As an aussie I am also amazed at the negative connotations Americans seem to have for what we consider the mild S word. We have no such compunction in Oz. A typical example "Gooday mate how's the new boat going - s***house mate can't get the f***ing thing started."

Implementing the word 'some' removes the stereotype.....G'day, mate!....

Out of the online boat forums, iw is so much better than the other sites.

Was in Georgia at the gas nationals and had a great conversation with Don f

im also 47 and on disability. yet I found a way to give a lousy $10. forums cost money IDK if you are new to the internet or what but this is normal.

I am in the same situation I'm recovering from a stroke in a nursing home and I want to head indeed $29 for a year, which works out to 2 1/2 dollars a month. This is one of the better websites for boats and I think it's well worth 2 1/2 dollars a month to support them
