Where established members can do minor business of selling, trading and bartering.

The Iboats classifieds is entirely too restrictive as it stands and should be revamped if they would like to include the hundreds of thousands of members in a simpla assed thing that everyone else does - trade.

The classifieds as presented now are for practically nothing. New boats, used boats, etc. I'm talking about used seats, a damn downrigger with tons of rust (come on guys - you can't honestly want to collect some money on dude's old assed rusty downrigger that should go for like a buck fifty?????????????), a used anchor, a seat, a set of used assed seats, etc.

Gotta make a buck - then institute a $5 plan or something. This is not 10k or beteer (or less) boats, this is $5 stuff here.

Let's get in the now and work something out.

Re: We need a member classified section

It should be staggered on the amount anyne wants to sell. We need expanded categories as well. The whole new boats/used boats thing is beyond played. Let's step up to the now and offer used gear of every style, type and condition.

Make it a by the selling price kind of thing but with a ton of options - interiors/carpet/seats/seating/mounts/fishfinders/radar/biminis/flooring/bunk treatment/ the options are actually limitless and not having something of this nature is ignoring the gazillions of users on here.

$0-$100...........2%
$100-$500........5%
Etc.........ad nausem.

Every other board has this - why don't we?

I would say put me in charge of making it happen but I'm retired and should be doing nothing in my old age at 40. My wife has put me incharge of her nnsense and I'm kicking myself - ever try to upload 4352 image files that are 3-12 megs each???? LMAO.

Has been discussed before . . . You need to remember this site is a marine stuff for sale site. Primarily a new stuff site, and there are other avenues . . .

Got to go to bed. Hope to see something special happening soon.


Also - we need to update our servers as they are slow as hell. Sooooooo not right for a top of the line forum. Come on guys - this forum generates a ton of money for this site - let's get it up to speed.

I'm sorry - I may have been a lurker for a couple of years but I am not a quitter. US Navy SpecOps was not acheived by quitting.

I'm here now and I'm going to shake things up. I may leave, MAYBE, not likely. I like this site. Welcome to my world.

Hey QC!!!! You are the best as far as we can tell!!!

We can't wait to get you on our craft - having de fun - sucking down a brew - (or a very nice all natural drink mixture - unlike this site in it's current configuration - we believe in providing everyone with what they need/maybe what they want lol) a kick *** vodka concoction or a nice pair of glasses to stand the watch. No fear brother - watches are short and sweet and you can get back to play right away. Long watches cause all manner of nonsense that we just don't need. :)

You come to Central AL very often or to the Caribbean very often?

He was looking at us and running away the whole time - I have 42 images of him doing his thing.

My most recent foray into a thicket with eons of time spent trying to get a decent shot of a decent deer.

Thought you all might enjoy it. This particular individual took all my skill to get five frames. I took 83 frames. Just saying.

Re: We need a member classified section

nice buck man that thing is huge! we have a 12 and a 14 pointer that always come in my back yard. the does seem to run away, but the bucks wow they hold their ground... maybe because i have an apple lol, but urs seem bigger, one day a bear climed up a huge freaking water tower by my house, and one time"up north" i got told by a mamma bear i was too close to her cub! oh yeah and we made a big circle fire pit (10 feet in diameter) and the walls are made of two rows of retaining wall blocks and there was 9 deer (not uncommon) but 6 HAD THEIR FRONT HOVES ON THE WALL THATS ABOUT A FOOT HIGH! smoke was coming out of their mouths because it was winter and snow everywhere, and they where facing the middle. i swear on my life, it was the most rediculous thing ever, when i came back with the camera they werent all in position anymore, im still mad to this day, just one picture and i bet i coulda made alot of money off that. when certain elements are near for long enough its only probability, but this will be hard to top, but i have time yet...and im ready... i do have a kinda funny pic though let me look threw my computor for a sec...

it has been beat to death here. this is just one http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=222438&highlight=parts+for+sale
the mods have worked very hard, but have not come up with a reasonable, solution, logistics, moderation, collection. we actually would like to be able to do a free classified for members. but if it happens it will be in the future, and not right away. so just remember, it is on our list or things we would like to do. there is much more than just setting up a website, involved.

Very nice pics......and pets. That's what I call a back yard! I'm envious. Can you divulge your general location?
What's up with the boat that appears to be missing a transom?
Would this have anything to do with your interest in the ads?
(not interested - just needling):D

Re: We need a member classified section

haha, well for me im 5 minutes from milwaukee and 15 from the lakefront, in brookfield, we are super close to the city which makes the turkeys somewhat of a suprise that started to come around this year but i guess there out there, like a month ago i was coming home from fishing, there was a fox at my driveway just hanging out and he wasnt scared at all, he was only like 20 feet away, that was kind of neat. speaking of weird animal stuff one time a squirel sat on my foot...lol the boat just has a lower transom than you can see from the angle, but i did take out the rotten wood and fiberglass properly in the back, but i bought a good shell for 50$ at an auction and just used that boats trailer and motor, a 66 evinrude 40... and i wouldnt expect you to be interested in it.. haha if theres ever a "free section" i might end up there if i dont dump it first...
