Going the "Joe Boater" route?

[Guest]

As my father use to say, "If you do not have anything valuable to contribute, it's often better to say nothing and let them think you are a dummy then to speak and remove all doubt." Hence my first post... Well, I thought this might be a valuable contribution, one more vote for REELBOATING.

I don't know if you have made your final decision and will not try to sway you either way. I can see both sides to this discussion. Reelboating sounds a little more professional and it is what everyone is used to but, Joeboater sounds homey and welcoming to someone with a 14 jonboat up to anything else. It may be boater envy on my part but it appears that most of the people on this site are larger/fancier/more expensive boat owners whereas I own an 18' CC and am an intermediate, recreational boater. I can see where running across a website called joeboater.com would seem welcoming to someone such as myself whereas it might not seem as welcoming to an advanced owner of a large expensive boat. Just my 2 cents.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR FEEDBACK!

I AM STAYING THE COURSE WITH THE NAME REELBOATING AND AM DEFINITELY IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL!

IT'S NICE TO HAVE A FRESH START!

Too late for the poll since you announced the results allready. I too would stick with reelboating.com, but in your spare time you could fire up another forum, I'm sure there are things you would want to do a little different.

Wiley, I like the new Description up top under the Main header.

That says it all.
