I should have mentioned up front that I've had no probs searching here!!
There is another website I frequent that is much like here in that it involves restoring old gems, specifically Bertram 31 boats.
And like this site (as discussed in the "who is still here" thread) many of the common questions have been answered when the iron for rebuilding was hotter several years ago...hence newcomers are faced with searches to help find answers.
On the phpBB (bertam) board, it is cumbersome for an old fart like me to properly code a search with the proper Boolean functions...I've seen on some sites a google search box that works just on the forum you are on. I had hoped to provide such a service for that forum if possible, I just haven't figured out how.
btw...KC ya wanna go fishin' sometime
