Thanks for all the replies. Great to see the old rides and see some of the eventual progressions.
Hope this keeps going. |

started lurking in 02 we still had our 2000 29 Outlaw. Then the wife said Cruizer before another Go Fast, so Fino before we moved up to the Cig in 08.
I owe it all to James Easton for turning us on to the site. RIP Friend.https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...3d530d3ff0.jpg |

The yellow, purple and orange are covering up the typical tacky checkered graphics. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...c7779348d3.jpg

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...7dc200fcc8.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...9a31d72453.jpg I joined September of 2002 under the screen name of RJBBC. The letters were a reference to my ex-wife and two dogs that we had that have since passed. We purchased our first boat the Summer of 2002 (2000 Checkmate 259 Convincor). A lot can happen in 16 years but I still visit this site almost daily. Here's the boat! |
Good thread topic. Was on the site reading before but Joined in 2014 in need of help on which boat we should trade up to. Started 2003 outlaw, put a procharger on it. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...43d48269a.jpeg Then moved onto an 03 cheetah with 525’s https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...3adf09abfe.png And just recently got a 05 slingshot with asd’s and 572’s https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...a6388bb62.jpeg |

First boat was a 98 26 scarab with a way overbored whippled 565. Detonated it and cracked cylinder walls in about 15 mins.... New engine, took for maiden voyage dropped a valve... lol round 3 - redid heads and had eddie young tune it, then sold scarab... (it lasted the 3rd time) project took about 3 years total. in the interim.bought a 22 avanti with 600hp... ran it like a scalded dog while working on scarab. Friend bought it an filled engine with water, let it sit. now have a 2016 tidewater 280cc with twin 300 yammys... looking for a 41 apache, 46 cig, or 40 skater eventually. :cool-smiley-011: |
Joined OSO in 2005. Had my second Nor Tech at the time. Also the Sea Ray Pachanga that was a great boat to have at the cottage in CAN at the time.

Joined in 2003 owned a 2001 Baja 302 with my 3 siblings. Love them but never again. |
Bought my ‘97 Baja 272 Islander late 2013 and all internet traffic for answers pointed to OSO, so here I am. Everyone has been pretty gracious answering my complete newb questions and a huge thanks for that. Im really impressed with the quality that many started out with for a first boat. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...5d7b007be.jpeg |
I'm relatively new here but when I joined, I owned this..... https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...eb0e37888d.jpg Modified it slightly to this..... https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...b90ca69064.jpg More importantly, it was research on OSO (and another forum about CC's) prior to joining, that helped me make the decision to buy the Fountain. I was running a cruiser and wanted to go faster and smaller but still carry a few friends. OSO was also my friend when I was looking for my current ride and I'm already reading here thinking about my next boat. Thanks OSO :) RR |
Had surfed OSO for a couple of years and bought a 1981 Schiada 20 SS shortly before I officially joined. Do spend time on other Forums too, but OSO is the only truly International Forum i.m.h.o., which is great. Just sold my lake boats and bought the 1990 Larry Smith Team Scarab 31 a couple of years ago. Hate wrenching so have a tendency to buy boats built for egg-beaters.

Joined in 2011 or 2012? First boat was a 1989 Formula 242ls, then a 1990 Scarab Excel 31', then a 1996 Scarab 31 kevlar School-Boat (#2), now my 2002 Warlock World Class 29'. Takes a few boats to learn what you like and don't like, and I think the Warlock is staying for goodhttps://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...188a7aac4.jpeg
First boat, 1989 Formula 242ls https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...ab064c8359.jpg |
Bought my first Baja 405, "MI$$ APPROPRIATED FUND$".

I had 2 Formulas at the time I actually joined instead of lurking
1985 223 LS 1989 311 |
Joined March 2012. Had not owned anything for about 5 years at the time. First boat I owned was a 1969 Donzi Sweet 16 w/ 225hp Volvo.

Same boat as when I first joined. Info shows Oct 2000, but I thought there was some issue back then when we went to Charter Members and the dates got lost?
WOW, how many have had the same boat? Ordered mine in Jan of 1998, pulled it home in Sep of 1998! 20 Years on the same boat! Same Trailer, Same motors, same drives, same props! :) Maybe its time to UPGRADE!https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e2ca119616.jpg |
I had just bought the "Pink Flamingo" in September 2003 and was searching the internet for info on the 525 Hawks. I stumbled upon OSO....been here ever since.
