Greetings. I am glad to see that there's still one of these old school forums out there that people still frequent. Sometimes I need a break from social media and prefer to browse around forums instead. I'm restoring a 1976' venture of Newport 23, haven't got to do allot to it yet but hope to have it in the water to at least motor around before the end of the summer.

Ouch! "Old School" would be an apt description of most of us hairy old farts  ;D  Glad you stopped by and introduces yourself! If you've got any questions, somebody usually has some sort of an answer. Oh, except me. I just take up space  :D

Welcome - contrary to first impressions you don't need to be an "Old Salt" to be welcome. We certainly are looking forward to your updates on your boat's restoration. You'll find some very knowledgeable and resourceful folk here on the forum and sub forums.
