Proof the whole lot of goofballs will talk about anything.

You have to read it this way:

"If I had a boat, I would buy a __________."

... bunch of gas and run the boat several times a week?.




In the summers when I was a kid, there was a two mile stretch of rocky
shoreline near where we stayed and where stripers were known to hang
out. There was enough water to safely float the typical 14' flatbottom
rowboat, but you had to row because your lower unit would strike the
underwater rocks. So we tipped up the motor, and used corks to keep the
sandworms we were dragging up near the surface. Typically, you went out
with one other guy, and each of you rowed one half the distance of the
stretch. A 3 hp Evinrude was the motor of choice to get there and back.
Usually the boat was a mess of worm blood and fish guts by the time we
got back, so we'd detach the motor and run it in a barrel of fresh
water, empty out the boat and then tip it over and flush it out with
sal****er.

Simpler days and, I think, a lot more fun.


But then you make fun of people here with similar boats and interests.


No one here I am aware of boats in a 14 foot rowboat with a 3 horse
outboard and fishes for stripers.


Um, I do.... Try a 12 foot boat with a 3 horse.... and I love stripers.
