Stop Lurking and Start Posting!! Introduce Yourself Here!

[CLM65]

I've been lurking for a while, and posting for the last week or so, so it's about time I said hello.  My name is Craig, and after growing up in NJ, I came to Florida in 1983 for college and never left.  I've lived in Crystal River for about 17 years now.  I'm on my second Aquasport now, a 2002 205 Osprey.  Prior to that I had a 1996 200 Osprey.

I like boating (obviously), fishing, diving, and the somewhat local Tampa Bay sports teams (Bucs, Rays, Lightning, and of course my alma mater, the Bulls).

Although I've only been on this site a short while, I must say it is a whole lot friendlier than another well known boating forum that I visit.  I've yet to see any degrading comments, name calling, slander, etc.  This is the way it should be!

Thanks for allowing me to be part of the family!

Craig, are you suggesting THT is not all that friendly?  

[CLM65]

Gee Bob, what makes you think I was talking about THT?

Now don't get me wrong, there are alot of nice, helpful, knowledgeable people on that site, and I do still visit it regularly.  But there are quite a few people that are somewhat...abrasive?

By the way, did you get the PM I sent last night?

Yes I did Craig.  PL used to do the white insert, it looks excellent, just another way of doing things, some like the contrast/breakup that a colored insert provides, some like the clean, all white look...

Hello Out there,
  I hope this post finds you well.   I recently purchased an Osprey 225 with Ocean Pro 250 and wanted to join this forum to learn things about my newest toy. Initially I wanted a 23 Dorado and this was a more affordable alternative.   I live in Crawfordville, Florida (small resort like town south of Tally) and look forward to learning from you guys.  I will have an Evan Williams and Pepsi.

Hello ive been a lurker for a while and finally decided to get on here. I just picked up a old proline flatback 20 and am about to start the resto on her.

Hi backdraft,  I am pretty new here myself.  Glad you decided to join also. Good luck with the Pro line project.

[seabob4]

Welcome backdraft!  Oddly, not only am I an ex-Aquasport employee, I'm also an ex-Proline employee...although LONG after your boat was built, so I can't help you there!

But welcome!!

THanks for the welcoming, i tried to post a pic of my boat but it said it was too large?
