Ahhh the original BWE was formed because the site owned by Mission Bay Watersports was censoring post content, (help me with the name?) was started by Greg Knabb, Corey Wyrick and Al Salibi. there was Spike's board, Jim's board, Jason's board, and Baytubers, all were those scrolling simple style ones, every body hosted photos on whatever Photo bucket was called...help me out here. I think this was right around the year 2000

Thanks!! I appreciate the effort.

Thank you for maintaining the site. Lots of nostalgia here -- historical accomplishments and great memories! The annoying adds serve a good purpose. Perhaps Baytubers should do the same.

I posted alot there before BWE.
I believe Sonny was the moderator. It came to an end I heard Sonny moved to Hawaii but I could be wrong.

I just saw this.

I agree with all the thanks from the above posts.

I always felt welcomed to the shop and given help and reasonable prices.

Wishing all the best to everyone that made this site possible. I hope it continues.

With my deepest regards,
