A New Boat Soon! (Get something real like this)

Good choice:) Looks like a deal, as well. Bob is mainly looking for
a boat with a low PHRF rating so he can troll more effectively in the
NG. I would take the Crealock 34 in a heartbeat over the C&C.

Not exactly ideal for my area, that Crealock. The C&C will provide far more fun
on the water, plus I can beat on Loco and Steve even worse than before! At the
moment I have the better, nicer boat. But now it will be FAR faster as well!
The Crealock is beautiful as are most of the Pacific Seacrafts.

You might want to rethink some of that. I have heard a rumor that
Steve and Loco are negotiating for an A-Scow. If so, you might just
want to save your money for good binocs so you can see them before
they disappear over the horizon:) Speed is always relative. Quality
is a bit more timeless.

The C&C is a nicely finished yacht. The Crealock is better in that regard, but
it will be DIW on some August days here. When I'm in my 60s, the Crealock will
make more sense.

What do you expect? An informed decision out of Bobsprit?
Ha ahaah hah ahahahhah ah ah ah ha h ah ah ha h ah ah ah!

Hasn't happened yet. Will not happen in the future.

The man's a big baby who doesn't have a clue what sailing's
all about. Never will, either, as long as he keeps boat-
hopping on has-been, outdated racer/cruisers.

Any Crealock makes a C&C look like junk. You just need to get up the
guts to go where the Crealock are designed to go. Open Ocean, Blue
Water, out of the sight of land, you know that place where your C&C
would be beat to pieces.

Are you kidding. He'll be able to post for another 2 years.

I think you would be better suted on the Vindo you keep trying to unload on the
for sale board.

Actually its 35 feet 6 inches.

But the real problem is that 7'3" draft - I thought you were talking about moving South.
If you want to race in the middle of the bay the deep keel isn't a problem - that's what
gives you the rating. But if you're looking for a quiet cove your options will get
limited.

Try a calculator. The 34XL is a tad under 36 feet, 4 feet longer than the 32.

crap:

I won't post the name of the boat presently. I'm working out a deal with the
owner, who is buying a Cat. We plan to own this boat by Spring 2005. She rates
around 90-95,


Wake up! You're dreaming again. A C&C 34 rates about 145.

Only on Lake Erie where the 7 ft keel slows you down plowing through the
mud.

Only if you have blinders one.

It doesn't take "guts," it takes either a maladapted personality or angry creditors.

Considering that lots of C&Cs have circumanvigated, you are obviously misinformed on this issue.
Although I'll give you 1/4 credit for taunting Boobsie..
