I am not one to watch TV very much so spend a chunk of my leisure time sitting here banging away at the keyboard. I found iboats just about three years ago and have enjoyed my time here to the hilt. As with most who come here I have learned a huge bunch of what to do and a tad on what not to do in this fun world we call boating.<br /><br />I want to extend a big THANK YOU to all who make this place possible - - to those who contribute - - to those behind the scenes who take care of the site - - and even those who read, learn and never post. If I have managed to help a few along the way it has made it well worth the time spent. <br /><br />I got my first boat 35 years ago and have two along side the house now. I am not a professional wrench. I do my cussin & fussin here at home. <br /><br />I urge those who just cruise by and never stop to pause a bit, jump in and contribute. I did three years ago with post #1.
