This is a board to discuss boats right? Although there are boat
related threads on this board, there is also a lot of garbage here. I
really don't see how overweight, bald, middle-aged men's opinions on
the ecomomy, politics, or brain-dead women relate to boating. Maybe
I'm wrong and the name of this board is really just a front so
overweight, bald, middle-aged men can share their opinions on the
ecomomy, politics, and brain-dead women. Please let me know because
I'm looking for intelligent boating opinions.


So John tell us about your boat, or if you haven't got one yet then
what you'd like to get or even just your general views on recreational
boating.

Lots of actual boaters here are only too happy to help or even have a
good argument about a boating subject which is not such a bad thing if
it helps us all think a bit more about the issues.

Honestly start a boating thread & I can assure you you'll get a
response, probably many.

Alternatively you can kill file those you think don't make on topic
threads, some even kill file those they just don't agree with, but of
course that cuts them off from ever having to actually think about a
contrary view which is not too bright:-) I see you post through google
so probably use an MS web browser/news reader (outlook??) so you can set
them up pretty easily, again just ask the NG in your new on topic
boating thread??

The Krause lie for today is the one where he tries to say that he
can claim he "owns" a boat if he just goes out on a boat.

Just as he used to email pics around the NG contributors but always
on a "charter" boat!!! This lying idiot then claims that's because he
learns more about fishing in his bay:-)

One has to own something to use it? Hmmm. My bride drives off in her
car every day,
but she doesn't own it.
I'm not crabby. You asked for advice I gave you some.

I questioned your wanting to take a very small boat out into high
seas and suddenly you turned sour.

It's your pot; you are the one stewing in it.



No, it is the boat of a friend. It is a 24' ProLine center console with,
if I recall, a 225 hp Merc on it. It was a dark and stormy day in
January (1997) when we went out, but the sky cleared once we got
out to the Gulf Stream.

Bride and I caught and released:

1 white marlin
12-15 yellowtail snappers, maybe two pounds each. Pretty, pretty
fish.
Assorted red snappers
1 amberjack
2 jack crevalle jacks
1 snook
Nondescript sharks
