Winter stinks normally, then We bought the vista 268 at the end of year, so we took it in a test drive and now it's just packed away.....

So I spend a lot of time reading on here, I have spent weeks just scrolling through the vista forum, started at page 62 (oldest thread) and clicked on the titles that seem to interest me til I got to the most recent..... I have done that 3 times since October.....

This is an awesome forum, with so many great people and information. THANK YOU, to the guys that answer the simple question, or don't go crazy when a question that could be searched but wasn't the guys that share all their knowledge with newbies like myself..... I love this forum. I have one question though, it happens in all forums...

Why do people not come back to their thread and let people know what it was or how they fixed it. There are some awesome threads, thank you for sharing this great info, then there is some that is like the OP was killed and never fixed his boat....

I have pretty much went through all the post in:
engine, drive, prop
Electrical stuff
General access.
Audio video
General care

So please, if you start a thread about an issue, PLEASE let us know how you fixed it!

Rant over, Merry Christmas!

Agreed that is how we all learn. No one knows it all and by sharing solutions we all get better at what we do in this hobby.

i agree with the above ^^^

it also drives me crazy when I think that I am done, I wipe and stand up and then instantly have to go more. I want to MURDER people when this happens 3x in one sitting. YEP

I also hate that mean people.
