This site was launched September of 2012 because as hobbyists for many years, we have found a definitive need for a one stop, find everything place, for the boating and fishing community. Boatassistant.com is that solution. We are the Resource and Social Media combination for the boating and fishing community. Meet up with friends, meet new ones, hire a Captain, find a repair facility, parts, canvas repair, a marina, or just general information. Boatassistant.com is the solution. Membership is FREE, so JOIN TODAY and start enjoying the benefits! Posting or linking to any forum that has objectionable content is STRICTLY prohibited. Membership approval is required by a site administrator when you first sign up. Due to the age range of our members, this is a necessary step in order for us to maintain site integrity.
