NOW, about boats. It is well known among sailors that the bigger the
boat, the less it is sailed. Big boats tend to be marina queens.
My preference is for a Yanmar diesel because parts will not cost an
arm and leg.


No. Not about boats. It's all about your right-wingnut bull that you
seem to think you can dump on this newsgroup without a response. Well,
you can't. You're a loud-mouth, foul-mouth moron, who is all about you
and isn't interested in anyone else. You have no place in society, and
you work to make sure no one else has a place either.


Define "it". And don't go all hooky balooky on us. It's uncalled for.


You are definitely an "it."

Pay off your debts before you incur more debt in the form of a boat.

Just curious. How do you figure your mortgages afford you to double up
on boat payments.
If you want my opinion, the four of you sound like a bunch of lazy
morons.

Shush. When the mortgage comes up at 17% they will get wiped out on
cash flow. Liberal debtors, let them run off the cliff.

But for plume-de-fumer, I suspect it is pulling our legs and forget to
take the butt plug out. Think full of it.

You really have a foul mouth, besides being pretty stupid. I doubt any

for it.

I know you have financial problems, due to you mismanaging your money,
but there are things called fixed rate mortgages, just so you know.


If the rates go to 17%, I'll bet the bank will call your loan. Check
your mortgage. There is a provision for it. I hope you NEVER made a
late payment.


I'll bet you're too stupid to understand how a contract works. Oh wait,
I get it. You've never been able to get a mortgage...


Did you read the document, all of it? That's the contract you made with
the bank. Get back to us when you've read it and understand it, buffalo

There's a local guy around here that has loads of dough that he's
gained by rather undisclosed means that has an 85' "something" sitting
docked at Ky. Lake. Every fall he fires it up and ICW's his way to
Florida where it sits all winter and he flies back. then in the
spring, he fires it back up and moves it back to Kentucky lake and int
he fall he repeats the process.
And that's about it.

Too bad he doesn't post here.
Not sure what your point is.
If you take out Wayne, what you said he does is about 20 times the total
boating of all the so-called "boaters" posting here.
Was that your point?

Jim - About to give up on this trash heap. Almost every post here gets
deleted unread.


Wayn is a class Seaman, who enjoys his craft and lives on it at least
most of the time and takes it on many nautical mile excursions. He
uses his boat. That's not what I was talking about.


Further, I'd say about a million or multi million dollar craft just
sitting and not being used...if it's some type of tax hedge/write
off, or just plain pride of life syndrome.

I'd think that the money would be better used elsewhere. I'm in no
financial set up[ to waste much of anything let alone tie up anual
dock and maintenance fees that are worth more than a good yearly
working wage.


Sounds like lib complaining about how folks should spend their money to
me. That money he's spending goes to help the economy.
Surprised to hear you talking like that.
And gossiping to boot. You cast a lot of unsubstantiated aspersions on
this man, just looking like you're jealous of his boat.
Never heard that kind of talk about Eisbock, who spent years mostly
docked with a big boat and costly berthing.
You oughtta just spit out what you got against this man.
Make you feel better.
And like I said, yearly boating round trip from KY to FL is more than
the total of this group if you take out Wayne. And Greg and MMC too.
And me and Frogwatch too. Did at least 15 miles today chasing fish.
Hey, ain't it funny how us Florida folk do most the boating?
Makes sense too.
Even if that feller you're gossiping about is a drug-dealer or running a
whore house, he's more of a boater than most here. That's what counts.
Surprised we even got an Illinois boater here, what with your ice and
snow and prairie issues. Prairie's the worse right? Can't boat in a
prairie without putting sails on a wagon. Still ain't boating though.
Reason I mention that prairie sailing is I saw it in a movie.
So you toss out a hook and catch what, a groundhog?
But I'll say you're a real water boater for sure.
That's why I read your posts. A lot of boating content.

Jim - Don't care how big or little your boat is if you can talk boat.

The strategy of buying less than you can afford works well because
everyone always under estimates the cost of essential upgrades and
maintenance. It is important to try and estimate the upgrades and
maintenance as closely as possible and then double that number.

It is also important to try and nail down your ongoing expenses for
storage, both in and out of the water, and insurance. Insurance
costs
vary by location, length of season, cruising range, and quality of
policy. There are big differences in policies, not always readily
apparent until you scrutinize the fine print.

The most expensive thing of all is buying the wrong boat, or
buying it
with the wrong people. That may sound obvious but it happens all
the
time. Have all of you spent a lot of time together on a boat
before?
If not, I'd highly recommend chartering a boat similar to what you
want for two weeks and sail it somewhere. You'll learn a lot about
the boat, the people, and whether or not you really like the life
style.

Yes, good point about insurance. We haven't really talked about
that much, nor investigated, other than saying, yes, we need some.

We're going to charter... definitely the smart thing to do. Might
have an opportunity to do that for about a six-week stretch this
summer. We've spent some time on a boat, but not more than a few
weeks. I think it's a viable plan. Perhaps we could just live in a
van in parking lot behind a 7/11 for a few weeks. Seems like that
would be pretty close. :)


The former Larry from Charleston (yes, the half decent Larry) had a
little spiel that he wrote whenever someone dreamed about spending a
lot of time on a cruising sailboat.
It got the point across.


I'd love to see it. Is there a link?


I wonder if he's hanging around the rec.boats.cruising newsgroup?
I'll ty and put a feeler out.

"ty" harder.

No. Not about boats. It's all about your right-wingnut bull that you
seem to think you can dump on this newsgroup without a response. Well,
you can't. You're a loud-mouth, foul-mouth moron, who is all about you

Define "it". And don't go all hooky balooky on us. It's uncalled for.


You are definitely an "it."

I'd be interested to hear what those who've made major purchases,

as for a boat, have done (or not done) along these lines. Did you
pretty
much go all in or did you do something similar?


Pay off your debts before you incur more debt in the form of a boat.

Just curious. How do you figure your mortgages afford you to
double up
on boat payments.
If you want my opinion, the four of you sound like a bunch of lazy
morons.

Shush. When the mortgage comes up at 17% they will get wiped out on
cash flow. Liberal debtors, let them run off the cliff.

But for plume-de-fumer, I suspect it is pulling our legs and
forget to
take the butt plug out. Think full of it.

You really have a foul mouth, besides being pretty stupid. I doubt any
woman would put up with you for more than 10 minutes unless you pay
for it.

I know you have financial problems, due to you mismanaging your money,
but there are things called fixed rate mortgages, just so you know.

If the rates go to 17%, I'll bet the bank will call your loan. Check
your mortgage. There is a provision for it. I hope you NEVER made a
late payment.

I'll bet you're too stupid to understand how a contract works. Oh wait,
I get it. You've never been able to get a mortgage...


Did you read the document, all of it? That's the contract you made
with the bank. Get back to us when you've read it and understand it,
buffalo butt.


Hey dummy... if you didn't catch it... I'm a lawyer. Some of my friends
are lawyers. We tend to read contracts. Can you read? I think someone is
typing your posts for you...


You are no more a lawyer than I am, but I have a job. And you?

too much money according to Obama. Most attorneys are dems because

Having gotten that rant out of my system I will not discuss it more
but will stick to discussing the sailboat. Big mono-hulls are a poor
investment but a catamaran depreciates slower. You will also have
more places to keep her in shallow water. I believe that integrated
over time that a catamaran is safer than a mono because it allows you
to get into shallow water thru questionable inlets or into shallow
anchorages that are well protected during storms.

Following this new and twisted logic, with your trailer house in the

You completely misunderstood what mmc said.

I'll decide when I want to answer a flake's questions.

There's a local guy around here that has loads of dough that he's
gained by rather undisclosed means that has an 85' "something" sitting
docked at Ky. Lake. Every fall he fires it up and ICW's his way to
Florida where it sits all winter and he flies back. then in the
spring, he fires it back up and moves it back to Kentucky lake and int
he fall he repeats the process.

And that's about it.

So, Tim. Given that I started a thread about boats and it was polluted
by right-wing bs, I don't see you having much to say about how these
two
bozos are off topic. Yet, when someone on the left makes a political
statement, you get bent out of shape. Why is that?

It might just be something else besides your politics. The fact that you
