Many Thanks to Joe, Mike, Phil and Tom
Did you guys ever dream the site would have 15,000 members? 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.
Many Thanks,
Norm & Crew

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?
Norm

I see now...
No, I have removed the links to all the downloads on the old website.
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.

First Class site.
Helpful, informative, great site to look at and use.
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.
Thanks Joe and everyone else involved in putting this together for the rest of us.

This is what WhalerCentral looked like in mid 2004:
http://www.whalercentral.com/old/WC/i...isplay.htm
Here is Joe's site from November 2002:
[url]http://web.archive.org/web/20021126082405/http://www.sisqtel.net/~jkriz/drawings/drawings.html
[/url]
Those two sites were combined to create WhalerCentral.

"Whaler Central can fix ANYTHING" ! Good folk's who look out for ea. other. 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 !

Who will be number 15,000?
For some reason I think member 15,000 will be from South Carolina. What do you guys think?
That would be a great turn out for a Whaler rendevous

Joe, Mike, Phil and Tom
My thanks for letting me join the Whaler Central family.
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.

15k is a huge number, especially given that the site is open to viewing without registering. Congratulations, Joe, your success is certainly earned.
