Recently informed of this new wealth of History, and what a great read.

No Disrespect to OSO by posting this link , they have offered me a ton of laughs and a wealth of knowledge since I stumbled upon this site 14 years ago.

Be prepared to waste the better part of a day . http://www.***************.com/category/brownies-bites/



While hardly an esteemed or valuable member here , this is the type of crap that led me to not reup , along with the stupid ads at the top of each page

The 3 I need to have sign my Searace book.

More pontoons and wakeboard boats than I knew could ever be dreamed up..

My meaning is the blocked link . This, place could be a treasure trove of info again if they weren't so insecure.

Love the stories but still waiting on something more then "Billy Wishnick fronted me enough money to start Nova Marine" about my little slice of history sitting in my driveway sucking the life out of my retirement savings.

This wasn't just done arbitrarily. It was earned by PBN. When they went live we(OSO/IB) were sure that we could get along well and everybody would benefit. Then Brad went against some people's advice and took shot after shot at this site for not being "owned by boaters" and other not so nice comments. The decision was made that rather than play that game the site would treat PBN as it didn't exist as much as possible.

Now, having said that, I interact with Brad regularly and think he promotes his site how he sees fit. We speak at nearly every event we attend together and sometimes in between. I have no ill will and hope all the sites survive long enough for the Facebook/ADD crowds to realize the benefits of a centralized forum that can be easily searched, used and understood.
