Apparently, there have been a fairly large number of posts since
midnight, but I didn't come across any that were pleasure boat/sport
fishing related. That's really too bad.

With all the respect that's due, shouldn't your post have been labelled 'OT', or
just not made at all?

LMAO!


He did mention boats and fishing. That's more than most posters here do
these days. Therefore, he was on topic.

And it was related to the health and well being of the group which
*should* be a topic of some concern.




Not to worry. There's only a handful of active boaters left here. Most
potential newbies who encounter the likes of Ziggy, Crotchrot, the ID
spoofers, LG, BAr, et al, who are not boaters, will simply leave because
the signal-to-noise ratio is so low. The "boys" have been asked to stop.
Even Herring has asked them to stop, but...they cannot. They won't be
happy until they are the only ones here.

Now, just to get back on topic, the bottom of my new boat is still
unpainted. The boat wasn't in the water very long this fall, and only
had a bit of grass here and there, which I removed. I told myself I'd
spend some time this winter investigating anti-fouling bottom paints.
The boat will be hauled at the end of every season, which points me in
one direction for paint, and I want black. My plan is to visit some of
the larger boat yards and see what they are using locally. Beyond that,
any recommendations?
