I think you're mistaking me for Johnny.

Sailing is my game but I boat with an infernal combustion engine to please the wife.

Now that I have a suitable tow vehicle, my next boat will be a bit more appropriate for the North Atlantic.





Flatulent Jim is boatless.

As are you, ****.

What? You're planning on towing a bigger boat behind thhhhhhhat car????

What has tour boating experience cost you so far? I suspect around

$2000.00 per hour


Don't ask the resident idiot( donnie) something that tough. Ask him about brooms, and mops....something he knows about.

That is why I like my stainless prop. It doesn't nick up like



aluminum.



I have a work boat style prop, (thicker blades, 304 SS) not the thin



blade 316 SS performance prop.



Oysters, gravel, logs and sand don't hurt it.



Fortunately big rocks are not much of a problem here.



The old boat had an aluminum prop. I hit a rock in a shallow part of the lake, and it took a sizable chunk out of it. Had to putt back to the slip, but fixing it was pretty cheap.



The "new" boat has a SS prop. I was putting the boat back on the trailer at an unfamiliar ramp on the Cooper River, and when powering up to get it that last foot I sucked up some gravel. Sounded like the world was coming apart back there. No hunks gone, just a bit ragged looking. Fixing that wasn't so inexpensive.





Especially if gears and shafts were involved. Sometimes aluminum is better.

Context? Like Harry said. Won't you be a good boy and try a little harder?



He cant. Harry has him trained to kneel, and open his mouth at the snap of the fingers.

Your Highlander can't tow a boat appropriate for the North Atlantic,

Don. Join a boat club - if they have any.

Duh Ditzy,
here's an example of boats I could tow that would be suitable for my local waters...if not the open Atlantic.
BTW the oldest yacht club in North America is here in my home town. Sailed out of it for a number of years. The whole idea of a trailered boat is to enjoy various bodies of water and of course to avoid expensive club fees.

I like the 19' Walk through but my brother-in-law has the 19' Cuddy Cabin.

You are a glutton for punishment, Don. I have no idea why you exchange
communications with the right-wing trashboys.

It does look nice, and the high freeboard at the bow is a step in the
right direction. If I were boating where Don is however, I'd want
something a tad bigger with a sharp entry forward and deep-Vee hull,
maybe something like a Grady-White 24. G-Ws are designed to handle
rough conditions and have good reputations.

There is also a Canadian boat called a Campion that has a good
reputation:

Yes, based on an inshore commercial fishing boat.
I'll look at it carefully during February's boat show.
