Harry,
While many of us spend days and weeks boating, and don't read of post in
rec.boats during that time, you are never away from your keyboard more than
a few hours. How can you possibly spend any time boating. A few years ago
someone set up a macro to track the time you were making post, and it showed
that you never had any time to go boating.

That is the reason you now don't allow your posts to be archived. You
looked too foolish when you did.

You spend more on repairing your boat in a year than I spend on fishing
gear in five.

If I spend $1000/year on repairs, for how many years can I repair my boat
and
spend less than the cost of a new Parker that spends its life on a
trailer?


Silly posit, Herring. Your boat spends most of its life on a rack at a
boatel.

If you are claiming you use your boat more than I use my Parker, that may
be true. I have other boats, and a canoe I like to paddle out on the
Shenandoah. Or at least half-interest in a canoe.

Also, the way we use our boats is different. You mostly hang around
Herring Bay and drag baits, and I like to get out and see and enjoy new
places, or visit old places I like. Many times, the only fishing rod
aboard is a five footer I keep stashed in the cabin for "emergencies."
