Very impresive - I love the look from the side.
The $5.00 isn't so silly an idea...
Basically thoise with the most posts should get the first round of $5 and new boats with the next highest etc etc all getting their turn in time...
Sounds like a good pyramid sceme to me?
I like the pyramid scheme where everyone packs up their better half in a cardboard box and mails her off to the guy with his name at the top of the list - and the one guy who broke the chain and got his OWN wife back!
Cheers!
