Any boaters on SMC?

[Lincoln Myers]

We have always wanted a boat (just what I need, another hobby). Well we finally got one this June. It's a 1974 Sea Sprite 15' Open Bow with a 1974 65 HP (3 cylinder) Mercury Outboard motor. We love it. I have found a few forums online and wondered if there are any SMCers who love boating as much as woodworking and could steer me to some other online resources for boating information.

Thanks a lot for any help. Linc.

Sea Men Yes! But real boats have sails and don't make all that noise and stink.:p
Sorry Lincoln, a 100 year fued can't stop over night.
Boat US does a lot with parts, supplies and forums on all of the above. They are big on boater safety and boater's rights.
West Marine is in the parts business too and is actually owned by Boat US. or one of its parent groups. Many of there parts locally are of higher quality.

Mom always said: " 2nd happiest day of your life is when you get your first boat.
Happiest day is when you get rid of it.":D :D

Is that the pup sitting next to it? lol
Sorry, couldn't resist that one.:)
I have a small bass boat, but it's been in storage since 83.
