wow, that is a LOT better, I really like it.<br /><br />The current site is way to cluttered in my opinion.<br /><br /><br />.....would the maker of this site like to re-do my site as a side job? I want one like it

Looks really nice.<br />The one thing that makes Iboats very special is the huge boating information resource found in the forums.If I were looking at your webpage for the first time.I would probably miss that part because it gets lost in "forums".I do not believe that any of your competitors comes close to the treasure of older engine info that you posses.It should be utilised in a more agressive and visable way, because it is a valuable customer base creator.If not for these forums I would not keep on coming back to this site.In my case I bought 3 propellers and a few gasket sets,I also referred a lot of people to this site.They always tell me that the main reason why they like to buy iboats is not so much the cheap price but more the selfless help always being offered through the forums.<br />If you can promote the forums prominently as a pro bono knowledge treasure it will increase your customer base accordingly.

It's not cluttered but too much is hidden to me. You have to scroll around to find all of the hidden features. It also needs more color, looks too generic. Thanks for taking the time to listen to comments both good and bad. And thanks for hosting this wonderful site for all to enjoy.

Cleaner, easier to find stuff on the home page.<br /><br />Suggestion: since you are reworking the pages, might as well go ahead and do away with the “#1 for all things boating”. Claiming to be #1 is reserved only for those that aren’t. On the other hand, every other boating website claims they are #1, so you might as well jump into the mix. Personally, I see iboats as a serious entity, well beyond the need of the #1 claim thing.

ok I don't care for the pop up either, as far as hitting the page with a older browser, you can put code in for a page that they can use. I'll have to open it from home so I can see it with firefox instead of microcrap browser!<br /><br />Also if you run the mouse off the pop up to the right or left the pop up doesn't go away! at least here,,,,,,

I like the page with the exception of the pop up thing. I'd rather see a drop down menu, but I'm nobody.

It seems to be easier to find what I am looking for. In other words, I like it.

It's idiot proof, I like it.

It's got a nice look, but the pop -up is a little crazy it makes me dizzy,as if I wasn't already but it makes it worse

Seems fairly intensive sizewise, some of your dialup user's may not wait for it to load.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />Look's vary nice though.

Dialup users? We still have those?

The pop up is not that bad, it's supposed to be a convienient thing, one click and you get where you want to be within that section. Wasn't for it you have to make several clicks to get to the page that you want. It's very common nowaday on areas with multiple sub categories. It's not that bad since there only 3 pop ups and they're only at the top. I like how the forum entrance is in the middle and more visible. Oh yeah, it would be better if that boat in the middle was a bass boat and is running WOT.

It's beautiful, but whoever put in that overlay should be taken outside and shot. Or at least force fed saltwater for a few hours.<br /><br />How about a remake on the boards so they have modern features like read marks?

Over all 'GREAT'!<br /><br />The three sections in orange needs some work;<br />Boats For Sale<br />Boating Store<br />Boating Resouces<br /><br />Change the 'mouse over' selection function to the orange area only and remove from the lake and boat image.<br /><br />You guys/gals are doing a great job!

It as a clean look to it......always nice to make it user friendly. Great work!!

Re: Check out iboats.com's new look (exclusive first view to dockside)

I think it would be cool to have a few different pictures of boats alternating where the main picture is.......but that might require flash....not sure.<br /><br /><br />Overall I like the cleanliness of the page, seems pretty easy to navigate.

Looks good, except for the pop-ups when you hover. I agree that the "Forums" should be more distinct.
