I lurked for months before I actually joined so unknown to me the site had probably just started. I didnt think it was my place to join as it seemed an exclusive West Coast Socal site where you needed a real badazz boat to join....it seemed 90% of the people had Cigs with twin blower motors..Jefffrey, Nort, Dman, River Girl, Blonde Cig Chick....they were def the core of the site.....I remember I spoke to Audiofn in chat one night (who was also a core member but east coast) and I could not believe he wasnt an old friend of any of the core members.....he had met everyone on the site. wow, that was an eye opener!
I remember I finally had the nerve to join when I saw a guy in the Formula forum that had a twin sbc boat, cant remember his name but he ordered that twin sbc 28 AT that he sold to Spillman....we talked back and forth, nice guy.....its his fault.
Who was that guy from Florida with the "Bayliner Cobra" he was funny as hell.....did anybody ever meet that guy? was the Bayliner thing just a joke and he had some killer boat???

Although I didn't order my 28 AT new, I did buy it used directly from Pat, and I believe Spillman's was one of the other few made. To the best of my knowledge, that boat went to CA via the fellow I sold it to from Ocala, FL, only to be sold once again, whereabouts unknown.
I remember the old OSO quite well, and met many members back in the day. There was a large group from western MI, nearly as large as those from CA. Those were fun times.

This site rocks! Joined when I had a PQ 28, and have been thru a few boats. The friendships I have made with many on here are priceless.

So where's Jeffrey been?
You guys have a few years on me (in this contest anyway), but thinking back over all the funny sh!t, con artist/scum bags (cough Too Old, cough Troutly, etc), and all the Apache BS over the years, I can certainly say OSO has been countless hours (thank goodness Dave!) of nothing but good times!!!

Jafo, BillR, Glassdave,
Good to see you guys are still around. Met a lot of nice people on OSO!! From all over the world, pretty cool! TY OSO!
Bill, they just auctioned off the PQ plant contents. I remember taking some pics of your 340 for you.. Those were the days!
Many more years to everyone!!

October 2000 was a "re-boot" date for the site. Anyone with that join date could have signed up for earlier versions of the board. I'm pretty sure that I signed up some time in late 1997/early 1998. A lot of good, bad, ugly and wacky has gone on since then....
