The official hotboat.com "We get letters" thread

Isn't boating about 1) boats; 2) socializing?

IMO: It almost sounds like some people want a "boat building" technical only website instead of a "boating" website. If people venture out on this site they can see it has plenty of both.

Forums are as strong as the content their members add to the site.
You want more boat builds? Post it
You want more socializing? Post it
You want more boating content? Post it
You want more pics? Post it
You want "it" post "it". It's that simple.

Just stop sitting there behind your keyboard complaining that you're not getting what you want...complaining isn't going to change it. Bring what you want to the forum and people will appreciate you more for it.

I like the three Bs.................beer, bikinis and boats not necessarily in the order.

maybe this has been asked, but have you thought about a "like or thanks" button, it works on some and not on others.

Boating is TOTALLY about socializing....... I will never race in a serious way but I like to SOCIALIZE with FRIENDS while I watch the races...

I dont give a rats ass if im on my dads pontoon, my nephews roll bar boat, my kayaks OR in a duffy buzzing around Naples/Belmont Shores/Marina Pacifica it's social... Take the duffy on Thursday nights to watch the municipal band in the park at the stadium... Raft up 10 boats with friends... Float down the ozark streams in my kayaks or canoes...

It's social, much like the sandbar discussion... That is IF your a social type of person...

The ride to Catalina on the express is social...

Prolly the LEAST social boating I do is fishing from my kayaks but I do enjoy the company IF someone likes to spend HOURS teasing the bass with plastic worms like I do...

It's social... And I will never be a racer but that doesn't make me any LESS of a boater... I boat, I grill, I eat, I drink, I listen to music, sometimes go out in the dark with my wife (but thats a story for another day)... Yes, screwing on boats is a GREAT social activity, the rocking can work in your favor if your timing is good...

BOATING IS SOCIAL...


My ? to HOTBOAT "WE-GET-LETTERS"... "How can people NOT consider boating a social activity and how can those same people expect a boating site to be void of SOCIAL topics/discussions"???






^^^^ Look at all the boats, are they BOATING or Socializing???
