Hi,
My name is Greg. I go by Doc on here (and all of my other forums). I love boating. I can't wait for summertime. I think this forum will help us all get through. I plan to share lots of boating pics along with plenty of boating talk to help get us through the next few months.
I hope you'll join up.
Thanks,

Hi I'm Jerry, I'm boatless in case you missed my earlier post. But boats are something I've always been interested in and hope to find some fun in this forum.

[jim_slagle]

Hi, I'm Jim. Like Jerry I don't have a boat right now. I'm retired and my wife only has a few years left to work. Our retirement place is close to a large lake here in Virginia and the boat will come when we move.

[waybomb]

I'm here Doc.

Can I put up my avatar?

[bdavis]

Hey everyone! I'm Brian! I own a 2007 princecraft fishing boat. It has a 40hp yamaha, subfloor, side drive, livewell. Perfect boat for the type of boating I do.......some fishing, pulling the kids on the tube, just going for a short ride around the lake. Works for me!

[Doc]

Welcome everyone!

Fred, sure you can put up your avatar. If you have trouble let me know, I haven't increased the size for them yet. I'll get a round to it.

bdavis, welcome. I'm glad you found us and signed up. Are you a member of FF also?

[Doc]

Hi Josh. Glad you did an intro.
I'll 2nd that Josh is the wakeboard guy, plus he's my SIL (Son-in-law) :D :thumb: and an all around good guy. :thumb:

Fred & Brian, I'll get the avatar problem fixed later today. Sorry bout that guys. I hadn't had time to even look at the avatar settings. :pat: (but I did bring the smilies over from FF)

edit to add:
I just updated the avatar and sig settings. No one was allowed to have a custom avatar by default
All fixed now.

Hi everyone! My name is Bethany. I am boatless, but hopefully I will be able to persuade my husband into getting one really soon :) Any tips on how to accomplish that would be appreciated :D

[OhioTC18]

Hiya Bethany. Don't worry I'm boatless as well, but we have a major difference. I probably won't get one due to the other obligations I have around the homestead.

[Doc]

Hi Bethany, I'm glad you joined up and ....I'm glad your boatless. That means you can ride with us. We need you youngun's along to keep us going. :thumb: :beer:

For Jerry, and those who don't know, Bethany is my youngest daughter. :D She's been boating since she could walk. :D

I kinda thought there was a family resemblance there. I recognized the name. Now she needs to convince Hubby that a boat is in order (along with Dad's help) :)

[Crums]

I have put together a sales presentation for her husband high lighting all of the pluses a boat would bring to there quality of life. Don't get me wrong, I as well as Doc like having them on our boat but nothing beats having your own!

[Doc]

:rofl: Good point Fred. ...and I hadn't even thought of that. :pat: :D

We even bought an SUV with the intention of pulling a boat behing there someday. I am sure that as soon as he sees Crum's presentation he will be fully sold on the idea of being a boat owner. I guess I just need to be patient. :yuk:

Yep, be patient, and sell a lot of insurance so you get a 15,000 dollar bonus check!!! That's all it takes. :D

You make it sound so easy :( If any of you out there live in Ohio and need insurance, keep me in mind. I sell personal and commercial lines so hit me up if you need: homeowners, auto, BOAT OWNERS, renters, condo, business owners or anything else other than life (I am not licensed to sell that). You all could help me buy our first boat :thumb:

[Bt Doctur]

didnt find it anywhere but can you list items for sale on this board?

[Doc]

Welcome Boat Doctor. I'm a computer Doctor. :D

I'm glad you found us and signed up. I'm curious. Did my thread for mechanic wanted help get you here? If so I'm happy to see it's working.
As boating season gets closer I hope we gain a whole lot of new members. I present the idea to my boat club tomorrow night. I hope some of them will sign up.

Yep you can list items for sale on here in the classified forum. It's hiding down here the bottom of the index page. Here' s a link: http://www.netboattalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=16

[Crums]

Hey Spivey, looks like a great boat! Glad to see you on here!

[Bt Doctur]

It would be nice to see where your from also. Type of power ,type drive,etc.
sometimes it`s easier to walk you thru the troubleshooting instead of typing back and forth and leaving a critical part out. such as having a no spark condition and leaving off:
lanyard switch , tach, harness plug,etc. because sometimes we assume your thinking like us.
Let`s all hope for a Safe Boating season in `08 and make sure we carry the required equipment and then some , to go out and return safely.
Might want to consider something that is done with pilots

[Doc]

Welcome Wayne. I'm glad you found us and joined up.
Congrats on your boating rebuild project. Sure would love to see pics of it if you have any.
If we are lucky we might be able to get in the water by the end of April. Mid May is more realistic. Good luck to you for April 15th. :thumb:

[wirenut]

Ijust purchased a Angler 204w/a can't wait to get back on the waters .It's been about 3-4 yrs. since my last boat.

[Doc]

Hi Luis! Welcome back to the water. We've all had our times away from boating and it's always exciting to get back on the water. Every season that first time out is exhilarating!
I'm glad you found us here on Net Boat Talk. We have an offical boat doctor here who knows everything about the mechanics of these puppies, and lots of other boaters with all kinds of experience in various aspects of boating. So let the questions fly. :thumb:

Hi David,
Welcome to Net Boat Talk. Congrats on the new boat. Sure sounds like a nice one. 276 is a lot of boat. What motor do you have in it? Be sure to share some pics when you get a chance. We all like looking at boats.
11 days! You sure are closer to getting it wet than I am. Lucky duck!

One word of advise; when docking or close to anything else, take it as slow as you possibly can. you'll get the hang of it and no harm will be done. Slow is the way to go (until you are on the open water).
Where bouts do you plan to boat?

[Trigger]

Hi everyone, I’m Aric and am currently in Colorado Springs. I have a 1993 Correct Craft Ski Nautique. It’s been a long winter here and I can’t wait to get on the water. I was thinking of pulling the boat out of storage and prep it for the summer but then it decided to snow here yesterday (6 inches worth). So maybe next week it will be warmer.

[Doc]

Hi Trigger! Glad you found us here on Net Boat Talk, signed up and did an intro. Rep points for you!
My Son in law is a correct craft fanatic (crums here on NBT). He has the 89 model and my son bought another 89 model a couple of years ago. Both have them set up with the towers, speakers lights etc. Quite a set up. Pics in the pics thread. They are like the corvette of ski boats. They handle awesome! And hold their value.
6"s of snow! :eek: I feel for you. In Southern Ohio we are up to 72 already today. I love it, and am so ready for boating season!!!!!
Enjoy and post often!

Alright. Rep points for you!!!! I hope you can get some of them to join.
I'll fix you (or any boating community) up with a private area where you all can also talk amongst yourselves without regular members being able to see it. A popular feature on another forum I run.

Dang Matt, that's a heck of a tie up! Sounds like my kind of party, make sure you take lots of pics!

[ttownmatt]

We do not have pics from last year but promise some this year. My daughter is heavy in to photograph and i'll make sure she gets pics. We have been land locked this year so far we broke the trailor last fall putting the boat on and have to get it welded before we hit the lake. just untarped her tonight and shes a dirty pig. me and my daughter spent three hours cleaning her up. We are dyeing to get her wet. I'm taking tommorow off from work to get her fired up and ready to go, it's been a too long of a winter. It looks like memorial day weekend is the first weekend for us because of all the graduations we have to attend. please check out our boat pics on our album.
