Still up and running but not much reason for it any longer.
Last few weeks the only new posts are spammers selling rc toys.
Nobody must monitor it at all, somehow it slips through and stays.
Still a few posts from 4 wins liberator and powerplay xlt fans.

the proverbial fork, sticks in

I think social media happened. Lots of boards have lost their luster when facebook took off. It is good to see that OSO still has some activity. I am just getting back into boating myself but I have always tried to keep an eye on Speedwake over the years. I've met alot of awesome people at Speedwake and here at OSO.

Social Media may have contributed some. But not as much as JJ. Shot himself in the foot too many times. IMHO

You forgot one more: boats.com. I started working for them in early 2000 (still do as a contributor). They launched that summer, just after the dotcom bubble burst.

They're still around and, in fact, doing really well.
