Wannabe!!!!!!!1

hello

My name is jesse a wannabe if i havent filled somthing out right just let me know and ill get it filled out imnew at this:brickwall:
 
Justin - I totally agree with you. I have the same feelings when I see someone post without a location. Even the guys who just join the site to try to sell a boat.

Jesse - please enter where you live. I think that and the type of boat you own (checkmate or not, or even what you're looking to buy) are the main concerns. It's hard to help people if you don't know where they boat and if they're into a little river rocket, or a big wave crusher.

At the same time, I think that "wannabe" might not be the best label for a new member. It's sometimes intimidating enough to post stuff without a label like that. Maybe we could come up with something less derogatory for the new guys.
 
i think i got it all done now. thanks it took me a sec to figure out how to fix it. thanks .If yall see enything else i do wronge just let me know.I was so glade that i found a place were i could talk to pepole about my boat and ask questions. cause no one around here knows enything much about an old jetboat every time i call and ask a ? that tell me to get rid of that pile a junk and get new one. NOT going to happen. Sorry didnt mean to ramble on thanks.
 
welcome aboard. send some pics. unless u salvaged it off the bottom of the sea dont ditch it. most of the fun is gettin your cm on the water. enjoy and good luck. you will find much knowledge from guys on this site. plus much entertainment:cheers:

Anthony, any ideas? maybe newbie?
 
my wife had to figure out how to put the pictues on here... atleast there on there let me know if theres an easy way of posting pics that wont take us an hour to figure out.. lol :rof:
 
pics

i would love to find more pics of these boats so i could get some ideas on how to do my boat. right now im thinking plum crazy purple with white or silver flames. what yall think ?:banana:
 
yea

dogschool it use to when we had the first time i hope it turns out that good againe those pics were took when i first got it since then we have redone the trailor painted it back whit and put led lights on it i ll try get some more pics:thumb:
 
Justin - Yeah, newbie would be better. What do they call a brand new navy recruit, or the lowest position on a ship? I'm sure we could come up with something kinda funny but a little less mean. I know none of us think about it, but if you're new here - it might be intimidating.

Jesse - holy cow, you're going to have fun with that thing. I can see it now. It looks like everything's there and in reasonable condition. Looking forward to the progress!

I agree.... How about "In the mold" instead of Wanabee, it is the begginning of any fiberglass boat building process.
 
That's the way it is!

Nah, I started as a wannabe as did everyone else here, so
be a wannabe until you progress beyond wannabe status!
It is what it is!

I do believe all should have to post their age and location so
we know who we're dealing with and where they are from.
