I was the boating forums site Moderator at the time that the OT Boat forum was created. Before that they has us up with the 14 year-old crew chiefs in the RC car and truck forum. Most boaters didn't want to go up there. Go ahead and take a look for yourself as to what we'd have to deal with and you'll see why we needed our own.
This stickie could have been unpinned a long time ago as the OT boat forum isn't being used that much but there it is if you want to use it and not deal with the kiddies.
If you want to chat about what song you're listening to at the moment then head that-away.
