Re: nominate your faveroute information thread !

lol.......and that poster that got the keyboard in the mail was VERY VERY greatful. as it did help them continue posting and helping others !

and you are correct.....it is the iboats team of friends here that keeps us going.

when i was doing the hull extension thread.....i would work at the store all day.....go to the boat ans work sometimes till 2 am or later.
then come back and upload the progress to iboats.

my reward for the days work, was to be able to upload the progress each night.
the comments and help i got from the forum was what helped me to keep plugging on the project....
that was a ton of work...especially the fairing. but iboats made it all worth it.

now that the project is nearing completion, sea tryals are sucessful, im looking forward to finishing the project....but mostly to post the progress to the forum, and hopefully inspire others, so they wont be afraid of simple repairs.

the real great thing is letting other boaters know that THEY CAN DO THIS. !

. Ok, disregard what I said. I guess my mouth overtook my brain again!!!:facepalm:
Seriously, I have learned soooooo much from sooooooo many people here on the forum and have been challenged to search out information and ideas. It's very difficult to pinpoint them all. No one knows it all so it's nice to have so many with so much experience willing to chime in and give us all their 2? worth. Just glad to be a part of it all.

Carry On!!!!

Re: nominate your faveroute information thread !

I'll add my .02 cents.... I am relatively new to iboats, so I am sure that there have been some great threads in the annals and archives that just haven't found yet....

Although I am not an I/O boat owner, PMC's pix & vids of cross checking his transom for square & perpendicular to the centerline of the boat were clear & well thought out. It was easy to follow & understand, the hallmark of all the other nominated threads. And he had the foresight to save the donor boat transom skin to help w/ keyhole placement on the Lancer.

WOG's bench & JDA1975's Pontoon benches upholstery threads are both good stuff. JDA's Skeeter thread earns a nomination from me as well.

Every other suggestion so far is absolutely seconded!

I may edit this in the near future as additional good threads occur to me....

Re: nominate your Favorite information thread !

I don't have any suggestions but I felt I needed to make my first post here:

I have been an 'outsider looking in,' so to speak, for many years. The information in this forum has been priceless to several of my floating projects. I never felt like I needed to chime in and post something because someone else had already covered it. A shut mouth is harder to get a foot in!

Nice work guys, great forum and thanks for many years of confidence building and guidance! (whether it made more or less work for myself)
