Finally made the switch from OSO to SOS, the ugly

[Griswald]

Hey guys, I started working at a boat ramp in 1975, I have been working on and around boats ever since. Got to love it.

Same here. Started working at the marina close to my house as a dock boy when I was 8yrs old. Gassed boats, fetched ice, counted bait, and raked more seaweed out of the ramp than I ever care to see again. All this for a whopping $1hr. I can still remember the day I brought home my first $20 bill.

It was sad that previous "admin" on the other site would pass judgement on specific people based on loyalty to a certain racing organization. (an organization that took really good care of him-by the way). I hope this site doesn't show that same judgement, (or censorship) of members.

Were pretty laid back, We go out of our way to PM people if there is a problem, most folks edit their own posts if they are way out of line, We are not affiliated to any specific race organization, we like em all !
Constructive criticism is always welcome (unless it is about Stecz):USA:

Took me a year to get up to a buck an hour. Started in a Merc outboard shop for .75 cents an hour in 1967. The shop rebuilt several powerheads and lowerunits a week, so cleaning gaskets and eventually disassembling lower units was all I got to do. Ended up staying with that shop into the 80's, the pay always sucked though.

I worked at a marina called the sportsmans marina on the hackensack river by the giant's stadium in the late 60's. I collected the ramp fee's and operated the fuel pumps on the weekends while my family went out on the boat (31 trojan). during the summer I would live on the boat and work everyday, and I think it was for 1 dollar per hour. slept on the boat eating chef boy r dee for dinner watching a small black and white tv. I was I think about 12 years old.

I have posted and lurked around both sites reading the chit that was being thrown around..and it did make for some interesting readin :rofl:uke: :banghead::lurk5: but I'm glad it has gone by the way side, at least for now...lol...but with our (i use the word "our" loosely cuz its only been about 2 year for me) type of "hobby" we love big power big boats and lets not forget the:boobflash: so there's gonna be some ego too and some of the BS was ego based IMO...but again...I'm glad it's gotten back to more boating and less bashing and trashing.

Well, hopefully we'll be seeing more of you. :sifone:

 

[bajabob 718]

thanks guys . its sad oso dont care about there members !!! . i email them and got no responce from them!!!. thats lame. o well i will have more time for this site thanks:cheers2:

oso has never changed, it always had and always will have its little cliques of members who no matter what you say they are always right. Its funny how they put shuble up on a platform as the boating god when in fact all he did was buy the site from the person who really started it Jeffrey Chang. From my point of view steve bought a lifestyle when he bought oso. Al those pretty girls on the oso boat were just paid models. Steve couldn't get laid in a whore house. But thats what happens when you get to spend your families money. As for me the last three years I have kept my mouth closed about my texas problem. Funny thing is how a certain person keeps on selling and advertising boats on the other sites when he was the one who drove me to the marina to show me the boat in question. But he was buddies with steve and we know how the good ole boys network goes. As for this site I wish it the best and hope it slowly gets better, which I know that it will.

who is speedgirl?????

 

[Bgchuby01]

Her name is Heather and she is the head moderator on OSO. She claims I was banned there by steve but when I made a remark on OSO about her friend Barbie and how good a driver she was, all of a sudden I was banned. When this site started she played with my ability to post until Chris asked her to behave. I have never met her and she is friends with alot of people on both sites. I know that if you piss on her wheaties on oso, you are gone. I have her phone number and sometimes I think about calling her but what good would that do. As for her and steve's friend barbie she is the sister/brother of Jo nunez from pantera boats. She could probobly bench more weight than the majority of people on here. She used to drive the OSO truck that steve bought to drive the oso top gun that was owned by pier57.

Bob if you got ripped off by this guy you should start a thread in the good bad & ugly section letting everybody know just who this guy is .

Speedgirl hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i remember her well and her Avatar :boobflash:

 

[txriverrat2001]

I was invited here way back when - have no beef with anyone in particular, not even OSO... but just choose to BS with the peeps on here as most of the keyboard racers on OSO are full of chit.... I'm not a racer - never claimed to be. I am a long time wrencher on everything from V4 Rudes to 850SCI's to the 528 Hemi's .... just love the sport.... like the guys who enjoy it as much as I do... and love to hear the chit stories from time to time...... Been on the water for over 40yrs ... same place ... I'm an original San Jacinto River Rat and damn proud of it....

back to the bashin.......
