Hi all, I'm Adam and I'm a lurker. 30s, married, 2 kids (who no longer ride in my car due to the above license plate). We boat out of Mentor, Oh on Lake Erie. Started with a 24 Formula, then went for a few years with a 29 Regal, for the family fun times. Now that it's not cool for the kids to be seen with mom and dad, we've moved to a Formula F311. We have met some super people while boating and hope to continue meeting more.

Tom here. Long time member, but since my 2 "debating adversaries" :eek: (Cat & Crash) were banned, I haven't been posting too much, but I'm usually online just about every night. I own a '01, 25' Warlock World Class called "Spellbinder"(see avatar), and am a member of the Atlanta Powerboat Club. :drink:

Hello everyone.

I am also a lurker.Dont post alot ,just read and learn from what others say because most of the ?'s that i have usually get answered with a little reading on OSO

Stan here I live in fredericksburg,va. married, 1 boy.We boat on Lake Anna,Potomac River and hope to visit the Rappahanock River and do the Jammn on the Jame this summer with the RPBA I'm a painter and own a antigue furniture restoration business. My boat is a 85 235 XLC Chaparral, not a performance boat like the most of you on here but is my first boat. Was powered by a 260 that ran 42 max,i did a lot of work to it and got it to run 60 and now this summer it will have a 383.

Hope to meet many RPBA members this summer

Eric,

That's a sharp looking boat. Where do you live in OC?

I have this site an amazing source of information, and humour as well. After 60 odd posts in 4 years I guess tha I qualify as a lurker as well.
I own a boatyard on the east end of the island and live at this end as well.
Originally moved here from Canada as a electrical Project Manager, and got married, and bought a boatyard.
We have two dogs, a couple of boats and don't get out on the water as much as we should.
Currently have a 24 Excalibur w a SC 468, 27 Wellcraft Excalibur with a SC 502 and a 22 Velocity with 2 x 200carb Mercs.
Buy the way......APACHE :D :D I finally said it and I feel so much better.

Cheers,

Andy

I’m a lurker

Boated all my life,love boats and never owned a fast boat, but have been on many over the years

I now have a 25' Grady White that I’m very happy with but look towards having a much faster boat at some time. Maybe a 36’ Concept with twin 275 Verados because I still want to be able to fish once in a while.

My kids and myself like to anchor out of the way and watch a pack of boats in a local poker run blast buy or catch a race from the beach.

Great site, and if I every do make the jump to a performance boat or have any meaningful info I will Lurk no more :)
