Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
Well, I'm Josh and I also have a boating problem. Since august 16 2006, I've been boating across the Atlantic pond as a master marine engineer technician and I've logged 687 hours on the 8000hp cruise engines (around 35 litres of fuel per minutes/each) and 48 hours on 25000hp main engines (220 litres of fuel per minutes each). Big bada$$ boat get me ticking even if it's a Canadian Navy one. Gotta love big gas turbines. Even better, I don't have to pay for the fuel. 
When I'm home, I use my little 24' offshore advantage (this one I don't pay for fuel either, Miss VISA is doing it and I pay the misses Afterward. I like Drag racing with a olds cutlass 78, 2 Suzuki GS1150ef. I enjoy 4 wheeling, 4X4, camping in my 71 VW westfalia. I have my little (30' x 25') garage / machine shop to keep me entertained
All my ex now know that mechanic isn't only my trade but also my hobby. Sure enjoy a cold one every now and then. I enjoy the reading and look forward to buy myself a newer Diesel truck to go down south and attend some poker run with you guys. Might not be in the same league as many here but I would enjoy it anyway. As I like to say, I might be slow but woman likes it.

Found this site about a year ago, finally paid for a membership a few months ago. I used to have a PQ. I'm boatless now except for the familly's SeaRay. Would like to get another fast boat but most likely won't buy another PQ. Do most of my boating on Lake Michigan, Macatoilet, and Spring Lake.

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
Hi everyone, Clay and Sharon here in Virginia. We have 3 kids in college and have owned a lot of different boats over the years. Currently we have a 34 Scarab SS and recently purchased a Cary 50. We can not beleive the information we have found on OSO already about our boat. Look out, we are going to have lots of questions.
