Donal, No one is saying Jim will not enjoy his purchace. Most just
say he could of done one hell of a better job in judging what to buy
and enjoy then he did.

You can enjoy an old soapbox derby car made from okra crates and old
lawn mower wheels, but why stick with that ol soapbox car when you can
buy a Jaguar. You might enjoy the Jaguar more then the soapbox car if
your smart enough to understand that a jaguar is a better set of
wheels.

I know why your defending him. It's because, like him you paid to
much for a second rate production boat. You and Jim are birds of a
feather. I wonder if jims mac is going to have loose floorboards?

Like one would enjoy stubbing one's foot on the stump of gullibility?

You should re-evaluate your requirements .... or lower your expectations!

You were doing well until you got to the "loose floorboards" bit.

My empathy for Jim lies in the fact that I used to own a Bayliner 2455. I
had 10 great years on it. With hindsight, I would have chosen a different
boat. However, I don't regret my choice for a second.


Jim won't regret his purchase because he is sensible enough to sail a boat
within its limits. It won't perform in the way that he expects. That
doesn't really matter. He will still get enormous pleasure from sailing.

That's a really good power boat. One of my best friends has one. Even after
5 years he can still get close to what he paid for it. it's a well balanced
and well laid out vessel with great windows in the cabin to offer a
fantastic view.

However I fail to see what this has to do with Jim buying a POS......

You neet to restrict your comments to sailing vessels.

Oh no Donal... my nautical knowledge base is quite vast. The Bayliner 2455
Ciera Classic is a fine power boat. Solid lines and good performance. Sort
of like the Benneteau of power boats... only better.

Kinda like the redneck pickup truck of fishing boats, only worse.

Exactly, the only thing what matters is what Jim thinks about his
boat. But I don't think that's the point. The point is that he
justifies his purchase with wrong assumptions in the eyes of most
people (the vocal ones, that is) in this newsgroup, and those
assumptions are attacked IMO. I do think it's a pitty that those
discussions end in a name calling contest, though.....


Cheers!

Now Now Now...... not all dissenters and beraters were reduced to name
calling. Yet Donal specifically took issue with me despite my civil but
persistent replies.
