Just think in another 8 to 10 years, you will think back and will not be able to remember when you had hair and a 32 waist! Or what you had for lunch! :tofunny:

Webbie: Are you aware that when you click on the link for my relic I get a 404 Server error?

edit: same error on the first 3 items in "1999".

Sorry was a little quick to the post. The 1999 and 2000 folders are still uploading. Give it an hour or so and they should be live.

My Adobe is having trouble opening the 2009 Signature and Sports Yacht brochure. Could you check to see if file is damaged?

Thanks for the brochure.

I downloaded and added to my boat documents for reference.

I appreciate the effort to provide this information. It is a fair amount of work to collect and set up the access to it.

Does anyone else get an error message when trying to download the 1996 sportboat brochure? It keeps saying the file cannot be found?

It's over a 60mb sized file. It could be your internet connection timing out or an issue with your PDF reader through a browser. What might work better is if you right click on the file and then click on "Save Target As" or "Save Link As" (depending on which browser you are using).

It errors for me when I just click on it, but it saves down to my hard drive just fine if I right click as I suggest above. Try that and let us know how it works out for you.
