The majority of folks on here have had other boats in the past, and found that pontoons worked the best for them and how they used their boats. You have a lot of company here, welcome!

Thank you all for the welcome. I will try and post PIC's when I get the boat, but not sure I know how.

There are several methods that will work, but here is mine. Quick and easy once you get the hang of it, and it dosen't take any memory from your PC.

Step 1 - Go to http://www.imageshack.com

Step 2 -Click on the image resize dropdown box and select 640x480 or 800x600 (both are okay)

Step 3 - Click on the Browse button and find the photo that you want to resize.

Step 4 - Click on the UPLOAD NOW button.

Step 5 - Find the box that says Forum Code...highlite and copy the code

Step 6 - Paste the code into the body of your post...not the attachment section

Step 7 - Hit Preview to make sure it worked...then submit your post or upload more images.

Step 8 - Go back to image shack and click the Media Upload button to do another photo.


This is what 640x480 looks like.

This is what 800x600 looks like.
