    Just an Idea for the forums to bounce off the Mods

    Hey Guys and Gals, I know we don't allow buying/selling in the open forums, but here's a thought about that may lead to a few other things. How about adding to the Iboats forums a "members only premium section". I belong to a Subaru forum that does something similar, in fact that's where I...
