Suuuure you do. All you do is sit in that sweaty chair in the basement, aggravating others.

My boat is easily towed anywhere I want...especially now that we have the Highlander.


Its only a Bass Boat, asswipe. Nothing more.

Gawd.....you are ****ing stupid.

So.. that explains a lot!








Now I know why you continually back up Dickson...you consider him a








"stud".








Well, to each his own....I guess. You, him and the L'il Snot from CT








would make quite the 'modern family'.
























Back up Dickson? Have some more kool-ade Donnie.
















Give don a break. It's obvious the boat his mom bought him isn't making








him happy. That's why each and every post here is negative and hate








filled, even his boating reports can't be enjoyed without any of his








psychosis showing....








My, you are an amusing little man.




My mother didn't "buy" me a boat..... and as for being happy with it....




It's great for a family boat and a delight in calmer waters.




There's always compromises to make.




My boat is easily towed anywhere I want...especially now that we have the Highlander.
















Didn't Lil Psychosnotty's "boat" rot to pieces in his backyard and is




not even suitable anymore as a home for squirrels?




That was his quality craftsmanship.


The 'Brockway skiff was his pride and joy, I remember when Capt Tom 'gave' him a 25 hp outboard so he could use it.


Doubt that boat saw anywhere near 10 years service.






Is that the same "25" that ended up on the back of the dink he sold you.



You know better than that.
I got the 'like new' Johnson 25.
Snottie got the other after I bought the Yukon.

We've noticed that you're sometimes absent from the internet for 20 or
30 minutes at a time. Nothing like a really quick spin in the boat
to help keep those fuel costs down.

Is your dock wheel chair accessible so that you can continue imaginary
boating adventures in your upcoming senior moments?


The Chesapeake Bay is loaded with wifi spots all up and down the bay. It would be no trouble for

I've always kept my boats pristine. Boating season for me around here is
sometime in April until maybe Thanksgiving.


Pristine is for sissies and people who want to do nothing but work on
their boat. I have a work boat. I don't have a problem crashing into
the mangroves to rescue a pelican twisted up in monofilament or
picking up big chunks of dock floating in the water so your boat can
stay "pristine".

My "ritual" when I put my boat away is
Hook up the lift cables and turn on the lift
Unload the bigger trash we picked up
Pick up my trash can, the cooler and Ed's water jug.
Gather up anything else we brought down
By then the boat is up and I go in the house.

I chose this kind of boat because I don't have to screw with it
I make sure it floats, the nav/safety equipment works and I take care
of the motor. (better than most people)
Everything else is cosmetic and I am not a cosmetic guy.


Some egotistical people would rather show off a pristine boat than
actually use it. On the lake here, I see people unload big, beautiful
boats off of the trailer, load a ton of crap in it, motor about 50 yards
to the cove next to the resort, anchor and that's it. See and be seen.


Why come down on Harry's ego just because he keeps his boat 'pristine' (if he has a boat, that is).

I'm not sure why Herring is getting into this in his usual snarky way,
since the boat he recently sold was only slightly larger than Don's, and
unless his third-rate dealer screwed him on that, too, that boat of his
had a trim gauge.

The whole point of the original post by Don and follow up discussion
was that his boat did *not* have a trim gauge and he was considering
paying a dealer or someone to install one. He had an empty slot on
his panel and some people suggested a temperature gauge or something
more meaningful than a trim gauge might be more worthwhile.

Exactly, I appreciated the suggestions but now I get harassed because I didn't follow them.
Besides, if I feel the need for a temp gauge or oil pressure whatever, I still have a spot available on my console for another 2" instrument.

FOAD...you address me far too frequently for one who has me 'filtered'.

Yup, my boat came with a trim gauge as part of the digital instrument cluster. I set the trim for
best speed on plane with the throttle stationary. If I were in very shallow water, I actually turned
around and looked at the engine.

Don't know. Ask Donnie. I assumed that's why he bought a trim gauge.

Why wouldn't you just use speed and rpm on a little boat like that?
Can't you hear the engines and stuff?

I am going to go with Don here. It is handy while you are getting used
to your boat.

That might be true if it was a larger boat. He has a jumbo rowboat with
a 60HP on the back. Hardly a CC with a 250.

I'm not sure why Herring is getting into this in his usual snarky way,
since the boat he recently sold was only slightly larger than Don's, and
unless his third-rate dealer screwed him on that, too, that boat of his
had a trim gauge.
--------------------------------
The whole point of the original post by Don and follow up discussion was
that his boat did *not* have a trim gauge and he was considering paying
a dealer or someone to install one. He had an empty slot on his panel
and some people suggested a temperature gauge or something more
meaningful than a trim gauge might be more worthwhile.





To each his own. Don had reasons to have a trim gauge, he got one and it

is filling his stated needs. Suggestions are fine, but most of what he

got consisted of the usual snarky assholes comments.


Exactly, I appreciated the suggestions but now I get harassed because I didn't follow them.
Besides, if I feel the need for a temp gauge or oil pressure whatever, I still have a spot available on my console for another 2" instrument.

Either would be more useful and more accurate.

ever, it was late fall and couldn't tell it was poison oak and burned it
