There's some good names on this post that have since fell by the wayside. iboats has grown, some good some not so good but nonthless it is still an excellant site. JB has oft been the reciepient of unfair criticism but his input cannot go unrecognized. JB, I thank ya for the time and effort and would still like to buy ya a cup of coffee when ya come through my neck of the wood's this year on your way to LOW!<br /><br />Congrats!!

Awwww, shucks, guys. What I said in 2003 still goes.<br /><br />I have found my Boston Whaler. A 1986 Striper 15. I am going to Aransas Pass to pick it up as soon as this winter weather becomes non-hazardous for driving/towing. Can't afford it, but I WANT it, so I'll bite the bullet.<br /><br />See it here: http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/8/1/82331081.htm <br /><br />(203)

That's a neat idea. If only half of the members sent just $1.00, he could get one heck of a boat.

Id be in on that deal, Looks like iboats could save a passel by just running down to aransas pass and getting the boat for us, If they would discount parts to the dealer they could probably pick it up for a song, then split the bill with us. :D

Yea I might find a dollar or two for that idea there bondo.<br />JB good choice there I knew an old salt like you wouldn't run around boatless for long.<br />If I ever make up my mind to change boat style that right there will be my choice of boats.<br />All purpose rig, bass,cats or musky.<br />Long may you live and prosper JB.

I think a lap top with a satalite link on his boat would be nice so that he can continue what he does best! If he's fishn, he aint here! :( I'm thinkin by now he has learned to use most of his fingers to type with now.<br /><br />Still wunder what happn'd to Derwood? :)
