Any old school dudes still here?
 
Hey guys, been many years, just wondering about old school OSO guys like Waterfowl and others are still into the OSO lifestyle, It was a tight group back in the day.

Hey Biggus, last year bought a bunch of dock parts from a dock place near you in Naples, ME. Thought about you driving up there to pick’m up. (I’m on winni , so not terribly far from you) . :thumbs.

Hope all is well for you.

thisistank 03-08-2026 08:05 PM

Kurt! What’s up brother? Where you been? You still have Enrique’s cigarette? Your old gun is running around havasu from time to time. Tied up next to him a couple years ago. Good dude. Restored it a bit and brought it back up to killer condition after dude in ca basically ruined it.

everything good?

Griff 03-08-2026 09:07 PM

Still here. Glad to see an OG posting:ernaehrung004:

Waterfoul hasn't been on in 10 + years

boatfreak 03-08-2026 09:11 PM

I'm still here and still have my A.T. I joined in 02 right after I bought a 28 A.T. and moved up to the 37 in 07. It's a little sad checking in here these days as it's a shell of what it once was but I rarely miss a day.

Indy 03-09-2026 03:31 AM

Still here although I've moved on to a Pursuit. Miss the Waterfoul, Travis, audiofn, BillR, Wes,Sean, et al days. Just blingboats.com now for the most part, just a shell of its former glory days. Still check in pretty much from habit but not much to see just, the latest $1MM++ boat rolling off the line if that does anything for ya. ZZZZzzzzzz

dykstra 03-09-2026 05:56 AM

Still here. Not OG but joined in '03 and still have my same boat. Great to hear from y'all!

cigrocket 03-09-2026 08:18 AM

Kurt to Kurt. I am still here not very active on Offshore Anymore. Sold the Playboy and after 5 different Cigarettes. And a bunch of other brands. Went Outboards. Miss the old days for sure at times, but I don't miss the wrenching....especially the upside down wrenching......lol. Getting older for sure.. Even though it says I joined in 2004, I actually joined in 2002 just changed names. So 24 years ago

Helmwurst 03-09-2026 08:52 AM

Still here.

Revd Up 03-09-2026 08:59 AM

I am still here as well. I've learned a lot from this site over the years.

Still learning, but I forget faster now. :D

Shah Mat 03-09-2026 09:09 AM

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

I was half thinking I should apologize that I’m going to try to get you kicked off here if you start posting that stupid **** here now.

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.

I still think of your screen name on about every checkmate I see. Good choice.

bleek 03-09-2026 07:48 PM

I've been around since the first Wild West message board, not a big poster, but followed along for years. Just happened to stop by tonight to check out good ol OSO

Classic!

check300 03-10-2026 06:18 AM

I joined in 2001 when I was putting together the 30' Checkmate. Still check out the forums daily.

HOSSMAN 03-10-2026 07:24 AM

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!

bn 03-10-2026 11:15 AM

Been around for a long time, but not a frequent poster. This site has a wealth of information and helps make long winters go by a little faster.

Ryan Beckley 03-10-2026 01:12 PM

I been here a minute or two, think I was #80. Would like to think we've made a few life long friends here and connections from around the globe, before the book of faces...... Cheers!

buck183 03-10-2026 01:59 PM

Still kicking here. "Don't let the old man in".

I sent Waterfoul a text letting him know that he got called out. Pretty sure he plays for the other team now and won't reply.

Bill 3 03-10-2026 03:21 PM

It's extremely rare that I post anything, but have enjoyed this forum for a long long time. Greateful that it is still here. Miss the discussions of years ago when there was a ton of activity on here.

Cheers:ernaehrung004:

Is there another team? Sunkin's site?

J-Bonz 03-10-2026 08:12 PM

I was just a young chap when I joined.. I think that was in 02 or 03… I sure do miss the old days of the site.. I still love going back and reading old threads on here, they never get old!

SFOcean 03-11-2026 05:44 AM

Still here - log in ever couple of weeks or so.

Quinlan 03-11-2026 07:19 AM

All the chit talking was the best back then. :ernaehrung004:

Gary C 03-11-2026 07:43 AM

Still here. Check everyday. Boatless now. Been here since 2000

WARPARTY36 03-11-2026 08:00 AM

Im still around. I don’t post a whole lot but check in regularly. Still doing some poker runs and going to races.
