I have been a member of this group for awhile now and am impressed with the help that is given. Like finding out I can get a new exhaust manifold for $300 cdn vs the $550 I was quoted. Thanks iBoats!!! My girlfriend and me have a 1965 Silverline that we are just finishing. We rebuilt the leg (with help)and redid the interior. New carpeting, seats, side upholstery, and a new doghouse. Not back to orginal, but we like it. (It's now blue and grey instead of brown) We didn't like the brown much. hahaha<br /><br />"Now the craftily inserted plea for help." I would really appreciate your opinion and feedback on a site I created. I'm not making money<br />on it (not yet at least) but thought it would be an interesting resource. Please a look and let me know what you think. I'm thinking of offering all testers a chance to win a $25 Home Depot gift card. Maybe that might help get things going and see where the glitches<br />are. Anyway, back to the boating stuff...<br /><br />Last things to do is rebuild the carb and tap a few bolt holes that the bolts were broken when I removed the exhaust manifold. Also a small problem with the trailer wiring, should put in a relay for the lowering of the leg, and replace a couple of glitchy gauges. Nothing new?! lol<br /><br />Also need to install a windshield (if anyone has ideas on that, it would be appreciated) and then a sea trial. That should be a ton of fun. The controls are getting worn too. Ideas?<br /><br />Thanks again and I look forward to hearing your comments.<br /><br />Randy

Re: On and off topic

No offence intended Napa. It was just so well written, then you left out the important point of your post.<br /> <br />I did take a look at your web page and found it quite interesting. Havent seen anything like it before. I hope it takes off for you. Looks like a great idea. <br /><br />As far as the technical help on the boat it should be posted in the correct forum for the best advice possible.

Re: On and off topic

Randy, I have no idea who you are (and no info about you in your profile), and don't need a review of doctors at this time, so I am not going to give you registration info on myself. Guess just too paranoid of identity theft.<br /><br />Interesting concept, but when dealing with a doctor I would prefer word of mouth recommendations from people I know instead of an interenet website. Just my thoughts.

Re: On and off topic

I did not receive a confirmation email at the addy I correctly provided. I'm now feeling quite glad I put in all bogus information because not getting a confirmation email says "identity theft scam" with a capital S.C.A and M.<br /><br />Do I still qualify for the Home Depot thing?<br /><br />In my part of Canada, if you have a doctor....it's a good one.... and you better not **** him/her off with a bad "review" or you'll have none.<br /><br />My ex was recently telling me about the 3 page letter about her potential new doctor's views on religion, abortion and other topics that she would have to agree to and sign before she would be considered as a patient...

Re: On and off topic

Not making the rounds. Posted on two sites that I found useful and to which I have contributed. <br /><br />I have had some terrific feedback, which I appreciate. And a huge response! Wow. <br /><br />Some people have not received a confirmation email. That seems to be happening when emailing to hotmail. But only sometimes. Go figure. I tested it and it works. Grrrrrrr.<br /><br />Ah well. That has been the only glitch so far - so thanks for all of your help. I seem to have built something that seems to work well. (I have received a lot of email on the site - thanks to "you know who you are". lol)<br /><br />Now to figure out how to incorporate the ideas I have received to make the site better. <br /><br />Once again, thanks for all your help, your feedback, and if your ever in Vancouver BC, look me up. <br /><br />Randy
