I was thinking about how clueless I was about boats before I found this Forum. I think the biggest thing that I've learned was how to respect an inboard and how to be a good passenger on other's boats. Thanks Guys.

No doubt, this site is awesome. My craft would be in a lot worse shape if it weren't for this site.

Right on! I just found this board. I have no close friends with inboards, and had no clue where I could get friendly useful advice. This is the best tool an owner could have. Now if I could only find some time to hook up with some give a pull/take a pull deals....

The wife wonders if I might become addicted to the board - I tell her, just think of the OTHER things a guy could be doing on the internet !

Last year I sold my 88' MC and found the 93' S&S on this forum.
It is a wealth of information and good fellowship with like minded people.
As I mentioned in an earlier thread, Thanks Team Talk! Great Job!

Tru dat!!!!! :D

This site is great, good people on here and it's nice to come to a place where everyone has a few common interests, Mastercrafts, Skiing or Wakeboarding, and in general, having a good time on the water.
Lastly, I have definetely got some good advice on many different subjects from boat repairs, to getting assistance on a project (thanks Mag! :wavey: ) to personal decision type advice.
Glad we have this site to come too!

I have found a wealth of info here. I dont have ANYONE near me with real skiboats, so I had no one to ask questions. what have I found here??
I found some great recommendations of places to buy parts here, found out Rambo marine stocks the marker lamp I busted backing my MC in my garage, I have gotten great technical advice, great skiing advice, equipment advice, started skiing on 60 ft rope, I got on "the LIST", get to see Skeelers cool pics, good propeller advice, and most recently Doug, Stevo, markp and a few others re-ignited my quest to deep water start on one ski.(crossing my fingers).

SO this place is IT!! I only hope I can be a contributing member and help someone else out. :)

this board has helped me with EVERY aspect of Ski Boat Ownership!

it's also helped me with family issues. ie: "how much do I pay the preacher for funeral"
it's given me a place to vent
it's given me a place to brag about my kids.
it's given me a place to laugh.


damn, I need a life:cool:

I got to tell ya...I was felling pretty bad about my boat always giving me problems. It is nice to know your not alone, and that there are great people who are willing to give you advice on how they fixed theirs. This fourm has been a life saver and a boat saver. I got to tell you I was getting really frustrated with it. This is my first boat ever so I did not know what to expect. Thanks to all of you who have given me help and guidance.

This site gives me something to do.

When it was down a few weeks ago, the days were REALLY long. It can get boring here without a boat.

This site is a great site to learn about our boats, and a whole lot of other things. Although I am not a frequent poster, I am on here reading what others have to say about things quite often.

This site is helping me spend my money. Before I came here a few weeks ago, I never considered buying a new ski, upgrading my stereo, trying an airchair again... Now I am (considering it :rolleyes: )

But I'm going to resist that "new boat" urge.
