Jetboaters.net 10 Year Anniversary !

[Julian]

We've come a long way in the last 10 years! Thank you to all the staff and members that make this place a fun and informative place on the internet!

The last year has brought us:

• We are up to 41,111 members from 36k members a year ago! We have thousands more non-members that come to the site for information but don't join (that's ok). As you can see from active member statistics, usage climbed during the COVID years big time and now has dropped off some . I attribute this entirely to my retirement and the birth of my grandson!!!! LOL. Kidding aside, we do face more competition from FB groups, but members keep coming here because it's well maintained and the info is far easier to find. Plus you can easily tell if someone is a real expert vs a FB keyboard jockey!

• We continue to hold staff meetings and discuss new things we can do for our members.
• Gatherings continue with the Shelbyville IL and Gulf Coast ones being the largest!
• Don't forget that we introduced a new Dark Style in 2020 for those that prefer a darker look for the forum.
• We keep adding things by request - the last addition year was the ability to ignore a thread.

Please keep your suggestions coming as it is our goal to be responsive to your requests (as we can). This site is for you-our members! Do us and other jetboaters a favor, and when you see posts seeking help on other platforms, find their answer here, and post up a link for them when you can! That will both help people, and continue to keep this place relevant and up to date with the lastest.

I am in the process of taking over sticker sales duties and will be up and running once I get back from Cudjo key and a Caribbean cruise (tough retirement!)

Thank you all!

This has been one of my favorite forums ever.

it seems most everyone is just great at helping out and communicating. The online ADHD that most forums seem to have doesn’t happen here.
Most threads stay on topic and it doesn’t get personal.

it’s just a great experience and I have learned tons!
Keep It up! Your hard work is very much appreciated

This site makes me incredibly happy. From the tech tips, best consensus add-on advise, pics of people enjoying their boats, trip info., and on and on and on. Great humor, good maturity, and just good overall posts. Almost every post and response make me feel like I would happily boat with a majority of the members here and I am picky about who I boat with! LOL

WTH. A Dark Mode. Didn't even think to check preferences!

Best JetBoat Forum out there. Been to others but there is more member interaction and assistance here. Thanks everyone.

This is the only place I use for anything JetBoat related. I have looked at other places but none is as well organized as this site.
Thanks for keeping this site going all this time.

When and where is the party? Dress code - tee shirt, board shorts and flip flops, I'm assuming?

Went back to a prop but still like to lurk quite a bit. Good site for the facebookless

The only old cat here is Grimalkin . Wait, there are a lot of old cats here. We have good scratching posts that some come to try, others come here for the catnip.

Crazy it's been 10yrs already....... Still have my '14 AR240HO and kept my commitment to my wife to not buy another boat for 10yrs. Guess it's time to start looking.

Yeah, 10 years have flown by?

I remember when this (JB.net) was considered the other site. But it quickly out shined YJB.com. I'm happy to call this place home. To the admins and support team keep up the good work.

Keep rockin it! It's fun to see how often the site is linked from fb
