Northern Ohio specific forum?
 

Im trying to move back to Northern Ohio. Im just wondering if there is any forums out there specifically dedicated to N. Ohio, the islands, Cleveland, or just Ohio in general "Hot Boating scene" or anything along those lines. Ive done several searches and cant find anything but was hoping someone here knew. Theres got to be something were people chat about all the happenings at the islands right? No disrespect to this site of course.

Thanks,

Jason

South Texas......for now!

Islandpirates.net is the only one I know..

Yup, I have to agree with Snopro, Island pirates is the place to go. Its the next best thing to hanging at the Casino at Kelleys... Alot of good peeps on there!! Cant go wrong hanging at the Casino! To many good times to remember...... :) Thanks FF & Race Girl for the pics bellow... Contact Thrillseeker for membership.......

Thanks guys! Just what I was looking for!

Island pirates register
 

I tried to sign up for Islandpirates.com so I could view pictures and post. I have not heard anything all week. Is the site on the skids????

Anyone know the moderator there? I signed up with the same screename here to keep it related.

Thanks.

J Bonz - how's the interior coming along???

Same here. I havent heard anything either. Been trying to see pics and stuff.

Used to be here as Thrillseeker and Donzi Girl. Great people. Tony and Elizibeth. They may be in the Keys:)

i think they are coming to the baja party in bucyrus tomorrow night i will say something to them if they are there

Just like Underdog said, PM thrillseeker on here... Interior is done! Was going to tow it back this weekend but the snow put a damper on that. Next weekend I will give it a try.. Hopefully Dave is done with my center console and I can kill two birds with one stone. How is your project coming along?
Jr.

I emailed the site directly.....I will try thier screen names here too. Thanks

The website is Islandpirates.net not .com,that should help..

What side of Cleveland are you moving to? You have the East End, Middle (Cleveland) or the West End and all three are like different worlds. The party starts in the west and tapers off as you move east! Or are you a puddle jumper? Let us know. We have this down to a science.

Could be awhile before you hear from them, I lost (forgot) my password a couple years ago and inquired about it and have yet to hear back! They are a bit sensative about whom get's access to the site it would seem! Maybe it's somethin about drive time to get to the lake? Good Luck to you Pistonhead! Rich

None of the above...lol! Im looking to move to Sandusky. I have found several nice houses with barns in Huron and several nice canal homes in Port Clinton. I must have one of those options. All my family is on the east side though.....Mentor, Willoughby Hills, Lyndhurst...so I will be there all the time too. I sure miss the "old" flats!!!

LOL! Maybe thats it. No Texans.....LOL! Even though I grew up boating the islands and around Cleveland. Or maybe he found out I lived in Michigan before!:poopoo:

It does feel like 2 different parts of the world........... I swear the toilets spin backwards on the east side. :)

Anyone who is having issues gaining access to island pirates can PM me directly or email me at [email protected]

Thank you for your interest in our site.

Yeh, When your boat makes a wake at the bay the regular north west wind blows it are way and gives us 8 footers to play in every weekend! Makes us Dock Drunks!

Thanks Tony for the speedy reply and all the help!

Making progress. Had a little diversion getting the bottom straightened out and cleaned up (bottom painted). I think Dave has a good handle on it. He can chime in on progress, I think he was going to do some pictures up here.

I started a thread on it a while ago, it may be time for updates. I have a lot of irons in the fire with this project between Dave, engines and trannies, updates, bilge and interior. Shooting to get her wet end of summer if all goes somewhat smoothly. We all know how that goes....

I thought I had a lot going on to wrap my project up... Stay focused and utilize a ghant chart.... :) Cant wait to hear more about...!
Jr.

Haha, Ghant chart, good one. I did just buy Micr Project for the office. That's not a bad idea. Actually, all it takes is money, lots of friggin' money.....

Aint that the truth! Just keep throwing money at it..... and dont forget to pray to... :) How you like Project? I use that at work alot... It can however become somewhat cumbersome. Especially when your dates are more or less floating...

Coming from Visio, which I never really used to it's potential, it's a lot more user friendly. Really just used Visio for our Pressure Vessel projects to communicate with the customer. I'm trying to tie in General shop scheduling and marry everything (short lead time orders with long lead time projects, materials, labor, subcontracting, etc.). It's pretty complex and you can easily create a monster! The secret is to only put in what you really need, sometimes too much information makes it too constrained. It's like spending too much time trying to keep track of time.

Where are you at with the Scout? You should update your thread in the paint section. Do you have an entire build thread in the Apache section??? The paint one was very detailed!

Give me a heads up when you head up to Venetian in the spring, we'll catch up.

Boy, isn't that the truth. Most of time when I go to Geneva or Ashtabula, its mostly fishing boats. Not a lot of protection either when things get really rough unless you duck down the Ashtabula River.
