How did you find ***boat.net?

[superV]

My story goes like this it was about 3yrs ago and an Old Man had a 23'Glasstron Jet sittin in his back yard. I kept leaving notes on his door about the boat, and finally one day i got the call.I showed up to his house to find a 90yr old man who was from parker and had owned this jet since new. After talking for some time he began to tell my the he had learned every thing he know about jets from reading hot boat since the 70s. He did not mention the web site but he did put the term in my head so the next day when i got to work i did a search and here i am today been hook ever since! That focker I had been into boats for some time but only once i moved to st.Louis so for obvisious resons i did not know of any hot boats or see them. And growing up as a kid in SoCal everything was cool so it did not dawn on me till then. Know its a full blown addiction!:frown:
So tell me your story?

I had just bought my 78 Daytona and needed some info. I did a search on Google for "Hot Boats" and there I was!
When I came on, I saw a bunch of drama about Topless and stuff and you guys intimidated me, so I just lurked for a few months.

Lost one of my favorite ***boat Magazines, the article about the sunken Hydro in Havasu they found a few years ago....so I went online and searched to see if I could order back issues...and found the forums.......been here ever since.

Topless? I thought you were her before her?
But I too lurk for sometime!

I used to subscribe to the rag and looked it up on the internet, been on since. Now and then post a reply.

Well since you asked here is the breakdown of unique visits from yesterday. This data is only for the main site though, it does not include the forum traffic. Generaly when I sit down and do the math the forums do a bit more traffic than the main site. It does show where everyone came from though.
(Each number here represents a person visiting the site, not how many times they viewed a page. That would be page views.)

Actually yes I did. Had several responses to my very first post about it and someone scanned it for me and emailed it, then I got the magazine from ***boat later on. Its actually been posted as a thread a few times since....you can search under Sunken Beauty I think and Pull it up.....maybe someone else remembers the title of the latest thread or still has the pics from the article, wasnt too long ago. Very good article, sank on its maiden voyage and was found some 20 years later in incredibly good condition.

After Her454 found it, she came back in the bedroom and woke me up, she was so excited. You should have seen her. So I signed up too.
Just check our member numbers if you don't believe me...

Subscribe to the mag when they went on-line(7-8 years ago??), even subscribed to the on-line mag for awhile. Now I do neither.
