Steven from Oklahoma,

Computer Business Owner. I sell and setup emergency managment systems and small business networks
.
I dont post much unless I have a question. I am new to owning a boat, but have been in and around them all my life.

I currently own a Sea Ray 220DA Mid cabin cruiser, and starting an older Formula 255 project.

I also put around on my bro-in-laws Carver 360 Sedan. I am at the helm when he is partying with clients...

I guess Im still a lurker here since I read more than I post. Im somewhere between 35 and 40 :rolleyes: , 2 kids girl is 14 and boy is 11. I am a licensed title agent and manage a small office (8 females)

TeamBaja, is one of my best friends. I went to school with his brothers. Last year I became single so he introduced me to Hilsinger because most of the members are local (Ohio) and Im kinda a smart ass so I fit right in. I had no experience with boats even tho Bajas and Checkmates are both built here in my home town. I love go fast cars so the go fast boats were a natural progression for me.


Im a big fan of nascar racing but not a big fan of nascar. I go to Charlotte in May and Bristol in August. :drink:

Brad,
How did you end up with a tiger for a pet? How big is that kitty?

Are you at Kellys Island and Put In Bay quite often?

Unfortunayely we haven't made the Islands in a couple of years. The kids are at that age that kinda demands all of our time. Hopefully this year they can be on their own a ittle more. and we can spend more time on the water.

We're on the lake about 1/2 way between the lagoons and Fairport. Beth and I hope to meet a few new people this summer after the switch from the cruiser to the Formula. Loved to watch the Banshee go by! :D We will miss it.

Hi

We've had a dock at Riverbend Marina for the last 8 years or so, Just traded the Regal for th Formula in Aug. and I think we're going to keep the dock for now. Not keeping the boat there all the time, maybe just weekends. We usually don't go too far when we go, we just go out to enjoy the sun if we have any.

If your avatar is your boat, we've seen it quite often near the rack building or the beach. I like the looks of the stingers alot.

I suppose I would be considered a lurker, well up until very recently. The name's Lance, I'm 26, a Logistics consultant and live in Southern Maryland on the Patuxent River (about a mile from the chesapeake). my family has lived on the water my entire life had family boats, worked at marinas, but it wasn't until last year that I bought a performance boat of my own. It's a 22' Chris Craft stinger and I'm already looking to move up. I'm trying to scrape up enough duckets to order a new 30y2k superboat. I'll keep you all posted on what I end up doing.

You're at Riverbend??? We belong to River's Edge Yacht Club in Riverbend. Is your avatar your boat? It looks familiar but not sure. Yes, that is our boat in our avatar and if you're at Riverbend a lot, I'm sure you've seen us up and down the river quite a bit.

We will definately have to hook up this summer and introduce ourselves!

[QUOTE=OffshoreRescue]Hey all.
I don't post a lot either, but I am very involved in offshore racing. My name is Bruce, and I help run the Silver Cup Offshore Rescue and Evac Team (SCORE for short). I am a PADI certified Master Scuba diver, and an EMT. For the last 4 years I have been sitting out on the water watching some of you run around in circles while occasionally (fingers crossed praying for never) meeting you up close and personal in the middle of one of the Great Lakes.

Thank You for being out there for us Racers ! You people are truly the Stars !

If you have OSO as your home page, yet rarely post, is that beyond a normal lurker? My name is Bill, my wife and I boat on Table Rock Lake in Missouri. We get up to LOTO once or twice a year. Our boat is a Baja 33 Outlaw "RobinMeBlind II". Thanks to all of you for all I have learned over the years!

Beth and I used to belong to REYC '98/'99, I think. There's still a few people left from then. That's our boat in the avatar. We bought it in Aug and didn't leave it at the dock for more than a couple of days at a time. Used to have a 29' Regal. Can't wait for summer. Need to go boatin'.

That could've been us. Our house is not too far from there. Sometimes we anchored there also. Sometimes we just drifted from the lagoons towards the harbor. Coast Guard beach and Fairport beach get way too busy for us.

Been around boating for a long time. 41 Years old and could back a boat trailer and drive a boat long before I had a drivers license.

Currently own a 2000 Baja H2x, 2003 Chevy 4x4 Crew Cab Dooley

I don't post much because this is an offshore only thread and my boat is not an offshore boat. I am looking to move up to an offshore performance boat but I have too many toys and hobbies right now. I have learned a lot reading posts here.
