Very impressive. Forbes is highly respected for their reviews and opinions.<br /><br />Congrats iboats!<br /><br />I guess this is why we have to watch our P's and Q's around here, somebody important is always watching.

I have always said this is the best site on the web and that we should be honored to be a member. Good job to all of us for keeping this site #1 and an extra special thank you to our Mods for their hard work in controlling us(which at times must be frustrating for them). Lets keep it NUMBER 1.

Another spot on Forbes.<br /> http://www.forbes.com/bow/b2c/review.jhtml?id=7709 <br /><br />Iboats.com<br />www.iboats.com <br /><br /><br />Though based in land-locked Utah, this excellent site offers a rich trove of seafaring resources. Want to purchase a vessel? There are nearly 50 categories of powerboats alone, ranging from aluminum boats to trawler yachts. For example, a 56-foot Veneti yacht built in 2003--complete with wet bar and barbecue--was recently being offered for ($883,000). But there are also plentiful personal watercraft and sailboat listings too, such as a 35-foot 1994 Fountaine Pajot catamaran with air conditioning ($169,000). If you want to fix a boat, you'll find more than 100,000 marine products for sale, from bilge pumps to deck hatches. Land lubbers will want to head to Boating Basics for primers on ignition systems, fuel, batteries, winterizing a boat and more. There's also a step-by-step guide to valuing a used vessel.<br /><br />BEST: Active message boards discuss everything from fishing in Lake Michigan to dealing with frozen motors. <br /><br />WORST: A standard ad will cost sellers $50 for a month.
