I think the boats you are talking about are out of the range of your
average Joe Six-Pack.
True dat but, maybe they won't have to lay off the guy/gal building
the seat cushions in the galley. Maybe he/she can afford to buy
that skiff....... since they won't be out looking for another job.

Das good news indeed.

Indeed... And that is exactly the guy I am planning on putting back
on the water, much to the shegrin of Harry and the other rich bottle
boaters.


See, now there is yet another example of your ignorance. *I* am the one
here who has been railing against the "yachties," their overblown boats,
their wasting of petrol, and the need for huge surtaxes on the amounts
of fuel they burn.


My yacht burns more or less 8 GPH at reasonable cruise. Any yacht that
burns more than that Should be heavily taxed and fuel rationed. I'm with
you Hairball.



What yacht is that, JimmyBobBoy? I thought you played the banjo while
sitting on the old refrigerator on your front porch.


Sorry Harry. You got me confused with the fella you saw down by the river
when you were out playing shoot em up with your geriatric, mercinary wanna
be, friends.
