Thanks’ Kurt, always have enjoyed your posts. Good reminder.
We have seen it all on here since the beginning ................ There are only a handful of buzz kills on the site, but it has dramatically changed over the years from the original fledgling bulletin board before '02 to the 'NEW' site in the 2000's when it was fun and informative here, fast forward to the now big commercial site with IB ................ Oh Well ......................... A Safe, Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year to everyone !

Fixed it for you. We understand that their is not much else that Florida can brag about

Wanna bet???

yes its changed alot, i rarely get on here, but my sons are always on here. as i get older these younger guys that are magazine mechanics always put there 2cents in, or the super money guys who couldnt tell the diff between the fuel fill neck, and the fresh water neck, just send it to so and so to have them change the air filter cause they dont know how, and winter really brings out the CREEPS 3 or 4 post and theyve stired up more crap than some in 1000post

Michigan was the number 1 boating state for many years. It's sad what has happened to our state. Anyway, I will stick around for the Great Lakes where if the unthinkable happens, nothing will eat you, you can drink the water, eventually you will hit shore and there is no salt to rot our expensive toys! There are plenty of winter activities too but lately mine has been mainly cutting and splitting firewood!

In my younger days before I was married I was stalked a few times by chicks, but never by a dude, some people are just naturally unhappy people, if I was that unhappy I would change what made me unhappy instead of *****in about it, but that's the easy way, back to the "less negativity part of this thread" thanks for the great comments.

Maybe wants to smell my undies............lol

I believe some folks are just jealous of many of you all. Others are frustrated that even when you have money you still have to have some knowledge to go along with it.

I'll give my 2 cents...

I spend a lot of time here reading the archives way more than the stuff that has been posted since I joined. I'm more interested in the technical stuff (setups, drive heights/set-back on hulls, power/drive combos, etc) with results than the shooting of BS. I wish more people would spend more time offering info than posting "nice boat" or post whoring. It's actually a serious pain in the ass to findIformation on here the way the search engine works and I've had to spend days wading through pages to get to one post that answers my question. I spent a long time street racing before getting back into boating so I'm used to the ****-talking but it's starting to infect all the decent threads on this message board.

What kills me about this site is the wealth of experience/knowledge of the members on here that hasn't gotten posted. I'd love to read threads on here started by flight club, lubejobs, gatorone, tborisch, etc about the boats they've built/upgraded and how they performed without reading through 12 pages of people commenting. The "meat and potatoes" if you will of boat performance.

" I'd love to read threads on here started by flight club, lubejobs, gatorone, tborisch, etc about the boats they've built/upgraded and how they performed"

That's a good Idea, I would love to read about and see picks of their boats, and the events they go to.

I really enjoy reading the threads that tell me about a great poker run, or a boating place that I would someday like to visit, or a about the pros and cons of one brand of boat vs another (not bashing) just peoples opinion about what they like or don't like about a particular model or brand.

I live in a small town with very few performance boats so I visit this site everyday and would really miss this site and the people on it if it didn't exist. Yes sometimes a post or even a poster will get me a little fired up but then I just say to my self "what a d**kh**d" and ignore the post or comment. Just as some of you are doing right now while reading my comment
