Last year I was asking on the forum the formula to make a circle using a straight piece of pvc. Of course I got the answer. Well with that knowledge and lots of trials and tribulations I have designed a new product for the boating community. It is called the JETSKICORRAL. It is an on water docking system for jetskis but could be used for small boats or jet boats etc.. It can set up in about ten minutes. It has a bridle that slides over a mooring buoy. The mooring ball is anchored using an auger with ten feet of chain. (I tried different small anchors but they couldn't hold it in place) off the bridle are four tees that hold poles that form the four pens. The poles expand from 3ft out to 9 ft.and have fenders on them. The bridle has a line to secure the ski. My first thought was if a group of skiers were out for the days they would have a place to put them without having to beach them. After surveying a majority of people said people could them if they had cottage on the water. Or rental places restaurants on the water. The corral is meant to be in shallow water.....2or 3feet. All this collapses down to three feet and can be stored in a bag I designed. It is extremely portable. If you have seen the seadoo ad it shows skis that are backed into each other and taking off. Same thing without the corral. Any comments good or bad are welcomed.

I am not trying to "hawk" my product on here. I am looking for some opinions. When I first started this 9 months ago I asked some advice from members. But if that in violation of the rules that wasn't my intention. You're right I have been a member almost since the inception of the forum and have learned a lot and have shared many ideas also.
Brian, the biggest problem I have with this is that you didn't "reanchor" last year but are trying to circumvent the system by posting your email in text. Yes, you solicited design help from the people here and yes, you are trying to sell the system here as well as solicit mfg. reps here. If it was a "hey, I built this and thought I'd share the design with you all" then that would be one thing. But this appears to be a commercial venture so, therefore, is subject to the rules regarding ads.
Les,
Why not capture these opportunities for new products? In other words, let such people that want to go crazy with new stuff, post such in a forum that they pay for? Like a forum "Cool new Sh-t". I am the cro-magnum man as far as vocabulary, but think it may help this site

Walter Les does allow this you need his permission 1st it's also nice to be anchored as part of the requirement. The boating approved courses guy is a prime example. See the ad above and notice the guy has a boaters safety section or forum?
Before Les allowed this we discussed it in NBR. Everyone at the time agreed it would be a good idea. At the same time I don't know why Les asked us but I guess he valued the RO's input. He is entitled to do whatever he wants with the board but he felt strongly enough about it to discuss it with the anchored members.
