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?

Regardless Harry, here is a detailed listing of what was on our 32
footer when we sold it:





SPECS
· Twin 5.7L 260 hp Merc with Bravo 2 outdrives

· LOA 34'9"

· Beam 11'0"

· Dry weight 10,800 lbs

· Deadrise 17 degrees

· Fuel Capacity 186 US gallons
Is that right? 186 gallons? That seems awfully small for a boat
that size with twin gas engines.

Dan
Yep. It is not a bluewater boat but well suited for the Great Lakes.
About the same fuel capacity as a 25' Parker.
Great. How much on your 36 footer, or is that some sort of secret
also?
More than twice as much.


Great. We believe you Harry..........really we do.


What *you* believe or don't believe is totally without significance to me,
Jim. Despite the forced politeness here, I'm sure you know exactly how I
feel about you and the rest of the r.w. d.b.'s .



No. I don't know how you feel about me Harry. You had posted just last
week that you thought I was OK. I guess the fact that I proved you wrong on
a claim of yours in this thread puts me back into your "Not OK" category.
Very interesting.

So please let me know exactly what you think of me Harry.

I think of you as an interesting character, someone I would like to sit over
a couple of brews with. Unlike you I could care less about your political
leanings and my feeling about you has nothing to do with that.
