My name is Mike, i'm 31 years old and I do most of my boating on Lake Michigan out of Michigan City, IN and on Hardy Dam in Michigan. I run a 2001 American Offshore 2600 with a 850hp WPM built engine. This is a great site. I wish I had more time to spen on here.

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!

My name is Chris I currently do not own a boat because I just bought a new 3500 sq ft home. I live in Cincinnati and have been boating since I was a kid. My dad has a place on Lake Erie and I boat with friends in Cumberland and the Ohio river.

If any one knows of a good boat for sale please let me know, right know i can afford around $30,000 and would like something 25 feet or bigger. Preferably a cat but open to anything just to get on the water again.

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

Also I am in the commercial hood and duct business so if anyone needs any thing bar resteraunt etc. let me know we are nation wide.

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

Cord on this board has a nice 26' Firehawk cat for sale. I've got some seat time in this boat and all I can say is YES!! Great ride, runs upper 80's with the 540 in it, stand off box, etc... I think he's looking to get somewhere around $36,000 for it on a trailer... and I'm sure delivery could be arranged (we like road trips!!).

'Foul

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

I think I've seen that boat before on this board thats a little more than I can afford right know. Unless what she dosen't know won't matter!!!!

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

Dude, you don't want that boat.... you NEED that boat!!!!

If I were in the market for a smaller cat, it'd be on my short list... mostly because I've driven it in all sorts of water.... 3-4' on Lake Michigan, washing machine chop on Lake of the Ozarks, and flat as a board water also at LOTO. It's a friggen riot!! And the motor runs well too... and it's detailed to the max... pretty motor!!

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

does it have an engine hatch?

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

Engine hatch? :rolleyes: The most important thing to know about a boat is how many cup holders it has! :drink: :p

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

Hello all. Name is John, and live in Paducah, KY. Have been boating for about 2 years at Kentucky Lake with a few other members of this board. I don't have helicopters or Hummers or Skaters, just a piddly ole Baja. Currently have a 99 Baja H2X, but it's taking a trip to Somerset next week to Alton Blakley to get a new home. I'll be bringing back an 05 25' Outlaw to start off a new season.

I work at a Uranium Enrichment Facility. The last one left in the United States. It's a crazy job, but it feeds the need :cool:

My name is Tom and I have a drink....I mean lurking problem. I live in Northern KY and have a 225BR Crownline with a Procharged 350Mag and a Stern Jack. This is my first boat and I am addicted. If all goes as planned my next one will be a Nordic. I am a traveling A&P mechanic for one of the fractional ownership companies (I fix private jets).
This is an AWESOME sight with fantastic members and the information I have picked up here is incredible. Thanks for the welcome.......and the uncensored section. :drink:

My name is Earl, but I will also answer to Gregg, I am in Orlando, I currently own a Stingray 220SX (a what???) but will be uptrading to a 27' or 29' Fountain come Jan. I am an Audio Engineer (mainly concert so I am kinda deaf) I am UNSANE because I have some "thrill issues" and have the past, present and future doctors' bills to prove it. (the limp is worth it in my book) I think this place is fricking cool! I will be upgrading soon and talking more. You are the kind of people that I want to be around so I hope I meet some of you soon. I am learning a lot here. I like to go fast. I like Steak, Chicken and Buffalo. I like Heineken. I like big fake boobies......even if they're both lefties!!!! :D

Hi, my name is Lindsay and everybody calls me Red. This is my first post here and I have owned three boats so far with my newest purchase a Baja 30 Outlaw named, Last Laugh. I guess I can blame my boating itis on my mother in law who said I would own a boat since I own a house on the lake. I also need to give credit to my father in law who gave me my first boat a 19' Crestliner. I live in Vermont the home of the green pastures and the cold winters and short summers. I boat on Lake Champlain and look forward to many Poker Runs now that I have something to keep up in. Thanks.

My name is Dave, but you guys can call me Woodsy, everyone else does. I am a 40yr old boozer with a boating problem. I blame my parents for this addiction, who for some odd reason (while I was growing up) always had some barely running POS boat that I thought I could fix up. One winter day during a snowstorm, while driving by Irwin Marine on Lake Winnipesaukee I found my first dreamboat... a red Donzi 18 Classic. A few margaritas later at Nothin' Fancy, the red Donzi was mine. There has been a steady progression of boats since then, a 97 Donzi 22 Classic (yellow), an 83 Donzi 22 Classic Outboard (rare, 1 of 1) and my current ride is a '00 Donzi 26ZX. I post over on Donzi.net alot. I also lurk here quite a bit.

Of course if they get a speed limit on Lake Winni all bets are off. It will be time to get one of those "fish" boats. You know the type, say a Donzi 26ZF with twin 250 Verados....

Hello all! My name is Chris and my wifes name is Angie. I have been lurking for quite some time. We live in Ypsilanti Michigan. Our first boat was a 1990 226 ES Baja, that we promplty wrecked in the Detroit river on some submerged "crap" Now we own a 1998 24 Outlaw SE. I enjoy reading everybodys post's and think everyone has a real good sense of humor. I have learned alot from everybody about boating, so thank you all! :drink:

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

yeeee haaaaa :evilb: :fish:

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

Awesome! Now lets see some pictures of that "investment"! :drink:

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

Funny post ! and hail from another Winni boater. Alas I am also a 40+ (how much +, I won't say) boozer with a boating problem. I say that now 'cuz right now it's too cold to boat and just right for chillin beer (thus no booze problem but a large boating problem). Now come spring that order may be reversed :D Alas I've already gone to the darkside, having had the same experience w/parent's POS boats. I now have a small cruiser (yes, jest and heap large piles of dung upon me for I have sinned :D ) but I remind y'all that you will get old and married some day too :eek: Nonetheless I do try to advocate for what's right and thus hopefully you won't have to buy that fish boat :eek: :drink:

ps - care to guess how many seconds it'll take "APS" to try to spin this bit of fun into political "hay".

My name is Mike own a Skater 18 from Spring Lake, Mi

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

My name is John, from Syracuse New York. I've been boating my entire life and I owe the love of it to my parents hard work for having the means to afford a boat when the kids were young. Currently I have a Donzi 16 and a Donzi 22 which my brother and I both split. I boat mainly in the 1000 islands where I live in the summer. But I also boat in beautiful Skaneateles Lake where we keep our other donzi. I've been lurking and like Woodsy, I spend some time on Donzi.net and SW and have recently found OSO.......okay I'm gonna go back to lurking now-later!!

Re: This thread is for all the NON POSTING LURKERS!!!
 

I’m sort of glad that this is here. I really did not introduce me and my wife to this board. So here it goes in a nut shell. My name is Eugene, 43 and my wife’s name is Tanya, (younger than me :drink: ). We have been married for 7 years. We have 3 kids, 1 girl 14 (her’s from a previous marriage) and 2 boys, 4 (going on 5) and the youngest just turned 3. All 4 of them just love boating. I’m a Welding Eng for a Tier 1 automotive supplier here in Hopkinsville Ky and Tanya is a Sales Rep for Nabisco. We really love it here.

This is my second power boat, present boat is a 29’ Fountain. My “first love” was a used 1979 17’ Polar Kraft Jon boat with a 80 hp Mariner motor (I just sold it last fall :( ). I used the heck out of that boat! I bought it just to hunt out of, then me and my buddies started using it during the summer to SKI with it, that was a sight :eek: :D … My first power boat was a 1992 240 FS Seebold Eagle. I really liked that boat :D ! My wife and I like to meet new people on the water and for everyone to have a GREAT time together :drink: , no matter what boat you have :D :D !!!! We both just enjoy this site so much. We have had a great time on here laughing and some sad. I do a lot more reading than posting in the Tech posts because my knowledge is not at the level that is present here and I was always taught that if you don’t know something, “just shut up and listen”.

Well that’s enough about us hope I did not bore you too much...

Regards,
Eugene
