I became a member on March 8, 2005. If memory serves,I recall somewhere in the nieghborhood of 347 members when I joined. Now we're near 370 or so...Hmmm...must be "something in the water"

[Stinky_Hooker]

Yeah come on out guys...the first step is ADMITTING you have a problem...then start postin bout it. We can relate, we wont look down on you. ;D

[Franco]

We don't judge you by the type of outboard motor you have, we don't care if yours is a centerconsole or cuddy,
I/O's get the same respect as a bracket. We do kinda look down on those euro-transoms - we gotta have standards

[reelapeelin]

Yeah...I'm thinkin' about payin' somebody to reconfigure my V20 into a Eurotransom... :P...then I'm gonna squat over a bear-trap... ;D...

I think the pre-newbies like to just watch for a little while the see what kinda MADNESS goes on here...I'm startin' to SHAKE...gotta go drill some fiberglass...

[Stinky_Hooker]

Hey guys on that note what is a eurotransom? I think i know, but someone tell me if Im right. ???

[chumbucket]

It's the useless form shown in this picture. Nothing more than wasted cockpit space. You loose about 2 feet of useable space. >:(

CB why are you picking on the boat I almost replaced my V-20 with? The small cockpit (and the useless head compartment) killed it for me.

[Stinky_Hooker]

OOOH I didnt know then....yeah i hate those!!!

I agree completely. That 2 feet turns into about 16 square feet of space assuming an 8 foot beam.

[chumbucket]

I'm not bashing any boat in particular. Just the styling of the transom. I tend to like the Hydra-Sports offerings. This was just a quickly accessable picture that I thre up as an example.

[macojoe]

you basher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

[CT_V-20]

i was just kidding about the "picking on," but I wasn't kidding about the euro-transom turnoff

[chumbucket]

Welcome to the madness Dave. See, that didn't hurt a bit. Eh? ;D
You mean to tell me there are actually people that own boats and don't fish? :o :'(

[Franco]

WELCOME DAVE, GLAD TO HAVE YOU WITH US, IT'S OKAY THAT YOU DONT FISH, LEAVES MORE FOR US.

[davexx]

Its hard for me to beleive too. I have owned 3 V20s over the yrs and have fished with others on board(bluefish) but no more.I spend most of my time searching for boat or motor parts.

[Franco]

IF YOU NEED SOMETHING, ASK MJ OR REELAPEELIN, THEY GOT THE SOURCES FOR SURE, AND ANYONE ELSE CAN POP UP AND SUPRISE YA

[Blue_Runner]

Dave,

I have a pair of counter rotating 1989 Johnson 140hp engines with dual controls that I'd like to get rid of.

One runs, the other needs a starter. I'm willing to make somebody a real good deal....let me know if you're interested and I'll shoot you the details.

Welcome to the site!

Blue

[reelapeelin]

Let's see...add a Euro-Transom, move the windshield back 5 feet so it'll ride better...voila!...now you save money on seating cause the front seats are in the back!... ::)...

That picture makes my Nortons ache just lookin' at it... :o...
