Looks like I'll be there ALL DAY FRIDAY as well. I might avoid the weekend there altogether. Going to be a workday for me so I'd like to snag a beer or two as the day comes to an end. Bradley's anyone?

Second report of this, I'll check it out and correct. Are you saying you are posting multiple attachments which combined size amount is over 500kb and you receive the error? Please post more info so I can pin-point the issue.

Kaye Pearson, the expansive entrepreneur, philanthropist, world-class angler and showman who put his hometown on the global maritime map with an annual boat show, died of cancer at his Fort Lauderdale in his home Saturday, his family said. He was 68. Mr. Pearson founded Show Management in 1976 to operate the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, growing the event from 200 boats at its start to what industry officials say is the world's largest boat show. The event now draws about 120,000 visitors a year, with 1,700 boats and nearly 1,400 exhibitors. Its sales total about $1.5 billion and it has a local economic impact of about $550 million. "Kaye was a marine industry icon and champion who left a lifetime of achievement behind him," said Frank Herhold, director of the Marine Industries Association of South Florida, which contracted Pearson to run the show. "Through his leadership, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show has become the world's largest boat show, bringing global recognition to our community." Mr. Pearson sold Show Management about two years ago and, with other investors, was developing the island of Chub Cay in the Bahamas. "That was his dream, I guess, to have an island and enjoy life," Cheri Pearson said. Besides his wife, Mr. Pearson is survived by a daughter, Jennifer Moore; a brother, Jerry; a sister, Janet Powell; and a granddaughter, Alexandria Moore. A private burial service will be held later this week, and a memorial service is scheduled for 3 p.m. April 4 at the Bahia Mar Hotel & Yachting Center.

I don't see where the person who registered the original "baitkiller' had any bad intentions or did so in attempt to steal a user name or mimic another person. Might be best discussed among the two parties involved. Perhaps a PM?

That picture was from 2+ years ago, right?

The TN Freebird was a bogus registration. I deleted it and now require email validation for all sign ups. Somehow that requirement had become undone. Wiley

As much as those vs threads go bad I do often use Google to search "vs" if I'm researching software etc. This way I can find who the alternatives are then make up my own mind. On boating forums it tends to turn into "I paid a ton of money for my product so I'm going to always say it's better than yours".

Closing thread. This is solved better by PM or email. Wiley

Glad to have ya. If you joined THT AFTER the IB ownership then you didn't receive the personal email - unless you had emailed me in the past for some other reason.

The only emails sent were to those who were on my contacts list from the year 2000 to 2007 (Pre IB). This was 7 years of emails in reply to anyone who had emailed me during that time for any reason - and there were a ton of them!

Thanks! I really like this boat. At least on the outside.

I need to get back in shape but maybe we'll kayak over and meet you there sometime. Do you just go in the cut and drop anchor by the food shack there?

I want to thank everyone for taking the time to register with the new ReelBoating.com Forum. The Forum opened last Monday - and today (Monday) it appears we will have 1525+ registered members. Most users ever online was 427 - Today, 09:27 AM This is a great number for the opening week. We have clean slate on which to build.

YES! Post 'em up!

Thank you RI Builder for taking the time and initiative needed to lead this Forum.

Getting better with each day! Thanks to RI Builder for stepping up.

Yes Boz, been waiting!

Wife (Island Girl) will be there all days with the Abaco Beach Resort display by the docks. Stop by and say "HI". I will be there Sat and Sun only and hope to be wearing the first ever ReelBoating t-shirt to the show!

Sounds like Bruce or Bailey Boat? Was your user name unique? If so I may be able to resolve the dispute as I stated in my forum introduction. If it was Joe or similar then it's first come first served. Who you be?

Heh, emudryj had actually registered around the first few days, then the (now fixed) DNS bug flubbed his access - how frustrating!

You can link to outside video sources for now as long as they aren't ads. Right now YouTube is the only service that can be used to embed a video in a post. I believe there is a MOD to this software that allows video upload from other sorces and even hosted here. not sure - so let me check. If so I will try to install this week. I really want video a bit part of this site.

Worked through the night and woke to this. Gave me a bit more motivation this morning! THANKS!

Good catch! Your Intrepid looks roomy.
