #211 or something like that. I have certainly learned a lot in many ways since then (still learning) and I still recognize a bunch of names from the beginning and have seen a lot of change on OSO in many ways since 1999.

I don't post near as much as I once did. Used to see a lot of carbed versions like the Merc 330, 365Mag, etc, owners who wanted to upgrade, but now that is quickly becoming a thing of the past more and more. As a weekend warrior, tech info and new products are hard to keep up with and the average offshore boater seems to know a little more about what it takes to make a marine engine combination perform well these days than when I first joined. I have enjoyed OSO over the years and it has greatly enhanced my boating experience and I have met several good people on here. God's peace to all.

When I put my mouse over the name I do not get the number.....

Charter Member # 71 and still here...........

Try it over your avatar and its doesnt show on the OSO screen, its farther down on your computer screen. The web address shows and your number is at the end of it ....

......#220.......

I am curious as to how the site changed hands and when and why did that occur? I also want to say this site is soley responsible for my unlimited addiction to HP boating!!!

Rock on OSO!!!!

What number am I? I rolled my mouse over everything and can figure this out.
