Hey Wayne,,, that is funny.. my first sailboat was a Pearson Commander
built in 1964 ..

Let's see ,,, I owned her back in ??????? 1976. Ooops, I just forgot,,,
I owned another boat before her..

How many years of boating must one complete to be an "oldbee"?

If you have to ask, you'll never know... :-)

It's not a question of how many years of boating.

FWIW I like Mic's link posts too.

Fair enough but I know that you have the experience to filter out the
wheat from the chaff. There are others here who do not.

Why shouldn't non-profiting parties post links to sources of information
about boating products?



Wow, that got me in hot water....

When someone posts what a great company Smiley's Boat Electric and Storm
Door was to work with, they invariably post their PERSONAL experience story
about how Smiley, himself, came down to the boat at 4PM on Saturday and
replaced the bad starter solenoid on the old Perkins 4-108 and refused to
take the extra money tip for his trouble.

Look closely at this post.

Doesn't it sound like copy for a radio spot to be read during the boat show
on Saturday morning? The boater who posted about Smileys never wrote a
radio spot or other advertising copy. HIS post looks more genuine...and
is.

If I were a commercial interest trying to figure out how to spam the boat
newsgroups, for free of course, I'd write a great post about Smiley's....

They don't.

So, why are you spamming the newsgroups with it??

Your posting IP address in Toronto is hangin' out in your header....(c;

Careful now Larry, "Mic" gets *very* touchy when people question his
motives...

And we wouldn't want to rock his armchair web cruiser now, would we?



I think he should get out of the office more often and, at least, RUN the
software he's selling, don't you?.....even if he just boots it from the
"armchair web cruiser", eh?..(c;

If noone makes an issue out of these sales gimmicks, r.b.c. will soon look
like many of the other groups where you can't find anyone left talking
about boats, as they flee from yet another billboard in their living
rooms...you know....like the TV has become.

My first was a Hackercraft triple cockpit speed boat built in 1920 as
close as we could tell. Bought it in 1967, and was similar to this
one although a lot older and a few feet shorter:



How beautiful! I rode a new one at one of our in-the-water boatshows in
Charleston. I couldn't believe they just let them sit in the seawater salt
all day!

I did tell the guy I thought it unfair that he bought the Hackercraft slips
right next to the.....the.....BAYLINERS!....hee hee. I waited until the
bigwig from Brunswick was within earshot before I said it...(c;

There weren't any staples or pop rivets holding the Hackercrafts
together....

That's where the "discussion" part comes in. There are a lot
of pretty knowledgeable & experienced sailors & cruisers
here, and yet they don't agree all the time... strange world!
