First off, i hope i posted this thread in the correct section of the forum. If not i apologize to any Administrator/Moderator as i looked all over the forum for a New Member section but couldn't find any. Anyhow, my name's Al and I'm new to the iboats forum but not to forums in general. I'm currently a Super Moderator on a Suzuki Atv forum which I've been a part of for close to 2 years, and I'm also a member on a few other forums as well.

I reside in Northern Ontario Canada and just purchased my first ever boat a few weeks ago, a used 1982 16 ft Rinkerbuilt Fiberglass Tri-hull with a 1982 60 HP Evinrude outboard. Though this boat is new to me in a ownership status it's actually been a part of my family since 1984. However, it was sold along with our family cottage back in 07 and never used by the new owner until i bought it a few weeks ago.


Since then i have been browsing the iboats forum until i decided to join a few days back. I am quite honored to be part of this great forum and hope to gain valuable knowledge and well as find any answers i may have regarding my new/used purchase.

Welcome, big old blue. Lots of smart boat people here.

Northern Ontario, huh!?! Hoping to schedule a little fishing trip up that way in early June.

Yup, Northern Ontario Canada. As far as the fishing goes, it's not bad. Then again i don't fish much, though that may change now that i got myself a boat now. And thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to iboats, and more exciting, to the world of boating. While she can be a temperate lady, she is also the source of great relaxation and family memories. Good luck and sit back and stay a while.
