Imaginary lobster?

A cursory search disclosed a 65 foot steel offshore lobster. I don't
think it's very Zimmerman like. Maybe longliner like. I am going to
imagine I wrote a check for the 200 000. If I lived in Maine, not
Iowa, I really would buy a fair sized lobster. Find some guys and send
them out on shares. There is a 20 footer for sale for $7500, but that
is a bit small. On a slightly related note, there is a used 19 foot
Boston Whaler for 35 000. An outboard. Those people are obviously
nuts. Buys like my two grand 22 foot aluminum sterndrive are not
particularly scarce. There are going to be a bunch of unemployed boat
owners. Maybe even an affordable 35 foot Zimmerman like Lobster. Or
ask Zimmerman to build a lobster like yacht. Whatever.

Prices on imaginary boats are all over the place this year. Bargain
hard and keep looking for the right one. It's out there, limited
only by your, errrr, imagination. :-)
Indeed, there are many trawlers and pseudotrawlers like yours on the
market, but...they make really ungainly planters.
