To YF's Senior Members...

Long way to go

Only another 94 posts to go

BB, Go and hit the Miami Beach Marina (just inside Gov't Cut inlet) and walk the docks. Not sure if you can get to Fisher's Island if you don't have a place there, but ask around. Not sure what's at the Marriott right now, but stop in if you're in the neighborhood. Also go by Bayside, there's shopping, restaurants and marina.
Have fun.

Along with CaptTom's suggestions, I would encourage a trip to Fort Lauderdale's Pier 66 marina for a gawk at some nice stuff with no gates to stop you PLUS there is a great on-premises restaurant for a ringside view. A 30 minute ride on the weekend from Miamuh, a horrific nightmarish slog at 4:00pm on a weekday.

Visiting Jupiter FL

I will be in Jupiter at the end of this month for the Barrett Jackson Auction and would like some suggestions where I can see some great yachts plus if possible a few trusted names of brokers in the area. I will take in Capt Tom;s suggestions and Pier 66 but I need a real yacht fix to last a life time.

Thanx Carl!
P.S. Did you look in your crystalball and see me

I think if you entice Carl to sit for a few hours out his back door (of course, alcohol will be involved), you may see all the yachts you want.
Why not stay for the Palm Beach Boat Show on Mar 22-25? Also, many yachts in Palm Beach like Yachtbrokerguy said. Rybo yard, town dock, etc. all the way down to Ft Laud and beyond. You can spend your entire trip getting a yacht fix. Drop me an IM with your dates.
Tucker, I'm working on approval to do the piece as we discussed a while ago. Just did one on Rybo in the latest issue

Hi Guys,I was wondering what the senior member was all about.Hopefully I will have learned how to type by the time I become one,just in case all the aquired knowledge isn't enough to take away from the site. Cheers

Really enjoying reading through(weather here is too ****** to go boating)Anyways at what point does a boat become a yacht?feet ,tonnage,whatever?Well,there is number two,hee hee wont be long now.

That is an interestign question Theyachtsman, It is not exactly that easy to give a definition though.. but i searched and found this...it should help u understand better..

Thanks Yachtluver,It is a nice try to answer but still leaves alot open to interpretation.I bet we can narrow it down some more although it will probably just turn into a list of numbers.LOL

Carl,

Out of curiosity and for an additional post, what's the breakdown of members? How many of us are above and below 100 posts?

Since this is not automated it is something Carl will take care of as he explained in this post; http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/39496-post17.html

Carl,

What can I say, the exhaust business is exhausting. I take pride in looking at the advertisement that borders the forums knowing that a most located in the States come to us for their exhaust needs. I'll start a thread soon with some interesting pictures. By the way, I keep missing you at the boat shows, but I have a collection of your business cards.

I was wondering about the title "senior member". I just turned 50 but I'm still just a registered user. It all makes sense now.

Now I'm one post closer...

Being long in the tooth won't get ya any seniority around here: Ya have to get up early in the morning and start posting on forums..

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

Enthusiasm is appreciated, but 'post count' doesn't get you into the geriatric ward. There's a few old salts that reached senior status inside of 10 posts. Equally, some members will eclipse 100 posts and never get their AARP card.

Becoming a senior member is about knowledge; both accumulated and shared, but in some cases, it's about being passionate and helpful.
