Nice job CB  
Miky - you've maxed out the size on your Sig image.  Nice looking boat BTW.

Everyone is proud of their boat and wants to paste images of it everywhere - the idea is to keep the images small to avoid having to scroll a lot while reading the posts.  Browse places like THT and you have to scroll over a foot just to read two posts.  Believe it or not, some people are still using screen resolutions of 800x600 and with the added framework of the forum software they might have to scroll right and left with 640x480 images.

Rick i do agree with that having to scroll through a lot of stuff when reading a post, well hopfully i at least got this picture thing down haha thanks for your help guys!

Ion,
She's a beaut!  Even have the original trailer!  How are the rollers treating her?  And the proper color Bimini Top with the white hull...

Well done, sir!

Boat, motor and trailer are all 2003.  Just replaced the hog clips last year.  I want to change rollers over to the no mark kind as the black ones can leave streaks on the front of the hull when loading.  I need to replace some of the hardware holding the brackets in place besides that all is good.

Any suggestion on prop size for this with 175 Johnson?  I see people saying they get 37 WOT but I can only get to 30-32 WOT.  Miky what your prop size?

Nice looking boat!

[miky2884]

My prop is a 19 in pitch that allows me to get out of the hole faster but i loose a little bit on the top end , i only have a 150hp but i can get 35-37 mph out of her on less then a half barrel of fuel and max 2 people on the boat. This boat really needs at least a 175 a 200 would be real nice the guy who ordered my boat skimped out on the motor with only going with a 150 that's my only regret with the boat, but like i said she still moves along just fine. Greg here is another pic of my hull after i took off the stripe and the fish decal

ok cant get the pic up i made it as small as possible on photobucket and its telling me it still has to many pixels!!! I GIVE UP!!! haha

FIGURES LOL did you have to resize it?  .....

Milky,
Try this:

1: Go to your Bucket account, open and double click on this (the one you gave me the link to) photo.

2. Place cursor on the top left of photo, tool bar will appear, place cursor on EDIT then click on RESIZE

3. In a few moments a new window will open (call it the re-size window) with your photo and a tool bar above it.
    Note the photo size in the tool bar. This photo will be 1022pix X 733pix. Since this site (Classic Aquasport) only limits posted       photos to 800 pix wide X 600 pix long you must re-size it in order to post it. So.....

4. Photo Bucket has preset sizes you can use. They are in a 4:3 ratio and you will notice them in the toolbar just below the width measurement (1022px in this case). Also notice that you can manually enter the pixel size for both width and height. Also note that there are two selections you can make when manually selecting the number of pixels. Unless you're a photo genius  
make sure you have the " keep proportions" box checked. This keeps your photo in the standard 4:3 ratio mentioned above. Why is this important? Under normal conditions, you hold the camera in the standard position and your photo is taken in the 4:3 ratio. Tilting the camera on end (like your sig pic) alters the width to height ratio. By leaving the keep proportion box checked, you can enter 600 px (or lower) in the height box and the width will automatically change for a proper photo size. Remember, if the numbers are greater than 800 for the width and 600 for the height, the photo is too large to post on the Aqua site. You must re-size!

5. This is where most members screw up. :o  After you set the proper size you must do two (2) additional steps. First, click on the APPLY button on the right side of the tool box. Nothing much will seem to happen. Now scroll down and click on the
Replace Original button. It's located underneath and to the right of your photo. If you do not complete this step, you will never place the proper size photo on the Aqua site. This is the thing most members do not do.

6.After clicking on the Replace Original button, the screen will take a few moments to do its thing and a new window will magically appear. Scroll down and look to the left and you will notice several options for "sharing your photo". Click on the bottom one and notice how a little yellow box appears to the left saying "copied".

That's it, you're done.
Go back to your post and place your re-sized photo into the post where you want it by pushing "Ctrl + V" (at the same time) and it will appear as a link. By previewing your post before submitting, you can check that you did everything correctly and that the link now appears as the photo.

Try it. You'll like it.

hahaha look dad i did it!!!!!!!!!!!  

thanks bob, anywhere here is the hull with everything taken off of it i did leave the aquasport decal thats a must i think the full looks much cleaner with out all of the decals to much going on

[Capt. Bob]

Very good Milky.    

One last suggestion.

When resizing, while the Aqua site permits 800 x 600 (like your last post) size photos, we try a self imposed size limit of 640 x 480. For a photo like this, you can even go smaller.

In some instances, the 800 x 600 helps showing detail like print or wire routing but for the most part the smaller size works fine and is in keeping with Rick's earlier post on reducing the scroll in reading posts for those running lower screen resolutions.

640 x 480


320 x 240



See, still looks great.

Now start posting all those photos you talked about.
