my earliest memory with hotboat is about 7 weeks ago when i was searching for a 240 Hallett to buy and stumbled upon one on Hotboat. i ended up buying it and i think i got a great deal. i can't wait to get it out more then just the test drive. since then i have been on this site almost every day. everybody seems very cool and i really like checking out all the pictures and videos.

You know, that's what makes this place great... old and new posters.

I actually was posting (very little) on the old HB back in the day and then checked out for a while.....when I came back looking for it one day.....it was gone!
I was Googeling for info on Schiadas one day and found another boating site that eventually led me here. I've been hanging out with a bunch of the folks here for a number of years now in various places.
I agree that meeting and hanging out with folks in person changes things, not only cuz you think twice about what you say but I think even more importantly you have a much better feel for when someone is just having fun with you vs. just taking shots!!
Thanks Vic and everyone else for keeping this a cool place to hang out!!

My first HotBoat memory was quite bad actually!
Couldnt register cuz I was not american, the anti-bot filter thought I was a russian virus or something like that lol
However, the HotBoat staff fixed it for me

I just subscribed to Hotboat magazine.
Believe 1/2 of what you see and nothing of what you hear.

When the wife and I decided to get back into boats in 2005, I was doing a lot of internet searches. Like 78Southwind, I came across CCCB and Southwindjetboat.com. It led me to HotBoat.com. SWJBs.com was a site run by my cousin's kid. HB got me in touch with both my cousin's kids, with whom we lost track of after moving a lot with work.

Thank you. Yes, he was a cool guy and really easy to deal with. I am headed out there to take it out New Year's Day. I hope the weather is good.
