    A note from the owners of iboats to dockside

    Summer is finally just around the corner! It’s been another long winter but we’re glad we could spent it all together here on the iboats' boards helping the time to pass until we could get out on the water and on our boats again.<br /><br />The traffic to the message boards is picking up as it...

If you all can...

I am mostly boating in reservoirs at 5,000 ft elevation and above so the extra HP is really needed. I find that fully loaded...

    Dockside isn't in the basement/cellar any more!

    Sorry cellar dwellars but dockside isn't at the bottom of the iboats boards any longer... Time to start singing "Movin on up" from the Jefferson's. Congrats on the promotion.<br /><br />We also hope you enjoy the new basement forums where you can post with other owners that own the same boat...

    Where are you going Memorial weekend?

    To start this off, I'm taking the family down to Vegas (6.5 hour drive) to visit some friends and then try out the new boat on Lake Meade. The air temp is great here in Utah finally but the water temp is very frigid (under 55) due to the late snow runoff into the lakes. What are all of you...

    Ever shot a machine gun?

    I went out with a friend a few days ago and we shot a fully auto uzi and Mac11 SMG. What a great time! If any of you ever have wanted to shoot a machine gun and haven't, it is worth it! In most states you can go to a local gun shop that rents them and give it a try if you ever wondered what...

    How much to spend on a new boat windshield

    Lets assume that you have a boat 5 years or older. Your kid leans up against the windshield and it busts (happens all the time). What is the maximum amount would you be willing to spend for complete replacement glass and frame?<br /><br />Assume that the replacement is modern-style curved...

    3 of our 4 wonderful iboats moderators were able to steal a few days away from their families and homes and come visit us here at the iboats headquarters last week. We had a great time and may I be the first to say that you are all very lucky to have such dedicated and great people in your...

    RC modeling taken to the extreme

    I have loved anything to do with flying all my life. The following individuals have taken the RC (remote control) part of flying way past extreme. Pretty cool though. Note that the jet engines alone on the B52 cost over $40,000!<br /><br /> http://gallery.colofinder.net/b52-model <br /><br...

    Funny iboats call

    We don't want to make fun of any customer that calls. This is just sharing ;) I heard of a great call that just happened 5 minutes ago. One of our customer service people was just talking to a man about some life jackets and we asked him his chest size. He paused and said, "Wait a minute."...

    iboats engine techs, why do you stay on iboats?

    I posted a similar topic in the dockside chat area and some of us thought it would be very appropriate to also ask the question to our great members up here in the engine topics as well. Once again, thanks for your countless hours helping so many boaters with engine questions/problems! Your...

    For all you low # of posts, long-time iboats members

    It amazes me how many people there are like popuptarget who are long-time iboats members/fans, visit our boards regularly, and their post numbers do not reflect how much time they have spent sharing our conversations with us. I think they may be the silent majority! We'd love to hear from...

    Why do you stay on iboats?

    With a few long-time members contemplating leaving your iboats family because of various reasons, I thought it might be a refreshing idea for the rest of us to post why we enjoy coming here day after day, month after month, etc.<br /><br />As for me, I work here. ;) <br /><br />PS - 2004 Jan 1...
