hello-new to oso
 

hello,

I am a new member to oso. Everything looks really cool.
I heard on the other sites that this board has a lot of negetivity and people who bash others.

What are the generally feelings here? I would like to know before i pay for a membership. LOL

I would appreciate any info...

I am glad to give this trial a shot, I boat out of st clair michigan, actually port huron most of the time, any other members from that area?

I hope this is a great place to spend the of season, I am new to this whole internet boat sites....seems real neat!

Re: hello-new to oso
 

Can't beat it...
Welcome to the fun.
What's "negetivity"? :D:D:D

Re: hello-new to oso
 

whatever you read just remeber these key things and you will be okay...

1. Apache was the best boat ever made. Period.

2. Fountain is the speed king. No point anybody else trying, they should just give up and worship the jogging suit king.

3. Sailboats suck.

4. No politcs allowed, unless yours agrees with whoever is moderating that day.

5. No religion. (see 4 for reason)

6. Everybody's boat manufacturer makes their boats the best, everybody else just splashes their design. (and when they want a hull made right they take it to skater)

7. Cigs and Fords are the best, just ask Mr. Wonderful.

8. Do not buy a watch off this site.

9. Do not buy a boat from National Marine. Sorry, I didn't post this one sooner for some of you.

10. Winter will be over soon and we will all be lying how fast are boats are and not discussing the above nine, but they still apply.

Welcome and have fun....- :D :evilb: :D

Well Sean, glad to see that this board has actually educated somebody.

Welcome to the board pwrquest380.

What is negetivity? :chimp:

Re: hello-new to oso

Re: hello-new to oso

Re: hello-new to oso
 

WELCOME!!! Gotta love the new members! Let me ask you a question....What is negative about fast boats, hot women, and some even hotter men????? I see no negativity in our little world ;)

Hope you stay for a while ;)

Re: hello-new to oso
 

Sean H, Which Spectre do you have? A buddy of mine just ordered the new 32. Great boats.

Re: hello-new to oso
 

i have a 30 w/ 500's...

Re: hello-new to oso
 

I can tell you that I frequent a LOT of other sites (boats, snowmobiles, cars, trucks) and there is a LOT less "Bashing" as you stated it on this site than most others. The moderators here are LONG time members and don't put up with too much crap before they step in... I tend to avoid the political and religious threads so I don't get banned!! LOL!!!

If you want some good bashing sites, check out some snowmobile sites once.... cat pounces on Doo, Polaris crushing Yamaha, your sled sucks and I don't know why you ever bought it, etc.... Things can get out of hand real quick!!

Welcome and have fun!

Re: hello-new to oso
 

Welcome to OSO! We are recent new members too. The members have been very nice and it is a cool website. We are from Michigan originally too and I know alot of members are from around St. Clair Shores. Enjoy! Where abouts do you keep your boat?

Re: hello-new to oso
 

pwrquest380
Welcome to OSO it is a great site and alot of fun to visit when it is cold outside. You might as well pay for a membership heck it is only 20 to 25 gallons of fuel. :D By the way I take it you own a PQ 380, give us the states on it. Mine came from up that way itself, seems like a nice area.
Talk to you soon.

Re: hello-new to oso
 

Fallin' out of my chair!!!! :D This is the way it happens most of the time.......you are being initiated!! :rolleyes: :D

Re: hello-new to oso
 

One other thing. Whenever you hear of a boating accident. Immediatly get on this site and speculate... Thats right, speculate. Talk as if you designed the boat, built the boat, new the driver, talk with that family, pull everyone to shore, headed the investigation, and found certain blame... this especially goes for stepped hulls and cats.

Post lots of picks.

Add 7 mph to your boat when talking abot it on this board.

Threaten Packenair!

Join SCOPE (I dont care if you dont boat in SOCAL... We are just better is all).

Dont comment about Norty's height (He is a madman with photoshop and will add your picture to something you will not want it added to).

Dont disagree with WASABE (She has pull with the big boys)

And it is customary for newbies to send $100.00 cash to a ranome member who's screenname is hard to understand.


Welcome!

oh,,,this is the ORIGINAL and BEST site around....period.

Re: hello-new to oso
 

Hey!!!! :D :D :D :drink: :drink:


Welcome to the site

Re: hello-new to oso
 

Welcome, OSO is what you make it, and I try to make the most of it. Through this site we have met a whole new group of friends who we see at poker runs, races, and parties across the country. Unil we became active in OSO we did not have many friends with OS now we can go almost anywhere and find a group to hang with.

In addition to the improvement of our social life we have bought and sold tons of parts. My husband has gotten a lot of free technical advice from leaders in the marine industry, and become acquainted with a lot of reputable marine services

If you stay a while you will find OSO has a lot of power in this community, and can do a lot of good . We helped sponsor a race boat in Key West, held a party that raised several thousands for the FL Hurricanes, helped launch some successfull new marine businesses (just ask Fred) and we even help warn people of who to steer clear of. If you're looking for a boat out of your area it always seems you can find someone local to check it out for you.

One of things that make me realize how passionate people feel about this site, is that it is often one of the first places they will come to tell of a death in their family, there own illness, and even if they have fallen on hard times. There is alway an outpouring of support and personal experiences.

Everyone kids and talks about the power of OSO and the OSO family, but it is true. Just read the threads about the parties, people will travel many miles for an OSO gathering; 450 in Key West, 300 at the Chill Out in VA, 250 or so at the Miami show. They are planning one in Philly now and one is happening this weekend in South Haven.

Like any family you will find a few bad apples, some one trying to stir the pot and a bit of fighting. But that just adds to the fun :D So once again welcome and it will be up to you what you get out of the site.
