Sage Marine can host the forum. No charge. The software is vbulletin. Have an Mboat section currently -

I can add moderators to the Mboat section. Create new subforums (ie,
for
each boat type). The software will host photos and document attachments (videos are still best done on YouTube and linked to a post in the forum).
A moderator system would be good so if there is a problem with a post/user a group can make decisions instead of an individual (I've done such a thing with forums I've moderated for 10+ years).

I Like the idea keeping the listserv, I've enjoyed it for many years, through 2 M-17s. I don't mind the addition of a photosite, but I don't want it to detract from this community. My $.02.
