Hello

[PoplarWight]

Hey all
Former lurker here. I live hundreds of miles inland, don't even have a boating license, and will probably not be able to afford a boat (with wife's approval) for another 30 years, but I'm here to absorb knowledge from you guys for when I can eventually achieve that goal. Don't have much to contribute, but looking forward to learning more about these beautiful watercraft. Great content here!

Welcome to TF, and hang onto the dream. It might materialise earlier than you think. You can get into boating for a very modest outlay. No matter what the size, they are all fun. I refer you to this post from Slider70...

Welcome aboard. I have been boating for 55 years and don’t have a boaters license either…

Here we need a license if exceeding 10 knots. As the Scots say, "a chance would be a fine thing".
