I'd like to see it with a small center console and helm seat
but then
it wouldn't be a work boat. It's too pretty for hauling crab
pots or
oyster tonging in any case.


It's nice but I would rather have this:

My $45,000 bid didn't do it and I would have been surprised if
it did!


I remember the Sunday mornings we'd be awakened by the noise of a
pair
of airboats driven by assholes tearing up the marshlands along the
ICW...and I mean "tearing up." I'm sure you would have been among
them,
given the opportunity. Their persona non grata status was made
official
somehow as a result of excessive noise. I was hopeful their
running over
an oyster bed might perforate the bottoms of their boats but,
alas, as
far as I know, it didn't happen.

Why do you find it necessary to be so assholish? Do you think
that's endearing to someone?

You write a paragraph like the above, assholish, and then add a
paragraph like below. I suppose the
paragraph below is to show that you're 'one of the guys'. But,
when I read it I see 'bull****'
written all over the last few sentences.

This company:

http://stur-deeboat.com/amesbury-dory/

makes very nice dory style small boats that can be equipped with
seats
and a console. My dad bought and sold dozens and dozens of these
boats
when they were made of wood. We knew the original owner, who died
a few
years ago. I crossed LI Sound in one of these boats with a 15 hp
Evinrude on the stern. I think I was about 10 or 11, something like
that. Straight over to Port Jeff.

Bullahit.Sounds like another Cape Horn story. Did you get a
fireboat welcome at Port Jeff?


It's not my fault you spent your childhood shooting tree rats so you
could have dinner at night.

As for Port Jeff, it was about 12 miles max from our beach
cottage. In
that range, maybe a bit less. You could see where to go because there
were large smokestacks just east of the harbor, and if you steered
just
a hair west of them, you'd end up in Port Jefferson. The harbor
entrance
was really small, so once you got over to long island, you'd have to
search a bit.

But, of course, you didn't do much boating as a kid.

And I don't have to make up kid stories in the hopes of getting
attention.


Port Jeff from Milford was an easy trip on a decent day, not much
farther than the western side of the eastern shore from Solomons. Of
course, you wouldn't know that...you had to hunt squirrels for dinner.

Should of gone around LI to meet this guy, He crossed the Atlantic
ocean with a outboard powered boat, Setting a world record.

That story is strangely familiar. :-)



Different decades, different kinds of outboard boats.


But both knew ol' Ole. :-)

Something wrong with hunting squirrels for dinner? Apparently, with your having brought it up twice
in a few hours, something about the idea bothers you.

And, we ate a lot more rabbit than squirrel.

So a 26' boat with twin outboards holds the record.

Seems as if having to work for his dinner as a kid helped. He did not have
a silver spoon childhood as you claim. And to my knowledge has not
declared bankruptcy. My parents grew up in the depression. If you wanted
something other than a house you saved and paid cash.

it wouldn't be a work boat. It's too pretty for hauling crab pots or
oyster tonging in any case.


It's nice but I would rather have this:

My $45,000 bid didn't do it and I would have been surprised if it did!


I remember the Sunday mornings we'd be awakened by the noise of a pair
of airboats driven by assholes tearing up the marshlands along the
ICW...and I mean "tearing up." I'm sure you would have been among them,
given the opportunity. Their persona non grata status was made official
somehow as a result of excessive noise. I was hopeful their running over
an oyster bed might perforate the bottoms of their boats but, alas, as
far as I know, it didn't happen.

Why do you find it necessary to be so assholish? Do you think
that's endearing to someone?

You write a paragraph like the above, assholish, and then add a
paragraph like below. I suppose the
paragraph below is to show that you're 'one of the guys'. But,
when I read it I see 'bull****'
written all over the last few sentences.

This company:

http://stur-deeboat.com/amesbury-dory/

makes very nice dory style small boats that can be equipped with seats
and a console. My dad bought and sold dozens and dozens of these boats
when they were made of wood. We knew the original owner, who died a few
years ago. I crossed LI Sound in one of these boats with a 15 hp
Evinrude on the stern. I think I was about 10 or 11, something like
that. Straight over to Port Jeff.

Bullahit.Sounds like another Cape Horn story. Did you get a
fireboat welcome at Port Jeff?


It's not my fault you spent your childhood shooting tree rats so you
could have dinner at night.

As for Port Jeff, it was about 12 miles max from our beach cottage. In
that range, maybe a bit less. You could see where to go because there
were large smokestacks just east of the harbor, and if you steered just
a hair west of them, you'd end up in Port Jefferson. The harbor entrance
was really small, so once you got over to long island, you'd have to
search a bit.

But, of course, you didn't do much boating as a kid.

And I don't have to make up kid stories in the hopes of getting attention.


Port Jeff from Milford was an easy trip on a decent day, not much
farther than the western side of the eastern shore from Solomons. Of
course, you wouldn't know that...you had to hunt squirrels for dinner.

Should of gone around LI to meet this guy, He crossed the Atlantic
ocean with a outboard powered boat, Setting a world record.

http://www.soundingsonline.com/compo.../295445/295445



That story is strangely familiar. :-)

"In all, the trans-Atlantic portion of the trip took 33 days. The
Grovers headed home and were entered into Guinness World Records for the
smallest outboard motorboat crossing of the Atlantic. There were
speaking engagements, celebrations and, no doubt, a lot of recovering."

So a 26' boat with twin outboards holds the record.

===

I remember reading an article a few years ago about a 20 something
outboard flats boat making an Atlantic crossing. I think they had a
support vessel however for fuel and other provisions.

I used to sail with a guy on Long Island Sound who claimed that his
uncle had escaped from the Germans in WW2 by sailing a decked over
Lightning sailboat from Norway to the US. A Lightning is a 19 ft
centerboard boat which is not normally sailed offshore for any great
distance.

Very possible. Asian kid sailed a small boat across the Pacific about 50
years ago. Is at the SF Maritime museum last time I went. I think it was
around 20'.



19'.

I'd like to see it with a small center console and helm seat but then
it wouldn't be a work boat. It's too pretty for hauling crab pots or
oyster tonging in any case.

Damn, 550hp ought to move it right along!


They are heavy, flat-bottomed, boats and not as efficient as you might
think. That's a 45mph boat at best.

Airboats have thick polymer on the hulls to protect them from branches
and other debris. Some people run theirs on dry ground. When the
polymer is worn, it's replaced.

I am old and it has been a while but the guys in Everglades City were
running regular aluminum hulls in the 80s-90s with big V-8s and a
prop.
45 is still a fast boat tho. You don't really want to be going that
fast if you are actually in the swamp running around tho. This isn't
about speed, it is about getting anywhere you want to go. Some of the
hard core guys had nitrous systems to get off that hump they were
stuck on.
