Suggestion Boat Forum

[ONESPEED]

I would like to suggest the Boating Equipment forum be renamed The Boating Forum or something similar as it's current title is rather limiting. I have seen numerous posts regarding boat brands and and types posted throughout the board as there is no real home for these posts currently. Boats are an important part of diving that I believe merit a dedicated forum with subforums for equipment, handling, maintenance, etc.

I used to frequent The Hull Truth, a boating website. When you start discussing boat or motor brands, it can get as ugly as which dive training agency threads or DIR discussions that used to go on here. So I'm all for it.
Which is a better motor...ETEC or Yamaha?

Suzuki, but I kid. Yeah, I've spent some time on The Hull Truth as well and it can be pretty entertaining. Let's bring the fun to Scubaboard.

I'm on board (pun intended) for creating a boating forum (or renaming a current one) here.

I just relocated to Souther California and am planning on buying a boat (looking at trawlers right now) as a live aboard. Any idea how difficult finding information about what to look for when you want to dive off your home too? I'm in for a forum on this.

Getting closer, let's make our boating friends aware of this thread and have them post so we can make this happen.

A boating forum sounds like a good idea. Diving and boats goes together like peanut butter and jelly
