In the interest of providing the rec.boats political debate society with a short, boating related interlude, I am tossing in one of my more recent boat review items. :-) Be warned. 1. It's very long. Send out for coffee after the first 1700 words. 2. Some favorable comments about many aspects of the product are included. Those who become emotionally distraught when reading anything not bitterly hostile to the marine industry are invited to either skip this thread or flame me privately at . Won't accept responsibility anybody becoming po'd and acting badly after ignoring this advance disclosure. 3. Alternate, issue-oriented, informed opinions offered without personal insult are eagerly solicited in this venue for the purpose of promoting discussion. Thank you. ******** A Boat for All Seasons snip Thanks for the review, Chuck! Here's some hopefully-#3 comments rather than #2... First, OK, it's a "favourable" review. But surely SOMETHING was wrong with the boat? Of course, I'd say 30 gph is in the "yikes!" category: it takes me a month to burn that much. What about access forward in those "questionable" conditions (often a problem with express cruisers)? Anything else you DIDN'T like? In fact, Impressing the Babes is about the only way I could justify burning 30gph to go 25mph. Let's see...Vancouver to Desolation Sound: about 100 miles. That's 4 hrs each way, but 120 gals! And waterproof instruments in an open cockpit? what a concept!  Also, loved your description of the brochures: too true! We have a Standing Joke in Engineering that in order to be an Engineer, you need a white shirt and tie (no jacket), a hardhat, a clipboard, and you must be pointing at something. This is how we're portrayed in ALL brochures... Lloyd Sumpter "Far Cove" Catalina 36 |
