Default The French Jap

Do you really think anyone believes your "I bought it for half price
and then sold it for triple" stories? Gawd, what a jackass!

Uh, this is your response to the boats that were "raced hard?"

Gee, I think doing 12 to 14 knots for a few hours straight is a lot
of
fun. So is doing 100 miles in a day.

This was probably Doug's reasoning to buy a powerboat. You're actually
suggesting that sailing your boat is as entertaining as sailing a fast
monohull? Or as challenging? Puh-lease!

You want everyone in the entire world to agree that
your boat is the best for every purpose and that every other boat made
sucks by comparison.

Actually, and in all honesty, I don't think Moorons, or even Sloco's
boat sucks. Sloco's Express is old, but it can be kick ass fun.
Mooron's boat is probably a real pleasure in certain conditions. But I
do think your boat sucks for a family who wants to enjoy the thrill of
sailing...simply because it's pedestrian and offers no thrills. That's
the damn selling point of the thing! No heeling, dryer ride, greater
comfort and so on. It's not what most sailors want or dream about. And
anyone looking to do a little racing is certanly left out.

So keep trying to claim you have the best boat ever made, Booby.

Never said that, Jeff. I said it was the best boat here. And that's a
fact. You're not taking your PDQ any distances now. Have you used it
much this season? A fast fun monohull like mine would suit you better.
Mooron can make a case because he likes full keelers. And here's
another thing that sucks about your boat: It offers no workout. When we
took out the 35s5 we found we could sail it easy, or push things an get
a real workout on her. Can you do that with the PDQ? Sure, set up a
Bowflex on the deck. Sorry, Jeff. We like sailing and the work and
"discomforts" associated with that. To us the PDQ was about as
interesting as a Trawler.

And what makes you think I have no sense of humor?

Because you've yet to compliment me on my wit and skills trolling this
group. You actually have no idea who I am or even if I have a
boat...yet all of you scamper around me like frustrated seal pups! And
THAT'S funny!

35s5...a better boat than Jeff's.
