Just wanted to say thanks for all the useful and interesting information everyone posts. I have been reading/watching for almost a year. I came across the site after I bought my first real boat last year (86 Wellcraft 21 cc) and was looking for any information I could find. After a complete renovation last winter and a motor rebuild this summer,(pics someday?) I think I'm done. (never) This winter will be complete renov. of Hobie 18. I was home sick for 3 days and finally got around to registering. The first thing I wanted to do was say thanks and now that I'm here I'll try to return the favor if I can. BTW I know there's a thread already but JHOLE - Jeff here on Lake Erie
