Okay...but don't ask for many more details, else the trolls will jump aboard. The boat is 37' LOA, and the diesels are Volvos, 250 hp each. In theory, she will do 20-23+ knots, but I don't really know, since the engines have not nearly completed break-in. We were running at 9 to 14 knots, mostly, varying the RPMs a lot. We actually hit 2-3 footers on the way to Deale. No biggie out on the ocean, but around here, that usually means a pretty stuff chop. The hired skipper backed her right into the slip perfectly the first time and probably could have done it blindfolded. He pulled out and I backed in askew three times, but didn't whack anything. I was too occupied to try it with the bow thruster. My BP these days hovers around 116/68...I know it was a lot higher later today. :) Why would you want that when you have a 36' Zimmerman like lobsta' boat? This must be snotty " machine Gun " Ingerfool posting. |

When you make up your invited list, leave out the unappreciative rabble like JohnnyH Hey, Don, what do you think happened to his 36' Zimmerman like lobsta' boat? If you're that concerned.... ask him! I sold it some time ago. i posted that fact here. We wanted something a bit more luxurious with more "interior" room. I'm pretty sure it isn't my job to keep loogy, flajim, little tosk, smithers, and the lesser turds up to date. You're a ****ing liar and you as well as everyone here knows it. |

Withholding might cause then to act out their frustrations on family & close friends or co-workers (if they have any... aka The Freak) I don't envy you this awesome responsibility. ;-) Please show the post where the infamous 36' lobsta' boat was sold. |

wrote: At eight knots, according to the boat manufacturer and engine distributor, the boat will burn between 3.5 and four gallons of diesel an hour. I did no fuel burn testing yesterday. That's probably about right for 8 kts but you will carbon up your turbos and rings in no time at all if you run at that speed for long durations. Fuel will look cheap compared to the overhaul. If I were you, I'd be out on it today. Once you get the hang of docking a twin engine boat it should be easy to take out by yourself, and you can probably run all day on only $300 to $600 of fuel. What the heck, it's only money big spender. |

I'm pleased *you* are so concerned about how much I might spend on fuel while boating, w'hine, but I'm not concerned. I rarely run a boat's engines "all day," and on those occasions when I do, I have the money to pay for the fuel. -- Guns Don't Kill People -- Fundamentalist Religion Kills People! |

I'm sure some of our resident archivists will be able to dig up the post where you explained why you sold the 24 ft Parker because it burned too much fuel. |

It was that my Harry could not afford the fuel, as a good global citizen, no one should own a boat that big unless he was a commercial fisherman. My Harry believed that anyone with a large boat, should be taxed till they could no longer afford it. He also believes we should outlaw handguns. -- Dr. Karen Grear For a good time contact a bricklayer. Bricklayers do it longer and harder. |
