[FONT=Times New Roman]Above is a sample of the kind of information found in our monthly newsletter.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=2]If you are interested in Silverton boats, whether you own one or are shopping for one, consider joining the club where you can find out where the best prices on parts are, and get into the information network. We have membership applications posted in various locations on this bulletin board and on the homepage. The cost is downright cheap. Did you realize that $28 a year works out to $2.33 a month? What else can you buy for $2.33 ? you can't buy a gallon of gas for that. Not even lunch at McDonalds. So come in and pick our brain. Get all your questions answered. Are you a Canadian? We have a large Canadian community in this group. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=2]We all know there are plenty of free websites out there. However, they do not publish information. They are merely a bulletin board. We are much more than a bulletin board. We publish a 12 page monthly newsletter 12 months a year and email out the E-News 52 times a year. And we send it to your email box. No need to visit our bulletin board to find out what's going on, and read stories. This has to be worth $2.33 a month.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=2]You can join online and be on the board and receive your first newsletter and the last edition of the E-News by tonite. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=2]Don't want to join online? Call 302-322-5244 to join over the phone. Calls are taken 7 days a week. [/SIZE][/FONT]
