Hi, i'm Steve, i'm from Vancouver B.C. i'm 18 and im a certified lurker, although a boat owner i am not, not yet anyway. Thanks to some friends i was exposed to the offshore world a few years ago and am now hooked. Currently when im not tied up with school work im on this site or ones similar too it. Thanks to my friends i've been able to get my hands dirty in the bilge, take part in some poker runs, and ride some serious machines, i even had the opportunity to meet Reggie Fountain. While i may only be a lurker, im a speed nut, and i hope to have a real reason to start posting one of these days,
Cheers.
Cheers.

Hi, i'm Gabe Martin with Extreme Marine in North Carolina. We are the East Coast Distributor for Dave's Custom Boats. I do a lot of lurking on here and a small amount of posting. I guess i'm like most others. I lurk to learn as much as i can. I am 24 and have been involved in boating all my life. At 19 I started a boat dealership selling Maxum boats and JC pontoons. I was in college and my business partner and father were supposed to be running the business. We all know how that goes!!! My partner was in it to collect a check and my father had some health problems. Needless to say it tanked and cost me $1.4Million. Lesson one, never open a boat dealership!!!!! I then went to work for Extreme and we were selling pontoons, fishing boats, sport boats, fountain, and DCB. TOO MANY boat lines. We down sized to only DCB and now I am the only employee. I do anything that needs to get done. Shows, Poker Runs, Demos, Deliveries, You name it.
Throwing a lot out, but letting everyone know me.

I am one of those non posters lol and should say hello to all. My name Eric, I have been boating since I was 12 in the 1000 Islands. I am now in my 30’s and still boating up there and love the fact that my son at 16 months old is able to enjoy the same thing. I currently am in a Cruiser 3370 (yes cruiser) we spend almost every weekend up in the 1000 Islands at our home and boating all over. My wife and I love having a cruiser cause of the room but in the next few years we plan on getting into go fast to be able to do poker runs with our son and as a family fun thing. The knowledge I have gained on here is priceless and love reading the various topics that come up.

Welcome beer truck! The used Robinson 162 choppers posted on Vortech in the 20 to 30 K range look awfully attractive to me, tempting to pick one up. I know they can be trailered and stuffed into a garage. How long will I live if I buy a used homebuilt helicopter? <gg>
Logically one would take the used chopper to the Robinson factory and have them go over it with a fine toothed comb before strapping yourself in. Any thoughts on that?
