The group has been very quiet without the customary trolls and
insults.

Will we miss him when he's *really* gone?

Stay tuned, it's quite possible.

For all his obnoxiousness, he does keep the group alive. And with
Skipper's demise, and the disappearance of Jax Ashby, he does have big
shoes to fill.

"Well, everyone could go to a Bluegrass Festival. I didn't miss him at all!!"



It probably goes right over your head Johnny, but this is a boating group and some actual boaters frequent here.
Not everyone would be happy at one of your hillbilly jamborees.....some would rather be out on the Water.



We never hear you talking bout yer boat Donnie. Did you sell it?????

Why...are y'all interested?
I could give y'all a good deal if you pay in Yankee dollahs.


I wouldn't want to deprive you of being an "actual boater".

And besides, I've never had the pleasure of owning a Bay-Liner and
I'm too old and wise to aquire one now.

I think that in the end it all comes down to what your usage end
expectations are. One of my neighbors has a mid 20s center console
with a couple of large Mercs on it. He seems to like it just fine but
they only go out once or twice a month, and always keep it covered in
a boat lift. If he was fishing it hard every day in the Gulf, or on
the east coast in the ocean, I suspect his experience would be
different.


That actually sounds like what most of the offshore guys run here
fishing out about 40-60 miles. Those grouper cost them about $100 a
pound ;-)
That kind of boat made sense when gas was 45 cents a gallon.
It was 2.759 the last time I filled my cans. The 50 gallons that lasts
me a month or more would barely get them out of sight of land.
