I've been meaning to ask him about that for a long time now. What's up with that Nort? Did one of the mods push some buttons to mess with you?

It's a long classified Poodle story. :D I'm in the Offshore WP Program. :D :drink: :drink:

Feel free to share in a PM sometime when you're bored.

My other theory had something to do with post content having to be relative for it to count on the clicker. That theory goes out the window with Troutly and his smiley face posts.

You say that like being a federal witness lends you some kind of credibility....

LOL!!!!!!!!! For sure. Smiley post WHORE, and now former convict. :D :D

It's not really OSO WP Program Jacka$$ (and I mean "jacka$$" in a good way). :D :drink:

Actually, it's a bit like the old car odometers. When you go over 99,999, you start over a 0. :D :D

Wrinkled poodle program? I wouldn't advertise that...

Still boatless. But still check everyday.

Dont post much anymore but read some threads every couple days.

Signed in as Brian_41 back when OSO started in early 2000 with dial up and a slow azz computer. Bought a new slightly faster slow azz computer in 2002 and somehow lost my screen name so I had to start all over as brian41.

Charter member,,,,, boy has it changed since 2001

yep,
Still here also, I post alittle, spend more time on the Viper forums these days...

still here just took time off, got to depressed working on the boat. still have to figure out what to do next. and my health not being good putting off 3 more surgeries. just don't think I will see a different with them. I plan on getting pumped up this spring and trying something else on the boat.

I wish you the best in your recovery. Take care of yourself!

I'm still here...don't remember how i stumbled onto the board back in 99 but it was very "lively" back then :) i looked forward to logging on to see what was new. Things have changed over the years and mostly for the better...but as with anything else...the bigger it gets the more crowded/opinionated it gets. I just take it all with a grain of salt and try not to let things get me worked up. I mostly just post when i can help people out with something...but i'm here most every day during the week. :)
Best thing about the board is the people i call my friends....some i have never even met face to face, but have spoken to them on the phone or email and even bought/traded/fabricated things for/with them. Gotta love technology! :D

Started my addiction back in 2000 or thereabouts as "Budman", but like others, lost that handle somehow and had to go with "Budman II". BTW, has nothing to do with THAT kind of bud, or even the kind you drink - "Budman" was the nickname of my first labradore, "Buddy".

Still have the same old beat up Baja, and hold the record for the longest 489 Chevy build in OSO history. :D

Sure OSO has changed, but just being a kid myself, I can adapt.

Still check in once a week or so. I posted a lot more back then, but it seems those offshore stories don't hold much interest anymore.

It is what it is, good to see some of the old names still alive....everything else is secondary.

Yep I guess you can call me old too!

I've met a bunch of great people on here over the years.

I like pie.




What were we discussing ?

Funny, after 14 years no one has actually measured the overall length of a Fountain.

Proud dad of 14 and 10 year olds, so I spend more time assisting with homework and other parental "duties". Still a proud member of OSO and will be for a long time. Met Steve and crew way when during my racing days and am proud to say I am a member.

Still check the site often but not as much as I used to. Seen many come and go but there's still quite a few old timers here.

Charlie it's you and the few others that take the time to tell the old war stories that keep me checking in here everyday. Thanks for sharing what you have in the past and please take time to tell a few " back in the days"
when ever you have the time.

Still here, with family, not on the water too much lately. Hoping more next year.

Been here since 2003. Haven't been on a lot this winter but starting to check daily again.

Not so fast, I measured my 8.8 which converts to 28.8728 feet using 3.281 feet per meter. However, when I put a tape from the tip of the bow to the rubrail on the transom, it measures 30' 6", It was NOT a rubber tape measure.





I CALL it a 33 because I added a 2'6" Aluminum Swim Platform on the BACK!

I think I was member number 80.....

FWIW I measured my boat once....from the back of the swim platform to the front of the beak it is 29ft dead on.

You probably measured it with one of those liar fish measuring rullers all you Canadians have in your tackle boxes.

Charter Member #203, been here since the beginning. just post photos for the most part!

Count me in

Yo!!

Still around check in every now and then but I only top out at 34mph now.

LS & company always around.

LS, always enjoyed your son's floating reporter posts. Even better than that, i loved how when a cig in south Florida was sold, he new who the new owner was and what even car the owner drove..... :)
Jr.

Still lurkin after all these years...still have the boat...Vintage now? I should change the name to borrowed time!

I pop in from time to time. No money = no boat for me at the moment, something I hope to correct in the next couple of years.

Still around.

Here!! :)
