Navigator, big plastic boat. Never liked the lines or the look and

paid
the depreciation.



You are entitled to your opinion.

Ever been in one in 8 foot confused seas? Ever seen how they are
constructed?
Ever been in the engine spaces and seen the size of the main
stringers and the general construction and design of the important
elements of a boat? Ever spent 10 hours a day at cruise speed, 30
miles offshore on one? Have you owned one? Ever spent any serious
time underway on one? Have you piloted one in rough seas? Handled
one
in close quarter maneuvering? I suspect not.

Something tells me you don't like them and made your unsolicited
comments simply because I owned one.

I agree they are not "pretty" in the eyes of all, but they are
highly
regarded in marine surveyor's circles as being very well designed
and
built from a marine engineering point of view. They are basically
the
same boat as a Californian Yacht, the original Marshall design and
boat line which he sold and then purchased back a few years ago.

I could recite the main reason I decided to buy one, and the
opinions
of seasoned, larger boat owners who were underway on the one I had
but I doubt they would be meaningful to you. I also don't think that
the difference in what I originally paid for it and what I sold it
for almost 9 years later represented an excessive "hit",
depreciation-wise. Very few new boats hold their value well.

Don't quit your day job to become a marine surveyor.

Can you spell T-R-O-L-L ?

It's more than that. Eisbock is obviously successful and JPS is
Jealous
of the fact.

Anonymous trolls are the worst.

You can tell that the duck keeps a sharp eye on things. So much so
that he doesn't know how to spell Richard's handle.

There's not much dumber than a duck, unless, of course, it is a
right-wing duck. :)


This duck has two wings and they both function.


Really? You must keep the other wing hidden.
