A Parker wouldn't make that bad a coastal cruiser, especially if you
like marinas, motels, and restaurants, which we would prefer even we
had, say, a nice Grand Banks. Two small four stroke motors?

Sounds like a plan. Why don't we meet up somewhere down in the
southern Caribbean next February. Your outboard Parker will be quite
a conversation piece down there.

You miss the coastal part? I would cruise Iowa, which is between the
two biggest rivers in North America, first, then on to Halifax. You
can also trailer a Parker.


Probably the best production boat in that size range for the type of
cruising you describe is the Rosborough RF-246 Sedan Cruiser.

We've seen a bunch and people just love them, very neat little boats.
There are a number of different power options including an inboard
diesel if memory is correct.

Here is some good info on diesel prices.

http://www.dieselserviceandsupply.co...el_prices.aspx

Worldwide demand for diesel has gone way up.

===

Good information, thanks.

It is obviously biased away from popular folk wisdom however since
there was no category in the pie chart breakdown called "Greedy
Corporate Speculative Excess Profits". I don't see how they could
have missed an obvious item like that in an otherwise well researched
article. :-)

Agent just ate my reply with a typo, and in 13 yeaars, I have never
figured out how. Our Lincoln Navigator has four cams and 32 valves and
only manages to get 14 at 70. The thing some real walnut trim,
steering wheel, little plates containing the window and door lock
switches. Nice looking. So, I sometimes call it:' The Sliverado.'

My Silverado gets 14 mpg - when I'm pulling the travel trailer. But, that's
40% better than my
4Runner got, so I'm not complaining.

My 1999 Expedition sucked fuel. 14,5 mpg was about normal. In 100,000
miles the best I ever got on a long trip was 16.5 mpg, and that was from Los
Angeles to Pleasanton and I do not think I ever got over 65 mph. My 300 HP
327 SS 1964 Impala got better than that, and would do 142 mph.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

My 'vette has 436 HP, does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and has a top speed
of 190 mph. I'm getting 22 mpg around town and nearly 27 on the
highway. Of course, it only weighs 3200 lbs and it's easy to push
through the air. You just can't compare these big, heavy, blunt SUVs
to cars. Apples and oranges.


Gee, my less powerful little sports car gets to 60 as quickly as yours,
and gets better mileage, too. Of course, it also isn't suitable for
pulling a heavy boat trailer, so why bother mentioning it? Oh...you
wanted us to know you had a plastic sports car!

small, nimble British or other marque sports cars, but they are

Assholes, I have a great sportscar, and I have posted photos of the car
and my new boat over in my Google Group. I don't post any info in
rec.boats because you and your kind have destroyed this group.

Ahhh. I sold my Jag XK150S. It wasn't *fast* by today's standards, but
it sure was a lovely car and a lot of fun to drive. I was a big fan of
British sports cars for many years, even though most of them were not so
hot in the QC department. Had an MGA, a Triumph TR-4 IRS (a very solid
car), a Lotus Cortina, among others, in addition to the Jag. The MGA
probably was the prettiest car; the Lotus Cortina was the worst, in
terms of reliability. I bought the MGA well-used, and I got the troubles
with it I expected. And then some.

My current "less powerful than your 'vette sports car" is not British.
But it does get 33+ mpg at reasonable highway speeds, 28-29 mpg at
"higher" highway speeds, and will do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Your
'vette might be a half to a quarter second quicker to 60, but, of
course, that depends somewhat on the skill of the driver. Same is true
on the track, of course. If whoever is driving that 'vette isn't good,
it's going to wallow and slipslide away.

It's not British or Japanese. :) And, like your 'vette, is not suitable
for pulling a heavy boat trailer.

My Silverado gets 14 mpg - when I'm pulling the travel trailer. But, that's
40% better than my
4Runner got, so I'm not complaining.

My 1999 Expedition sucked fuel. 14,5 mpg was about normal. In 100,000
miles the best I ever got on a long trip was 16.5 mpg, and that was from Los
Angeles to Pleasanton and I do not think I ever got over 65 mph. My 300 HP
327 SS 1964 Impala got better than that, and would do 142 mph.- Hide quoted text -

My 'vette has 436 HP, does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and has a top speed
of 190 mph. I'm getting 22 mpg around town and nearly 27 on the
highway. Of course, it only weighs 3200 lbs and it's easy to push
through the air. You just can't compare these big, heavy, blunt SUVs
to cars. Apples and oranges.

Gee, my less powerful little sports car gets to 60 as quickly as yours,
and gets better mileage, too. Of course, it also isn't suitable for
pulling a heavy boat trailer, so why bother mentioning it? Oh...you
wanted us to know you had a plastic sports car!

That's Harry, never miss an opportunity to be a true asshole....

It's pretty funny... notice how he fails to mention exactly what "less
powerful little sports car" he has? That's because if he really has
one, it isn't nearly a 4.3 second car. Not taking anything away from
small, nimble British or other marque sports cars, but they are
typically 6-10 second cars. They are great fun to drive, but even a
base Corvette will eat them alive on a track.

But if he can post a pic of his chubby fingers holding a harry nametag
with that little sports car in the background that has a 0-60 time of
4.5 seconds or less, I know we'd all like to see it!


Ahhh. I sold my Jag XK150S. It wasn't *fast* by today's standards, but
it sure was a lovely car and a lot of fun to drive. I was a big fan of
British sports cars for many years, even though most of them were not so
hot in the QC department. Had an MGA, a Triumph TR-4 IRS (a very solid
car), a Lotus Cortina, among others, in addition to the Jag. The MGA
probably was the prettiest car; the Lotus Cortina was the worst, in
terms of reliability. I bought the MGA well-used, and I got the troubles
with it I expected. And then some.

My current "less powerful than your 'vette sports car" is not British.
But it does get 33+ mpg at reasonable highway speeds, 28-29 mpg at
"higher" highway speeds, and will do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Your
'vette might be a half to a quarter second quicker to 60, but, of
course, that depends somewhat on the skill of the driver. Same is true
on the track, of course. If whoever is driving that 'vette isn't good,
it's going to wallow and slipslide away.

It's not British or Japanese. :) And, like your 'vette, is not suitable
for pulling a heavy boat trailer.

Lies, lies and more lies. Jack has posted a pic of his car, let's
compare....

You mentioned owning a "little" sports car that had less power and got
better mileage with the same acceleration as my Corvette. You also
said it wasn't British or Japanese. That pretty much leaves French,
German, or Italian. The closest thing would be a Z4 or a Boxster/
Cayman. All fine cars, except they all fall short in one area or
another compared to your make-believe sports car. They are either
slower, or if they are nearly as fast, get the same or worse mileage.
I owned a Boxster S, remember? Face it, your supposed sports car
doesn't exist in your garage or likely in the real world.


I see no reason to mention the brand names here of current cars,
motorbikes, boats, et cetera. BTW, I'm pretty sure my motorbike will

That would be your Zimmerman-like bike, right?

Thanks for reminding us all how you've done, and are continuing to do,
your best to trash this NG.

That's Harry, never miss an opportunity to be a true asshole....

It's pretty funny... notice how he fails to mention exactly what "less
powerful little sports car" he has? That's because if he really has
one, it isn't nearly a 4.3 second car. Not taking anything away from
small, nimble British or other marque sports cars, but they are
typically 6-10 second cars. They are great fun to drive, but even a
base Corvette will eat them alive on a track.

But if he can post a pic of his chubby fingers holding a harry nametag
with that little sports car in the background that has a 0-60 time of
4.5 seconds or less, I know we'd all like to see it!

Gosh...took five seconds to find a Brit sports car that accelerates as
quickly as your 'vette:

http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/carpag...persports.html

Too bad you don't have one....

And it's a little slower and and gets about the same mileage as the
'vette. But didn't he write "my less powerful little sports car gets
to 60 as quickly as yours, and gets better mileage"? Now the best he
can do is google up a car he doesn't have that isn't as fast, and gets
about the same mileage. ~snerk~ You'd think he'd point us to the
website with the specs of the car he supposedly *does* have with those
performance parameters. Oops, the website and car would have to
exist.

You commented about "British" sports cars and how most of them were
lacking in performance. I pointed you to one of many that is not lacking.

You mentioned owning a "little" sports car that had less power and got
better mileage with the same acceleration as my Corvette. You also
said it wasn't British or Japanese. That pretty much leaves French,
German, or Italian. The closest thing would be a Z4 or a Boxster/
Cayman. All fine cars, except they all fall short in one area or
another compared to your make-believe sports car. They are either
slower, or if they are nearly as fast, get the same or worse mileage.
I owned a Boxster S, remember? Face it, your supposed sports car
doesn't exist in your garage or likely in the real world.


I see no reason to mention the brand names here of current cars,
motorbikes, boats, et cetera. BTW, I'm pretty sure my motorbike will
out-accelerate your 'vette to 60 mph and some ways beyond.


That would be your Zimmerman-like bike, right?

Thanks for reminding us all how you've done, and are continuing to do,
your best to trash this NG.
cya

Asshole, no it is not a Zimmerman-Like bike. It is a custom bike built
by Orange County Choppers. It was built for a charity auction, and I
decided I had to have it.

My Silverado gets 14 mpg - when I'm pulling the travel trailer. But, that's
40% better than my
4Runner got, so I'm not complaining.

My 1999 Expedition sucked fuel. 14,5 mpg was about normal. In 100,000
miles the best I ever got on a long trip was 16.5 mpg, and that was from Los
Angeles to Pleasanton and I do not think I ever got over 65 mph. My 300 HP
327 SS 1964 Impala got better than that, and would do 142 mph.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

My 'vette has 436 HP, does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and has a top speed
of 190 mph. I'm getting 22 mpg around town and nearly 27 on the
highway. Of course, it only weighs 3200 lbs and it's easy to push
through the air. You just can't compare these big, heavy, blunt SUVs
to cars. Apples and oranges.

Gee, my less powerful little sports car gets to 60 as quickly as yours,

If you had one. You see, you don't realize this because you're stupid,
but in the past, the things that you really DO own, if someone called
you on it, you'd offer up a picture in a heart beat. And when you don't
really have something, no picture. You're too easy to read, so you get

They fall short, eh? Well, you're just not up to speed. At least one of

Hey, I know several people who like 'vettes. I've never been a fan; I've
always found them to be hard-riding, with not that impressive interiors.
But they do give you a big bang for the buck, if you like that sort of

I can't do this, but I've seen tests of the same model I have run the

Some time ago a fellow named Ray Harry Krause was convicted in Florida
of exposing himself to a bus load of school children (true story).

Prosecutors had a difficult time with the case because all of the
witnesses said they really couldn't see anything even though his
raincoat was wide open.

You're really a horse's ass, w'hine. I'm sure I can find someone with a
name similar to yours who is an even lower low-life than you are.

Perhaps you'll run hard aground on a reef in Long Island Sound, punch a
hole in the bottom of that clapped-out old trawler, and have it sink out
from underneath you.

My Silverado gets 14 mpg - when I'm pulling the travel trailer. But,
that's
40% better than my
4Runner got, so I'm not complaining.

My 1999 Expedition sucked fuel. 14,5 mpg was about normal. In 100,000
miles the best I ever got on a long trip was 16.5 mpg, and that was
from Los
Angeles to Pleasanton and I do not think I ever got over 65 mph. My
300 HP
327 SS 1964 Impala got better than that, and would do 142 mph.- Hide

My 'vette has 436 HP, does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and has a top speed
of 190 mph. I'm getting 22 mpg around town and nearly 27 on the
highway. Of course, it only weighs 3200 lbs and it's easy to push
through the air. You just can't compare these big, heavy, blunt SUVs
to cars. Apples and oranges.


Gee, my less powerful little sports car gets to 60 as quickly as
yours, and gets better mileage, too. Of course, it also isn't suitable
for pulling a heavy boat trailer, so why bother mentioning it?
Oh...you wanted us to know you had a plastic sports car!

It's pretty funny... notice how he fails to mention exactly what "less
powerful little sports car" he has? That's because if he really has
one, it isn't nearly a 4.3 second car. Not taking anything away from
small, nimble British or other marque sports cars, but they are
typically 6-10 second cars. They are great fun to drive, but even a
base Corvette will eat them alive on a track.

But if he can post a pic of his chubby fingers holding a harry nametag
with that little sports car in the background that has a 0-60 time of
4.5 seconds or less, I know we'd all like to see it!

You won't. It exists only in his imagination.

Ahhh. I sold my Jag XK150S. It wasn't *fast* by today's standards, but
it sure was a lovely car and a lot of fun to drive. I was a big fan of
British sports cars for many years, even though most of them were not
so hot in the QC department. Had an MGA, a Triumph TR-4 IRS (a very
solid car), a Lotus Cortina, among others, in addition to the Jag. The
MGA probably was the prettiest car; the Lotus Cortina was the worst,
in terms of reliability. I bought the MGA well-used, and I got the
troubles with it I expected. And then some.

My current "less powerful than your 'vette sports car" is not British.
But it does get 33+ mpg at reasonable highway speeds, 28-29 mpg at
"higher" highway speeds, and will do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Your
'vette might be a half to a quarter second quicker to 60, but, of
course, that depends somewhat on the skill of the driver. Same is true
on the track, of course. If whoever is driving that 'vette isn't good,
it's going to wallow and slipslide away.

It's not British or Japanese. :) And, like your 'vette, is not
suitable for pulling a heavy boat trailer.



Bull****.

Reply:
Not really. My 1964 SS Impala was no where as streamlined as a Vette. My
1964 Vette Coupe got about 18 on the highway. was a 375 hp fuelie. Got
about 8 when racing it in SCCA as a B-Prod car. Was very competitive. My
7700# crewcab Duramax gets about 19 on the freeway and about 16 around town.
Not anymore aerodynamic than my 1999 Expedition. My 1968 POS 383 Charger
got about 16.5 on the freeway as well as about 20,000 miles per brake drum.
I just say there should be a hell of a lot better mileage than they are
getting at Ford. my truck has averaged 14.5 mpg for the 116k miles I have
put on it. That includes towing a boat with and without camper installed.
A drive to Alaska with camper, and going over 8-9000' mountains while towing
and not towing. Pretty dang good.

My 'vette has 436 HP, does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and has a top speed
of 190 mph. I'm getting 22 mpg around town and nearly 27 on the
highway. Of course, it only weighs 3200 lbs and it's easy to push
through the air. You just can't compare these big, heavy, blunt SUVs
to cars. Apples and oranges.

Gee, my less powerful little sports car gets to 60 as quickly as yours,
and gets better mileage, too. Of course, it also isn't suitable for
pulling a heavy boat trailer, so why bother mentioning it? Oh...you
wanted us to know you had a plastic sports car!

That's Harry, never miss an opportunity to be a true asshole....

It's pretty funny... notice how he fails to mention exactly what "less
powerful little sports car" he has? That's because if he really has
one, it isn't nearly a 4.3 second car. Not taking anything away from
small, nimble British or other marque sports cars, but they are
typically 6-10 second cars. They are great fun to drive, but even a
base Corvette will eat them alive on a track.

But if he can post a pic of his chubby fingers holding a harry nametag
with that little sports car in the background that has a 0-60 time of
4.5 seconds or less, I know we'd all like to see it!

Gosh...took five seconds to find a Brit sports car that accelerates as
quickly as your 'vette:

Too bad you don't have one....

And it's a little slower and and gets about the same mileage as the
'vette. But didn't he write "my less powerful little sports car gets
to 60 as quickly as yours, and gets better mileage"? Now the best he
can do is google up a car he doesn't have that isn't as fast, and gets
about the same mileage. ~snerk~ You'd think he'd point us to the
website with the specs of the car he supposedly *does* have with those
performance parameters. Oops, the website and car would have to
exist.

You commented about "British" sports cars and how most of them were
lacking in performance. I pointed you to one of many that is not lacking.

You mentioned owning a "little" sports car that had less power and got
better mileage with the same acceleration as my Corvette. You also
said it wasn't British or Japanese. That pretty much leaves French,
German, or Italian. The closest thing would be a Z4 or a Boxster/
Cayman. All fine cars, except they all fall short in one area or
another compared to your make-believe sports car. They are either
slower, or if they are nearly as fast, get the same or worse mileage.
I owned a Boxster S, remember? Face it, your supposed sports car
doesn't exist in your garage or likely in the real world.


They fall short, eh? Well, you're just not up to speed. At least one of
them accelerates just about as quickly as your 'vette, 0-60 at between
4.5 and 4.9 seconds, and with better mileage.

Hey, I know several people who like 'vettes. I've never been a fan; I've
always found them to be hard-riding, with not that impressive interiors.
But they do give you a big bang for the buck, if you like that sort of
thing.

A big, powerful engine, big wide tires, noisy muffler = small penis.

Still looking for a penis that's just right for you, Deplume? How many
have you tried on so far, Deplume?
