Whats the Best thing you have seen or experience with a board member?

[cave]

You can name them on this one.
Fo sitty has helped me out more than a few times. Once I hit a curb with my bote trailer and popped both drivers side tires. 4 sitty and the misses were there in minutes to help a brutha out. Again on the way home from Parker a few weeks back, the right rear tire fell part. Fo Sitty back up on the I10 about a mile to help me change the rear tire. I put all my 130 pounds on that tire iron and it did not budge. Thanks Bro!. Lots of good people here on RDP.

 

[dancudmore]

so many great people and experiences I wouldn't know where to start!
I think basically all my friends are from these boards!

Spent an OP6C with Titties n Beer on his boat drinking his beer. (04) great weekend, met everybody! RD, JackPunx, FlyinVee's, Bre, HH, OutCole'd, HBCraig, Deb/Scream, SYA, Shawna (MrsRestless??) Kilrtoys, etc etc etc

Todd969 has helped me like a brother.

Wade (miss venemous) n Denise, I lived in their house a while when times were real bad for me. Been in all sorts of trouble together! :thumbsup

vmjtc3 and mrs vmjtc3 all sorts of great times, they were in my wedding, and introduced me to my wife (not sure if that part is good or bad)

I "borrowed" a room from Vegas36Cat for about 2 years monday thru friday so I could keep working in vegas, and keep my havasu house.

SHADOW gave me my first ride on a cat--expensive boat ride.

Mr n Mrs shippingguy supplied ride #2 that sealed the $$$ deal (thanks by the way) they were all sorts of help in building the 27.

When the couple week old XR on said 27 went BNAG at DS 06 Robey (Big Bear) towed us from about pilot rock to Cat-Tail. So many board members saw that ordeal that John West heard, and was calling me before we were even back to the ramp arranging to get the boat dropped off, drive pulled and taken to QPM. I think voodoomedman took the drive home, and shippingguy brought it back. Kilrtoys grabbed the boat out of storage and Savage had it ready to rock before I could get back to town on Friday!

SLOWINHAVASU, wouldn't even know what to say about that whole family other than just, the best! So many great times, generosity, hospitality...wow.

Some great times with K26 and MrsK26, some not so fun times floating mid-ocean too!

PHOTOGLOU----not much explanation needed there! Some awesome Catalina runs

Garrrdogg, Roln20's....

Big Doug...

really, where do you start or stop with the good people on these boards??

For me, it was seeing how everyone came together when brian was in need of having his friends surround him. Seeing the banner with all our heart felt memos was such a powerful statement of what people are like here.

 

[VoodooMedMan]

Besides a great wealth of info here there is a great network of good people who do good work for good prices. I can count only two times where I've been disappointed with a referral from these boards but can't count the many things I've been helped with.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

bshybvrgirl married me...

 

[Sleeper CP]

Was it a women named Allison who went to Arizona from California for a week to help a board member who had had surgery and had no help at home? She left her home ( i think up by Norco) and went and helped him for a week. Someone she had never met except on the boards.

Way too many good folks here to name them all.

Shadow rescued my wife in Havasu when the car broke down in 120 heat and I was 200 miles away.

Ton of good folks helped pluck my kid out of the water when Gary's boat went down in the ocean. Dancudmore was there while we thought our kid had just died in a fiery explosion.

Klrtoy pulled my truck off a hill when my stupid ass got it stuck.

Gary put the wife up in Havasu when my power went out for 2 weeks in the summer. Fridge stunk the whole house up and I was stuck in Texas.

INSman, Blaine has always been there for us.

LHC30 and Mrs LHC30 pulled a U turn in front of a poker run to make sure I was ok when my Raylar failed yet again.

Shadow (again) gave me the final solution to my Raylar woes. Running strong to this day.

John and Michele took us in and treated us like family and have become great friends.



Leaving out many adventures and good folks here.

I remember when someone (don't remember) mentioned their parents were stranded on the highway in their motorhome. Mark (T&B) drove out, fixed it, and sent them on their way without charging them. That was the first in a rampage of philanthropy Mark threw down all over the tri-state area.

It didn't happen to me but it was so wild in a positive way, I had to laugh. Thinking about it still puts a smile on my face.

There are a lot of great people here. I'm proud to be part of this group.

That was Overkill. Bad head on collision in Queen Creek AZ. I remember Topless was out here helping him out.

This place is different than most. I cant explain it to friends.
It was cool to meet Sleeper CP, The President.lol Farmer John, B Mac and the rest of the Yuma crowd. Cant say thank you enough for the warm welcome on the Lower Colorado! Same with the Parker crew! River Pirate, thanks boss! Outlaw swung by our local pond. Man what a cool guy and a Killer 21! Many of the people I associate with now are from the Hot boat days and carried onto RDP. Good times still happening!

 

[mark49]

Sleekcraft80 always there when my girls suck up a rock on there jet Skiis
Summitcarl for all the times he stopped what he was working on when my boat broke down
Bunkrepair for going out of his way to drop off boat parts on his way to havasu from ontario

I credit this community, helping when tragedy strikes. Either you against or defending a member of their actions ,every one pulls together trying to help a family suffering a loss. The HTM accident comes to mind:thumbsup. 90% of the people on the forums didn't know Steve Columb or Mr Pump in person, yet the majority, immediately responded with donation to help the families who lost their beloved.We may have a bunch of wacos here , but in need we all have empathy for each other.
