    While the 13th is considered a bad day, in the Hydrodyners.com world that equals the 5 year anniversary of the site (December 13th 2004)

    I would like to start thanking all of the people that make this site what it is!! Especially Markbano (November 4th, 2005) DyneGreg1 (May 30th, 2006) and Jim (June 14th, 2006) For the start that pushed this site over the edge!!!

    Thanks Again from Bryan and me for the great times!!!!

    This site truly became active once the new design became active on December 1st 2006!!!

    Thank you and Bryan for what you have done here and over at Show Skiers.

    I have had a lot of fun here. This site has brought some Dynes to our attention that I did not know existed, much less ever seen one.

    Others have changed hands and remain owned by a member. That is pretty cool.

    I remember one year at the nationals a couple of guys came over and asked if they could measure the stripes on my boat. They were refinishing an 18. I said "OK" but I doubt that any two are exactly alike. That is the fun of it.

    Also, congratulations Daniel on keeping your boat original with the those engines. Your boat takes me back to the Tommy Bartlett show of the 60's and 70's.

    hehe! What a great community here guys! Thanks to everyone for making it what it is. I remember a few years ago starting with just a few of the founding members, and here we are a few years later with almost 400. Definitely a wealth of information here. Thanks to everybody who contributes and makes the H.com what it is!

    What I remember is that this website was here, but had not content, and then all of a sudden it was gone.

    I went on Fiberglassics and asked if anyone knew of it and where it went. Sure enough, someone - - I'll bet either Bryan or Daniel, responded to me on Fiberglassics and said "hey - that's my website - I'll put it back up..." And so he did, and so here we are....

    Daniel - Bryan - do either of you remember my post on Fiberglassics asking what happened to this webite? Long time ago...

    We sure do appreciate all that you guys do. I hope you know how much all of your time and effort are appreciated.

    Markbano
