There are currently 23 different Forums offered on iboats.com that focus on various specific boating, marine engines, fishing, sailing, trailers, water activities and destination topics. iboats.com also recently added an additional 99 other boat-brand specific Forums where boaters can help or exchange information with others who own the same boat brand.

Free of charge, anybody can go online and access the iboats.com Forums, do key-word or topic-specific searches, and read both the questions and answers online. Thousands of people read the Forums daily. Asking a question in the Forums is also free of charge but does require that the person register as a “member” in order to receive a password that permits the person to do future postings in the Forums.
