As someones already touched on, people come and go with selling their boat and life just gets in the way. I'm very strict on myself regarding social media, my son's suggested numerous times to get on Facebook but I'm resisting adamantly. I just find sitting in front of a screen or keeping your head down, my life passes by too quick, it also restricts you physically from the real world.
One of the main reasons I keep returning to this forum is the people and ease of use, I'm a member on other forums but the software they run the site with is agonising, no notifications of posts and even still using a photo host!!
A few guys on here have asked if they can stay even after selling their boat but they don't frequent as much as they did when they had their boat.
Unless I'm taken out without knowing I'll defiantly be on here one way or another, if only to say hi

I used to be an addict here. Now, I only frequent occasionally and first time posting in over a year. Now addicted to the Grand Design RV sites.

I'm on the Heartland forums too but man there is not near the activity as this one and they have what I would imagine to be way more members!

The volume of posting here is definitely seasonal, and yes, some people do move on to other hobbies....
As you can see, we are on the spring upswing.....and growing year over year at a good pace!

It is crazy the peak in 2014, shortly after starting, is now considered the slow time in 2017

I haven't been too active in quite a while. For me I did all the mods I wanted within the first two seasons of owning it so I don't really browse the forum as much anymore. I still use the boat just as often, however I do see myself getting into a newer 32 to 38 foot cruiser in the relatively near future. I love my Yam but I really want something I can spend a weekend on.

We do both! So does @farrelltravis ! Sleeping out on the water is awesome! A little more maintenance involved then our bulletproof Yamahas, but it's all worth it.

Cruiser life is great. The Yamaha life is great too. But, sleeping to the gentle rocking of a floating boat with AC is pretty dang nice.
