Hey, we have a truce over political posts. Lets see if it works. Do
you have a boat? What kind?
10-4.

Three of 'em - well, one is "mine" in the sense that I bought it, but
I don't "own" it.

In order, just because you asked:

'96 LeizureKraft 26' poontoon powered by a '96 60 hp Johnson two
stroke. I might repower with a four stroke 90 or ETEC - not sure yet.
This is the one I bought but don't "own". There are pictures of it
around.

2000 20' Ranger bay boat with 200 hp HO ETEC - there are pictures of
it around.

2008 Grady White Canyon 336 with triple ETECs currently located in
Charleston, SC - my kids use it for now, but I'm heading down in
another week for a little vacation. Haven't taken any pictures of it
yet as I want to rent a R-22, have one of the kids run it and take
from aerial images.

Trip eTecs...gotta love it...as do the Arabs. You go, guy.

And you keep right on saving your pennies from your crappy low paying
job as a "contract" writer so you can go out more than 25 hours a
summer.



Sorry, Moron, but I "surpassed" 25 hours this season by 15 May.
And I don't have a "job," I have a handful of clients, four-fifths of
whom are long-term clients.

Trip eTecs...sheesh. It's bad enough to be dumb enough to buy any boat
that requires *THREE* big horse outboards, but *THREE* eTecS? Well, I
suppose if you are buying eTecs, three is a good move. One surely will
be running when you need to get back to port.

BTW, while I do "contract" writing, what I actually do for my clients,
marketing-wise, is just a "tad" more complicated than contract writing.
As an example, one of my financial services clients recently started up
a new offering for medium to large unions and pension funds. I did the
marketing research in person, via the phone and via email, helped the
client shape the offering to the stated needs of the prospective
investors, prepared the narrative portions of the legal descriptions and
prospectus, prepared brochures, prepared web pages, prepared sales
letters, and prepared quarterly newsletters. I also publicize the
product. I also arrange photography for the investment properties, and
prepare and place feature articles about them.

Yeah. Writing, but a bit more.

What are you doing these days, aside from acting the moron on rec.boats,
and making pronouncements that are so ****-filled, you probably have
fresh brown hair growing on top of your head.
