Walt, I met you in this site, then had the pleasure of meeting you in person, even bought a van from you lol, which BTW is still going!
You personally have helped me out of a difficult situation which was non boating related, as well as at least 5 others on this site, one of which is Billy3 - who is an incredible standup gentleman and friend to this day. Is this even a boating site?? Kidding, but I have made long term friends here and those relationships are invaluable.
As far as boating, I couldn't even put a value on what I have learned here, I'm a do it yourselfer but it goes behond that. I am much safer, more educated, a hell of a lot more wiser, and have been able to move up in boat size much faster because of what I can do myself and the confidence I have gained here.
I also frequent other sites and can say the people here are more civilized and generous in their info offerings, good people here our differences aside.
I never understood the ain't anchor sentiments. If you are given good services you tip. I'm a lifer at this point, and it's one of my favorite and valued places to hang out!
