    What happened?

    I took a fairly long hiatus from BBC, but the bling forum was once one of my favorites. Seems as though the “bling” forum has died. Is no one adding bling or has the price of boats put a stop to it? Maybe the current state of the economy? I’m simply curious.

    Same here, used to love all the modifications, led installs etc. It just went away for some reason.

    Humor aside, you're probably 100% correct.

    Nothing but repairs for me; I haven't had time or budget to bling out my boat and trailer.

    I'm with you guys. I enjoy seeing what others do to their boat and trailers. I also like to watch the Boat Restoration forum. I like watching someone take an 80's or 90's rig and make it look new. I just wish I had some of their talent.

    Seems like the Bling is gone everywhere. Boats and trucks seem to have went the delete way. Less is More.... I do think the post above makes sense. The money has to go to the graphs and repairs lol

    If it makes you feel any better, I did have my kids help me rub Leprechaun Magic onto my '85 Skeeter yesterday afternoon since I didn't have time for a full wash and wax.
