Or this one?

Both are beautiful boats but one is luxurious and the other utilitarian.

I think we have a member here who claims to own both boats yet has never
offered to take anyone out on the 36 footer or post a picture of it other
than ones lifted off the internet. We have seen pictures of the 25 footer
though...I think he named it Ho-Ho or I-Want-A-Ho.

To be perfectly fair this individual did offer to take JohnH out on one his
boats, but decided on the 25 footer for some strange reason.

Now we have seen pictures of the 25 footer, but none of the custom made 36
footer. That is what is difficult to understand. If it were me I would
have posted pictures of both but highlighted the custom made 36 foot lobster
boat. It only makes sense seeing this person is also known to brag about his
worldly possessions.

Maybe this person will be gracious enough to post some pictures of that
beautiful custom made 36 footer. After all, it must be beautiful and
something one would want to the NG members to see.

How about it?

Given the additional room on the 36'er, I might have gone out on that!

The Parker, to my eye, is a slightly better looking boat.

While form is junior to function, the cabin top on the Zimmerman is too
long and flat. It's hard to tell from the stern quarter view, but if
there's much vertical curve at all in that sheer line the boat boat
will appear to have been designed by a group of separate committees.

The Parker superstructre is slightly chunky forward, but not
objectionably so. The stubby house and foredeck permit a far more
fishable cockpit in this vessel with a modest LOA.

How wonderful to see you post a boating topic, rather than a personal
attack on another NG poster. I hereby withdraw one of the negative
thoughts I may have had about you.

Actually I have refrain from any personal attacks (unlike you) recently and
have posted several boating threads recently.

As far as the boats Krause claims to own I prefer neither for boating on
Lake Erie. One is too utilitarian.....the other too ornate......both are
unfriendly for my needs.

We have always enjoyed a variety of activities on our boats in the Great
Lakes, including fishing, water sports, cruising and entertaining. We also
loved the experience of having our children grow up on the boats (literally)
and spending weekends and vacations on the boats with them.

As our kids have outgrown that stage, and as my wife is no longer able to
serve as First Mate due to her physical illness, we will most likely
purchase an express cruiser in the 25 to 27 foot range (one I can handle by
myself) down the road when we purchase our waterfront property. Until then
we will still enjoy the Lake (we live only blocks from it) with our friends
who invite us out on their boats.

That being said, and getting back to the original discussion, I would love
to see pictures of Harry's custom made 36 foot lobster boat. especially
since he has already posted pictures of and bragged about his 25 foot
rather bland fishing boat.

What say you Harry?

posted several boating threads recently. I have changed my ways. Can you
do the same?

I guess the comments about personal attacks and negative thoughts were meant
as compliments, eh Chuck?

Whoosh is right.
