Re: Pocket Cruisers
Hey, redeye- take it easy. Nobody's offended. No harm, no foul. It's juist that 6-year-old threads really aren't relevant anymore. Good for searching out information, though.
When you log into the iboats forum and first enter the Boat Topics and Questions section, you'll see an option to start a new topic. Choose that, title it something like "Looking for Info About My Boat", then ask your questions. As far as whether or not you own a pocket cruiser, that's a somewhat subjective term rather than a defined classification of boat.
You say your boat has a small cabin. Okay, that'd make yours a a cuddy cabin cruiser, a walk-around cuddy, an express cruiser (like mine) or a cabin cruiser. Based on your description I'm pretty sure it's one of the first 2. Look for the make and model- mine's a Chris Craft (make) 240 EC (model). That'll help us identify it too.
As often as not, the boat's model name will clue you to its length- my 240 EC is 24 feet (and and a few inches) long.
Anyway, take some pics, look for a Hull Identification Number etched into the transom (first 3 characters are code for the manufacturer, last 2 digits are the year it was built).
Where do you live? Add that to your profile, too.
I am so sorry for hijacking the thread everyone ... its just that like I said I am new and didn't know where to begin...that is to say what category, how to post new topics, how to measure, 'a hulk id' number...?huh? anyway I still have no idea...
But my humblest apologies for bad forum etiquette and for all those who were offended by my question to an old post that caught my eye.
I will try elsewhere.
(Thanks all for warm welcomes)
