If I sell my current boats, I'm looking at a couple of 30-32
footers, one a "name brand," and the other built over on the Eastern
Shore. After many years, I've decided that is the optimum size for
what I want to do on the water, especially since I'm usually the
only person aboard with boat-handling skills, and larger boats
typically require at least one additional crew member willing to
learn line-handling. Most of my fishing buddies feel at the top of
their form if they can get into the boat without falling off the
dock.
We know what you are looking to get for the Parker.

How much for the 36 footer? What is she equipped with?
crickets
Yep.

Are you under the delusion I read all of your posts here? Is Dumbo Dan?

The answers: Under $500,000 and everything.





You provided exact details on what was on your 25 footer yet details of
what is on the more luxurious 36 footer is a big secret.

Go figure.

Happy New Year Harry.


No, I didn't provide "exact details." I provided general details. Exact
details would have been sigificantly more "exact."

Our Parker is a factory production boat. Its particulars are available
on-line at the manufacturer's site. We have some options and I've added a
few. That's all there is to that song.

Why would you care about the price or options on either boat. You're not a
prospective purchaser. I don't recall asking you about the financial
transactions or complete equipment lists relating to your boat.


You did not have to. A full web page with pictures and description was
listed on the net. In fact, you used that source to find out my full name
and phone number. Remember?
