I have to believe it'll blow right through 20,000 as well. Does any other boat manufscturer claim to have such a following? What type of celebration are you planning? Also would love to see a copy of the original site page.

Member Personal Page Posts: 192 Comments: 2 Joined: 06/21/08	Joe, What I meant to ask was, do you have a copy of the original website/webpage from WhalerCentral's infancy? How long do you think it took to reach the 100 member mark?

All that is left now is a remnant of the page with a photo of my wife and I on our Outrage 22' Cuddy we had at that time. http://users.sisqtel.net/jkriz/drawin...wings.html

One of the best features - No bitching - No back-biting - No nasty comments. Just solid support from enthusiasts for enthusiasts. (corny I know) Feels like home or ... at times a huge kegger.

You can ask ANY question here (there's no such thing as a "stupid" question on W/C). I like the fact that we can share photo's, and look at each other's boat's, and accomplishments. It's the BEST "Think Tank" on the web ! Matt

I had my first whaler ride way back in elementary school days on a lake in central Florida. Not but a few miles from where a famous mouse later moved to from California. Best wishes for many more members and friends.
