Since purchasing the Hondo I have been trying to collect information on the brand (with little luck).
I think this site would be a great place to collect information (year, vin, hull design, engine, drive, history) for the major jet hull builders.
Any suggestions or ideas would be great.

actually, this was an idea i had as well when i started the site, but never got around to it and forgot all about it. I think its a great idea, thanks for reminding me.
I will do some homework and see if I can set up the base for it and let everyone know how it goes.....the more I type, the more I get excited about this project...i got some really cool ideas. This is going to be a huge addition to this site.

i would love to get info on my "mach 1 " miniday cruiser, havn't found anything online

The registry is a spectacular idea .
As a side note : The info on your hulls can be obtained through your HIN # .
Unfortunatly the info your gonna get is , who , when , where it was built . Which may or may not be a surprise .
Other than that your going to have to ask specific questions that you want answered about your hulls .
Thread Jack officially over ! Sorry Brad ;D

Being able to find out how many (insert style here) hulls were built each year, or how many had the same gel design... It is mostly entertaining but it would be cool to be able to compare boats with others built around the same time.

This is actually a great idea of being able to pool the collective knowledge of everyone.
The problem we are all having is that most of our toys were built in the late 60's and 70's. Most of the companies that built them have been sold if not several times or out of business or have moved there company in a different direction years ago. Since the internet wasnt around back then and didnt show up for another 20 years or so, there is just a huge gap in the information available.
You can find a crap load of info on the boats from rebuild ands restorations (if you look long enough) that were done in the last 5 years, but trying to find information about the original builders will leave you lost in cyber space.
Brad, on a business side of things(as a web designer) I think that this would be a huge draw to the site(business) as the word gets around and meta tags starts showing up in search engines.
