A cursory search disclosed a 65 foot steel offshore lobster. I don't

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.

On drugs, eh?

On another note, I'm sure an experienced Iowa lake boater would have
an easy time of it out on the Atlantic off the coast of Maine. For
about five minutes. Then...they'd be searching for your body.

What part of send some guys out on shares didn't you read, dip****.
Lobster, or any other, commercial fishing is far too much work.

I hate to be the one that breaks this to you, but offshore lobstering
isn't like offshore swordfishing. Most lobster fishermen own and run
their own boats, or, if they own a small fleet, the other others are run
by relatives or close friends. Further, these smaller commercial fishing
craft sent out entirely on "shares" typically are owned by experience
lobstermen.

It's a bit out of the experience realm of an Iowa boater. Perhaps you
should consider running for the governor's mansion in Alaska, where you
apparently don't need to know anything.

I'm not an expert on this, but aren't you letting your sentences run on
a bit? Also your punctuation stinks.

Yup, but he's an expert lobster man. Hell, he owns his own boat, right? He
compares lobstering to swordfishing. Like comparing something to squeezing
smelly pustules. He's expert at all of them.
