OK I will start by introducing myself. My name is Scott and I have a 2003
MAXUM 3300 SE. I purchased this boat new at the end of the 2003 season and
had it splashed for the very 1st time in April 2004. It has twin 5.7L Merc.
350's rated at 250 HP each with Bravo 3 drives.It had every available option
except a generator and the navigation electronics, which is fine for me
because Maxum uses Raymarine equipment and I prefer Garmin. So i had the
generator installed and added a Tracvision 4 in motion satellite tracking
system and a Garmin 3006C color chartplotter with the GDL-30 XM satellite
weather receiver.This thing is awesome. I can see live weather radar on my
chartplotter in real time and get up to the minute weather forecasts. I love
my boat and how I equipped it. I cruise on the Potomac River and Chesapeake
Bay. How about everyone else? Where do you boat and what kind of boat do you
have? I am new to this group but hope I will fit in. Scott.

This is a boat newsgroup not politics, so can we keep the discussion to
boats only please?
Lets go. You start.
34ft very old clinker hulled full cabin cruiser, 65Hp diesel power,
does 9-10 kts flat out & cruises 6-7 kts on 1 ltr/nautical mile. Most
of the home comforts, no installed genset but carry a petrol unit (2 KVA
way too noisy!!! wish it were one of those new Hondas:-))
The boat has been in the family a long time & is much loved by many,
family & strangers alike:-) But like all old friends; has some off days:-)
Mostly protected cruising waters with occasional coastal hops to new
grounds. The coastal runs are planned around the weather.

So the Krause lie of the day??? Here ya go:-)
So just getting back to the Hatt 43 lie:-) What happened was at
least 2 of the NG people lived near where he "claimed" he did & said
they'd settle if he owned a Hatt 43 or not by simply calling around &
taking a look:-) After all his usual abuse & fained "privacy" concerns
it was starting to look like his lying hide was about to be hung out to
dry:-)
This would be more than his ego could even contemplate, so in his
desperation not to be caught red handed (again:-)) he then lied again;
which despite it being totally unbelievable it allowed his damaged mind
to think he was still the big man his lies had created:-)
Doubt save to organise employment wrecking union strokes he's never
even been to Florida but he desperately needed to get away from the lie
mansion & the lie Hatt 43:-)
We had the Hatteras for two years. Last year, out of the cold clear,
a broker approached me with an offer to buy. Our continued Florida
lifestyle was somewhat up in the air, because the two breadwinners
hereabouts were about to be offered long-term but temporary assignments
they could not refuse in the Washington, D.C., area. So, after being
romanced a little, we sold the Hatt for almost precisely what we paid
for it. Not bad, after two full years of use. And I mean full years. So,
we didn't "make" any money off the Hatt, but we didn't lose any, either.
The proceeds were prudently invested.
