Watch out for Jeff, Gary. He'll go to ANY level to troll.


Any level??? I'll even use the truth!

Except there is no hotplate. Oops...you lied.


Well, I don't think you identified the model - it looked like a stove
top plunked down on top of the built in stove.


If you have a propane system that you trust, what good is
an electric system that only works dockside?

More lies. I've already posted we're converting the system. Propane
does not belong on a boat.


But, you just bragged about a "dual use" system, now you're claiming
its so dangerous you're removing it.

Actually, I have no problem with those who think propane is unsafe,
though I think there are very few problem when its properly installed.
I only have one appliance, the stove, and its not even gimbaled so
there's one continuous hose from the locker. Also, the locker is
vented not just by a small tube, but with an opening of about 6 square
inches.

But this leaves the question, if you remove the propane, how do you
run the stove? You can dance around this all day, but firing up a
genset to make coffee in the morning is not ideal for a small cruising
boat.



Mine has 8 overhead hatches, plus 8 opening
side hatches.

Lie #3 from Jeff. Jeff ALREADY ADMITTED that he's had some oppressive
nights on his boat. I bet if he was honest he'd admit that air
conditioning would be nice on occasion. I'd really prefer to skip those
oppressive nights and flip the switch, esepcially since AC came with
our boat.


And again Bob tries to bull**** his way out of this. What I said is
that in staying dockside for most of a year in FL there were a few
nights that were oppressive. Actually, I'd even agree that if I were
to live at the dock year round I might opt for A/C, though might wife
might veto it.

However, I've never had any desire or need for A/C while cruising.
Running a genset all night to power A/C on a small boat in an
anchorage is an abomination. Its no surprise that Booby doesn't
agree. In fact, he just sounds like an idiot by repeatedly bragging
about A/C that he can only use in the marina, while claiming that he
doesn't need ventilation!



He's spent 20% overvalue for the boat, then paid
another 5% to ship it up.

Yet another lie. We paid aprox 8K below market and 5 K below 3 35s5's
sold recently. And we have what is probably the nicest example with new
gear.


The BUC value is $50-55K, and there seem to be a number asking well
under $70K. But I'm sure you have to keep telling yourself you got a
good deal.


But he's already told us how after a a few seasons of
racing they can't pass survey, so he's out on a limb with this one.

Another lie. Jeff can't post a link to my saying any such thing. I
found a single boat out of four with a deck problem after a mast was
dropped on it.


I think you were quite explicit when you said: "We really loved the
boat, but could not find one that hadn't been raced to death."


So, Jeff lies and lies.


I know they look like lies - but they're actually quotes from you!


What drives him batty is that I can be so
brutal about his boat and do it with honest comments,


Right, it really hurt me when you said my boat doesn't heel. What
other faults did you find - too much ventilation?

while he has to
make stuff up...and do it badly at that! HE SAID that for sailing fun
he goes to play with his dinghy. So he admits that PDQ aint a whole lot
of fun. Truth...even if he won't admit to it after admitting to it!


Yup. If I want to do an hour of daysailing I just hop in a small boat
at my club. I don't have to spend $60K for a daysailer.
