Re: Official Business of the 3V Club ( aka tri hull club )
Alright, with summer drawing to a close and people are starting to think about their boats and storage, I think it's time for some official Iboats/3V business to be conducted. I'm hoping that because of this, more of the 'members' will have an opportunity to view the thread and reply so we can get some business done here.
1st order of business is the new logo redesign. Do we like it, do we want something changed about it? SouthKogs has the task firmly under his belt and can tweak this to where we all are happy with the redesign or we chuck it in favor of the original.
In regards to the original and the members who've already put orders in for the remaining few left and those that have already received theirs....you've got the founding fathers stickers and can proudly display them alone, or you can add the redesign next to them to show your length of membership in the club, or however you want to justify slapping another sticker on your boat
Second order of business. Official tally of members. I'm completely in the dark as to creating a member profile spreadsheet or whatever would be deemed necessary to keep track of our members. I'd like to see submissions of username, email address, location and boat brand and designation. That way we can keep track of the number of actual boats in the club, breakdown the number of starcrafts, glastrons, Lund, Reinell, etc that make up our club. We can simply add an (R) to boats retired from personal fleets. Essentially a 3V database. Also, it would be nice to have a report on each boat and HP and prop set ups with GPS speeds to make reference to for people looking at the club. If we get serious enough about it, perhaps Iboats will make a separate forum for us to organize all this data.
3rd, I'd like to consider a monthly or quarterly newsletter to send out to keep the club semi-active and would need folks to submit stories, articles, hints and tips, maybe a member boat spotlight segment, etc.
I can't spearhead this whole thing by myself though. I'm the type that has his hands in so many things, that many of those things never get done...so I'm going to need some members to help out with getting this off the ground...that is, if we are serious about starting our "little club"
Or, we can simply have this club be as simple as it gets...Got a boat with a tri hull? You're in the club. Want a sticker to prove it? Contact me. Anything beyond that is between individual members to fill in the blanks.
Gotta know where everyone stands, there's no point in going gung ho on it if this is just meant to be casual.
