Original account here was in late 2001, got off the internet for a bit and lost that log in and email so started this account maybe 15 years ago.
It was a different time. I think back most of you guys were maybe my age now, maybe younger. It was crazy to think tricked out twin engine v bottoms back then were what 100-150k new and the financing was even better.

Still here. I actually joined in 2001, but misspelled my screenname and changed it in 2002 lol (Sha mat)
I usually check-in daily and hit the new post button. If I'm about to purchase a boat part or an upgrade, I'll usually go to google search and use the image and webpage results. (ie "mufflers" offshoreonly or "swim platform" offshoreonly)
I was cleaning the basement a while back and ran across this

Not super OG but joined in 02 when I worked for Marine Max selling Baja's out of Houston. Owned a bunch of Baja's, Hustler, Cig and a 38 Sundancer, got tired of wrenching. Sold everything working on retirement in 10 years. Still check in daily, comment randomly from time to time but like said above and I mentioned in a post somewhere I think we all miss the good ole days. The 500K starter boats and million dollar club is awesome and good for those that can play in that game but the old build threads, owners forums and everyone hazing everyone is why I came. The, every cat with O/B's looks and runs about the same for a mill isn't my thing but still happy for those that can swing that hammer.
Who ever thought Pete and Ray and the gang taking pix of poker run starts would all be 90% outboards. I want to see some roost and hear some blower whine!
