Hello everyone!!
My name is Ruben, love the sea, boating and fishing are the things I enjoy the most.
Before, always trying to catch a ride then I had the opportunity and decided to go on my own, about a year ago I bought my first boat, a 2K Explorer 225.
With almost twelve years on it I had to put some TLC, but it has paid off.
I want to thank everyone for the help and support in this forum..

Happy New Year 2012!!

Ruben,

    Welcome, and Happy New Year.  I like your boat, it is sweet.  I have always admired the dark hulled boats for some reason, I don't know if there are any disadvantages that come with the dark hull, but they look handsome.

    Welcome, you will enjoy visiting this site.  OK, enjoy that fancy boat of yours !!

    Cheers, T.

As do I Trace, but they are very labor intensive to keep them looking good...

Hi guys, my name is Ryan. I live in Louisiana and I've just recently aquired a 1987 Aquasport 170 that I have just fallen in love with. She's sporting a 1996 Evinrude 88 spl on the back end and needs a little tlc. I love hunting, fishing, spending lots of time with my 2 sons and wife, and pretty much anything else to do with the outdoors. I look forward to bringing this beauty back up to top knotch condition and have found a load of good info from you guys on this site already. I'll post up some pictures of her when I get back home in a couple months. Working in Michigan for the time being  :( . See ya around!

Welcome aboard Ryan.
Nice intro, that's the way you do it.

Don't forget the pics.

I tried to attach a couple pics I have downloaded to my laptop from my phone but it says the files are invalid?

Do you do photobucket?  Have you down-sized your pics to 640 X 480?  And BTW, an excellent introduction!  Welcome aboard, you have found the best boat owners (and guys who used to build them!!) site in the universe!!  

[Rhino67]

Yeah I forgot all about photobucket, thanks.

It won't let me post the other photo from the front. Says the image may only be 800 pixels wide but the pic is sized down to 599 x 447 already.

It's not you, it's this site.
Happens to me too. You just need to keep trying. Delete, retry, swear :x
Eventually it will post.

Good luck.
