I just wanted to remind everybody (both new and older members) of one of the design goals of this site is to be a constantly updated "Knowledge Base" for all things related to Triumph boats and their uses

So don't forget about the use of the site search tool on the home page when asking questions for many such topics have been covered in great depth in the past. If when finding a older thread it relates to your question, but maybe still not clear for you... Then please by all means ask your question in that older thread. By dong such not only will it bring that topic back to the top of home page, but it will help bring that subject / issue to a more final of a resolve. This also makes it easier to find topics and resolutions in the future for all.

I also want to remind everybody (along the same lines) that we try and keep both the thread topic titles consistent with the year and hull type in the title line, and try and limit to 1 question per posting. This helps me greatly in keeping it all sorted

Thanks Guy (and Gals)

We (Randy and I) made an update to the Marine Engine section today... We have now broken out into sub forums, threads based upon the various engine builders, and I spent hours sorting them all. This should help drive down quicker and on a more visual basis, model specific related issues while it expands upon our "Knowledge Base" Web Page Design.

Now some threads that are more general in nature (like fuel additives) will stay in the main Marine Engine forum since they are across the board threads... But I ask that if you are having a issue related to a single engine type to please post them in the correct OEM sub forum Members who then own the same year and model can help you out since they have that very same type and may already have a fix for your specific issue.

Most prop questions though, really need to stay in the hull forum for those boats becasue the hull and engine mounting positions have the greatest effect upon overall boat performance.

Enjoy and let us know how you like the latest web site updates!

We are now in the process of expanding and re-sorting the entire "Electronics and Computer" section into more exacting related sub-forums... So stay tuned as we work too reduce the speed in finding the answers to "your" specific needs and questions and ideas on a even faster "visual" basis going forward

Now all of our forums are pretty much now sorted and updated. Also some old threads were removed that did not have any resolutions... Now with the addition of a couple new subforums that Randy and I have been working on, I think we have made some great strides since just Thanksgiving in improvement's to our Knowledge Base here.

One of the biggest improvements that was recently added was the addition of a "Tools and Supplies" subform in the General Triumph section. I dug though 14 pages tonight alone (and yes I had to read 96% of them) too dig out, all of the threads on that topic... When you see just how many of the same threads on the subjects of Plastic welders and Rule sealant posted over the years, I think you will see what I mean about having some serious "Data Overload" and why is has been so important to get that all sorted and cleaned up again...

Going forward I would like to ask everybody to please pull a search using your own screen name and look over all your past threads... If you have posted a question and never got an answer please remove that thread for it does nobody any good and only slows everybody down when trying to secure some kind of answer to the very same problem If you did get those issues resolved though, please make sure you post (no matter how old) your final resolve so we can close those loops.

Also, if you posted something that is no longer current (like past show and events) or sales you found on equipment... Please clean up and remove those old threads at the same time Trust me, Fishing and Boating shows or sales notices that took place back in 2005 (I know I did not find them all) really do not need to still be posted now

Thanks for all the help and hope you enjoy all the updates

Thanks guys and it has been a lobor of love...
I did just noticed tonight though when looking this over again, that I have now gone over 1000 posts That tells me just how much of a life I do NOT have, much less, a life without one of my claws wrapped around a mouse....

Ok I think I have done my fair share now, time to go Fishing
