    It's been a blast and I, for one, have a tremendous respect and appreciation for what you have built. Thanks

    I think I came on sometime in '99 after seeing the link on Baker Marine's website. I was on their site after buying my Rapid Craft that originally was sold by them. I still have the boat and it's hard to believe it's been that long.

    Oh, and the first time I viewed the site it was on a dial-up with a Pentium 166 that had a gargantuan 2 gigabyte hard drive (I was the big shot in my college dorm when I got it too...)

    Thanks Greg for the "history" article. It's always great to get background info.
    I "think" I remember joining after doing a search for some engine parts and I found the "buy & sell" section. (I was "heavy" into looking at the buy & sell section for many months.) Either that, or someone recommended the site first????? Not sure which way it went???
    Recently, I've had many discussions with customers about the feature article of my shop. Especially from newer customers and international customers.
    Look forward to many more feature articles with great looking boats!
    Thanks,

    I remember stealing pictures and putting them up on a Proxima projector before one of my staff meetings. Folks walked in and all they saw was Jeff Yammers V-King in full size across the wall. It shared a little insight that I have a love of fast boats.
