I was speaking with Reel on the phone earlier and we made an interesting observation. If you go to the members list, then click on number of post, it will give you a list of members on the site by number of post. If you read down the list, its quite apparent that the majority of high post number members(my self included) don't own an operable wellcraft boat. Either no longer owned, broken down, unfinished project, or whatever. i think its a sign we need to spend more time on our boat and less on the computer. BTW, it is interesting to see the number of post by memeber

Gee, how did the all seeing eye slip to #2. And to think I'm in the top 10 and don't even have a boat anymore(unless you count the 10 foot jon boat I keep around for when we flood).

number 16 checking in. true, I don't currently own a boat of any make but that's got nothing to do with time spent on the computer. this is merely a money issue.
don't mean to air my dirty laundry but over the last 6 months I've lost a lot of money at work. been late with a mortgage payment or two. my credit which was excellent has gone to sh!t. I will start to make more money come November at which time i'll be able to put away a few bucks. it'll probably be a few more years before I can afford another boat but in the meantime i'm keeping my eyes open for one of those once in a lifetime deals.
I'LL BE BACK!!

Couple of weeks ago my wife told one of her cousins "my husband is so sorry he won't even put the boat in the water, we have three of them just sitting in the yard waiting to go".

Little does she know (not counting a canoe) 5 of the 10 dispersed between ours and Daddy's yards are mine.:sly:

wow, interesting list, made me think whatever happened to some of the members, like skools , franco, etc. we went out in the v 4 days over the long weekend, guess i'm lucky, got a wife that loves the water and boating more than i do. i have owned this boat 23 years and my "new" motor is 20 years old. i'm probably crazy, but i am thinking about repowering again.

Sandy was a turn around for me, the boat I had wanted for my whole life and just obtained got destroyed after owning it for less than a month.
Then I had to use the little insurance money for damage on the house and other repairs.
So I decided to take a year off away from the salt. Been running so much with work and family things going on that I have not even had time for any real fresh water fishing.
This is all going to change, hopefully soon.
One constant has been the good friends I have made here, and appreciate more than you know.

I see that I'm in the top 20... not bad for only being here a (relatively) short time. (Blame RWilson.. he brought me here) If you remove a few of the really high posters that don't seem to be here anymore I'd be in or near the top 10. (I'll get there by next year anyways).

Interestingly, both of my V's are laid up with relatively minor things... just been too busy to correct them. That WILL change by next year.

Willy, you and Rob and I will get out next year... that is a promise.

And to all the posters here.... :beer:

I may become one of the ones that does not have a boat. I only used it once this year. It kills my back when I use it and just been very busy.

Thinking of selling it. I probably should wait until spring but it would be easier to sell and demo it now.

Boat is still functional but this may have been my least used year although it wasnt too bad. My post counts have been way down for the last year as i have changed almost all my browsing to an I-pad and i hate typing with the screen keyboard. I'm still here though

Looking at the list, I was a lot higher up on it than I thought I would be. I was curious so I decided to see who had the fewest posts. Looks like about 1/3 or almost 600 members have no posts! Glad so many are enjoying the forum, even if they don't care to post.

You guys all know story, and why i don't have a boat, hoping that will all change?
I sure have missed it this year! Yep reel caught me and I am number 2 but I don't care. As far as all the 0 posters, I have deleted a bunch of them in the past and just the other day, trying to keep the site ative, and alot of them are hackers that found there way in some how? But they are gone now, I still have a few more to go thur but you will notice that what was 2000 members is now like 1800

I dont post as much cause I dont like you guys very much or the horrible stories you tell not to mention the mindless banter that goes on here. Half of you are pervs, the other half are boat pervs.....Between "look what I found on craigslist" and "how fast" threads there are a few nuggets worth my valuable time but other than that I dont know why Im even here? Reel thinks he's some kind of movie star.....Charlie shoulda been done put in jail for countless things....Ferm is God's gift to outboards I guess....Pretty sure MJ is performing sexual favors just to keep the site up and runnin....I could go on and on but I wont......I just wanted to get one post closer to yall's GREATNESS!!!!!

If I am reading it right, I think I am the top poster with a working boat.

Do I get a T-shirt for that?

I thought reel picked up another V just a few weeks ago, willy still has his G3, and blue still has his. I'm sure Skools still has a boat or 2 that works, so that would make you #5(unless you want to get technical in which case I have a 10 foot jon boat and a trolling motor).

Let me rephrase that...working V20.

Was hoping for the T-shirt I ordered as my prize.

Nope, Mine was free and it was literally already in the yard. And it works, after a ton of man-hours and lots of dough. Then I still have another freebee that I picked up from a super high count member that has two of his own right now. :money:

Just saw this thread. I guess I've been Wellcraft-less for five years now. I'll never be in the top ten, but my only claim to fame is that I was member #1, even before BigShrimpin and Labiil got in.:party: Never did figure out how I got in before the big guy? Heck, I remember when we were talking about creating this forum, I think on the original Hull Truth? Damned if BS didn't actually step up and do it. He sent me an email, I went to the site to register, and here we are over 10 years later.

Now, truth be told, the only reason I ducked in to "off topic" today was to look for some of Willy's old honey's. Ain't seen that thread yet, but after this reply I'll look a little deeper.
