Default Does your boat reflect you?

I'm looking at the usual suspects in the 21-23 OAL length. Nothing
exotic. Precision is still high on the list. I'll know it when I see
it.


Like this...????

No.

Nice classic look but too heavy, too much draft, and I have too many
building projects currently underway to take on a boat.

You realize that if you purchased that PW 19, you'd have a larger
cockpit than Nutsy's 35-5.

I've already had several boats that had larger cockpits than the
boobspits wife's boat. The Columbia 24 shown had a larger cockpit
and, because it was a flush deck, it had more usable deck space.

When you add a quarter acre swim platform to the aft end of a boat,
you have to give up something. Cockpit space and general handling
characteristics come to mind.

That's what he's asking. Only idiots who know nothing about boats think
the
asking price is the selling price. Lets see which other rocket scientists
the
same mistake you just made.


Oh, my mistake there Krusty! If I offered the asking price, he would turn
down the offer right away and lower the price just for me! To the selling
price no less!

BTW if you haven't figured it out,asking 26K$ for a West Wight Potter 19
shows major stoopidity on the part of the seller. The boat is built from a
mold formed from a plywood boat, the hull stringers are cardboard,
automotive electrical fittings, the winch placement and mainsheet rigging
are not symettric, fiberglass resin puddles in the bilge (approximately 250
pounds worth), miniature cockpit drains, and on and on and on.

My Newport has a larger cockpit than RB's too.

Better read that ad again, Charlie. He's asking $19K, not $26K. You taking
reading comprehension lessons from BS?


I wasn't really even recommending that particular boat for Frank -
just the WWP 19 in general. It's a good boat for doing exactly what
he is talking about. The only question would be if it is large enough.

CWM


I'd recommend looking at a used WWP19 with the tall rig. Don't pay more than
5K$ with the trailer.

Weaknesses:
Keel trunk
Keel winch system
Warped front hatch
Asymettric topside deck mold
Keel rust
Asymmetric mainsheet rigging
Hardware may have to be replaced
Plastic cleats
Rudder retention pin
Has the lines of a streamlined Bolger box

Plusses:
Built like tank
Sails like tank
Easy to sell
Mega room inside for its size
Simple, easy to rig
Has the lines of a streamlined Bolger box

Lordy!

Thanks for that uniformly uninformed tip, Bob. If I'm ever in the market
for a
WWP, I'll remember your sage advice.

CWM


It is sage advice. You are just the guy for a WWP19. Are you wearing a
uniform? I'm not wearing anything at the moment. When I fart in this folding
metal chair it is really loud.
