When I joined I boats I thought it was a great resource on boating related issues and items. The I boats shop does continue to have useful items for sale. When a guy needed a referal or a specific part not sold through I boats he was helped in any which way possible. I m back now and the last few posts were all cr(* sorry. A beef between JB and TMD over an abscure issue. Censourship over various not politically correct items I believe the the purpose of this board is to help, discuss, and offer solutions to the various boating related topics, am I right. If the help required is an obscure part for an older boat or engine, and if I boats doesnt offer it , what is wrong with us helping eachother. If I boats wants additional revenue streams why not offer a swap shop. I think that from a marketing perspective if the buzz from people is "ya go to I boats there is always some one there to help" isnt that better then the current issue. JB I have nothing but admiration and respect for you, and when you come to Canada next I would love to have ya in my boat, so please dont misconstrue what Im saying. I wish that I boats would rethink this issue, and offer a stonger solution, rather then the mods getting slammed all the time Dont slam me guys because I also believe that someone aggresivly solicitating their biz here is wrong but if I had a part and someone needed it why not sell it to him. If I boats has that part well then I respect thier biz model and wouldnt do it.

Right on milo and if I had a question that could/would not be answered here, I would look elsewhere for the answer.

How about a board for want adds? Nothing for sale, just want adds. This way if Iboats have it they answer acordiningly,If they dont and some other guy here has the part you get your parts no harm no foul.<br />This method works very well on another board I visit. Just a thought.

Yea FH, that would work, but if I have something someone needs and it ain't offered by iboats, whats the harm of trying to help?<br /><br />I just read a post in the merc section where someone was needing something and about 4 post of "Email me I have several" was there.<br /><br />Same difference.

Yes this is abit silly, That is the point of a BB. TO help one another. If you have a spare part you want to sell. then by all means sell it. But to shut up the mods. I would do it through E-mail. :rolleyes:
