Here's a couple

www.boatered.com
www.boatus.com

And for any engine questions

www.boatdiesel.com

And here's one for fast boats

http://forums.screamandfly.com
Have a bit of a hunt here and there's a pretty good video of a jet powered boat. Jet powered as in aircraft jet engine.

Oh and of course not a patch on these forums.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1>Edited by coliholic on Wed Mar 20 20:18:04 2002 (server time).</FONT></P>

Hope not to be punished by Kim for the 'similar', nothing obviously compares to ybw/pbo, but boating related sites are also:

http://www.marineweb.com/

http://www.sailboatowners.com/

http://yachtworld.com/

There simply is no US magazine (on line or in print) that quite matches PBO. I have subscribed to avrious ones (Cruising World, Blue Water Sailing, etc) and have found that, after a while, they all seem to fall in the same rut of being more dedicated to pushing equipment purchaes and "gadgeteeering". The only ones I still subscribe to are "Practical Sailor" (practicalsailor.com) which is more of a "Which"-like magzine for US sailors, since it amost exclusively tests American made products, and "Ocean Navigator" (oceannavigator.com) ).

Re:Thanks for replies

I have started working my way through the sites but must agree non seem as good as PBO etc.

 

[gary_yank]

Similar but not the same, www.trailersailor.com . Between this site, sailnet and the one I mentioned I get my fix of computer sailing.

unlike a lot of other sites , this one has a very quick responce time....perhaps with our weather we have more tim to talk than sail....think I saw the sun yesterday..
