MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us here at iboats.com to all of you, our terrific forum contributors and visitors! :) <br /><br />To all of you who have spent tens, and in some cases hundreds of hours in our forums this year helping other boaters, fishermen and water-sports enthusiasts by answering their questions…often over and over again…and sharing your wisdom and experiences in a professional yet fun-loving way, we express our sincere appreciation and thanks. It’s because of your willingness to give of your time and knowledge that literally thousands of boaters have been helped during the last 12 months…to which we again say, thank you, thank you!<br /><br />I’m sure I speak for everyone who has visited our forums when I express a very special double portion of thanks to JB (Ancient Mariner) for his significant contributions to these forums! Additionally, a heart-felt thank you also goes to Admin5 and moderator1 and to all of the Admirals who continue to provide so much help to so many people. This includes djohns19, 12Footer, Dhadley, Hooty, Trent, clanton, rickdb1boat, Sloopy (Dock Boy), crab bait, and Bob_VT. <br /><br />May peace and joy be with each of you during this special season and may 2003 bring health and happiness to you and to your loved ones. <br /><br />bv (Bruno Vassel Sr., President & CEO iboats, inc.)

Right back atcha, Bruno. The success of iboats has much to do with it's founding.<br /><br />1.The objective; To give mariners a place to get answers,and at minimum, moral suport when things don't work.<br />2.The people; The staff of iboats must've had thier concerns,opening-up a new forum for a bunch of old salts and newbies, some with less than churchlike tounges, who come to post, probaby after fighting a stuborn Johnnyrude out in the back yard, frustrated beyond civility to wife and dog....<br />You get the picture.<br />Then on the other side, "If we build it, will they come?" Well, I guess the answer there is obvious.By the thousands!<br /><br />Advertisers; After all, it costs much to start something like this, and what better place to advertise parts,outboards,and all things boat?<br />And thank you to all of them. May it pay-off beyond thier wildest hopes!<br />Many of us boaters have found the links very covienient. A prosperous New Year to Y'all!<br />And finally, moderation; This family site is one of the few sites where 'family site' remains paramount at all times. And to this, I owe JB, Adminn5,and yes, even the guy who deletes something vital (an accident can allways happen).<br />But to all of you, your efforts keeps us old salts from making utter fools of ourselves in here.<br />Thank you all! Merry Christmas n Happy New Year.
