Spruiking?


Yep spruiking all your so called reviews are not much better than
paid advertising & given your priors about anything from the ROC I'll
enjoy the NG review of your article very much.


Why don't you take your "spruik", get a jar of K-Y, and shove it right
you your as far as it will go.




As for the boat?? as I said very nice however like all steel boats
bought 'finished" you never know what lurks inside

That's probably what your last date said...and penicillin has lost much
of its effectiveness.

As for the boat?? as I said very nice however like all steel boats
bought 'finished" you never know what lurks inside & even below the
paint. Certainly there will be the endless claims about the hull prep
etc which you will of course take hook line & sinker them propagate as
fact in your article but ....... very risky buying a steel boat new or
secondhand unless you factor into the pricing a complete reblast &
paint, sad but true no matter where it's built.

They're great for the owner builder because they "can" know exactly
what's under the facade.

Also as mentioned displacement speed boats travel @ knots not mph, I
know when you are marketing as you always are it's a lower number but
hey don't blame me, it's controlled by the diam of the earth & even you
can't blame me for that!!!

Here's a harry lie still on the good ol' Dad theme for ya Chucky;

"My father and his chief mechanic once crossed the Atlantic in winter in
a 22'boat powered by twin outboards. Yes, it is possible, even the fuel.
Got a "fireboat" welcome in NYC."

I suppose a man of your intellect is wondering just where a simpleton
like Harry got this lie from??? here (ever helpful I am:-)) is one of
the articles he cherry picked the basics from.


James R. Wynne, 1929-1990 - A Closer Look
One of those fortunate people whose work and passion seem perfectly
matched, Jim Wynne began racing powerboats as a hobby during his school
years. He made the union between hobby and career official when he
obtained a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of
Florida, a Master’s from MIT and took his first job as chief test
engineer for Kiekhaefer Corp. Jim supervised testing of Mercury outboard
motors in Wisconsin and Florida until 1958, when he crewed on the first
transatlantic crossing by an outboard-powered boat, traveling from
Copenhagen to New York in a 22-foot boat.


Damn those firetugs must have been busy greeting them back then!!!
those endless 22 ftrs from Copenhagen must have looked like an
invasion:-) OOps now I get it Jim was "Harry's" Dad's engineer!!! of
course that explains the similarities, that or a whale falling out of
space:-)

More confirmation of Harry's denigration of his late Dad's life. His
father lies are his worst lies as far as I'm concerned, the others & his
stalking behaviour just confirm Harry himself as a failure; but to drag
his late Dad in.... well that's really low.

I said it was interesting. It's a new boat, at least to this end of the
country. Many people might not be aware of it.

I also said the boat was imported, so what's the Aussie dung about "deceptive"?

Mentioning this boat is on topic. No apologies from me.

Interesting new boat
 

It is a beautiful boat. Has the lines that I like. I'll be looking forward to
your review this summer. Please send me an email when you're ready to put it
out
so I don't miss it. Thanks!

If you come up this way to visit your brother in the next couple of months,
give me a little warning and chance to arrange a couple of things and you might
be able to ride along. Looking at a Sept or October time frame for the article,
but we can take the boat out anytime prior.

By the way, I *own* a Chinese boat.

Why the unprovoked insultathon, Karen?
Put your evil twin back in the bottle.

Valiant attempt to switch the topic from boats to your particular area of
expertise, however. :-)

Hey, he single handedly sold $3 million in goods, at full retail, in 2
days
when his Dad decided to part with the business. According to Harry he
almost put the East Coast marine retailers out of business because of his
cunning salesmanship skills.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The man feels his life is so incomplete and sad, that he is forced to
live
his life vicariously through his vivid imagination.

His wife and dad would be very ashamed if they knew that he had to make
up
stories concerning their lives.

Cool, a Beuhler design in production. It's a good looking boat

*steel* for heaven's sake?

Fair Skies- Doug King


Puts lots of people to work.


Hey hey hey in China it does:-)





Yes, well, putting people to work is what the PRC wants. So if it
is
building pleasure boats out of steel, it is because it has
skilled
and
semi-skilled metal fabricators who need work.


Still telling lies I see Harry, Oh well at least these days
everyone "knows" you're just a liar, even those who are syill
stupid
enough to be your groupies.

Here's your lie of the day:-)

When referring to how he sold off his Dad's imaginary,
absolutely
no trace of, OMC dealership



Tell me, crack-brain, where would *you* find traces of a boat
dealership
in Connecticut that closed about 30 years ago? You wouldn't know
how.
If
you did, you would have come up with verification. It's easy
enough
to
do; I could do it with one telephone call to a boat dealership in
the
area now owned by the son of a close friend of my father's. The
close
friend, probably also gone, started the boat business right after
WW
II,
about the time my father opened up a dealership at his first
location,
on Water Street, near the train station in New Haven.


More lies!! The sad thing is you're so obvious.


What you are saying here is that you haven't the intellectual
ability
to
prove me wrong. Here's another hint: the founder of the dealership I
mentioned here is still alive, or at least was when his company's
web
page was completed. The business is run by a third-generation family
member of his, apparently a grandson. I never knew until I read that
web
page today how the founder and my father met...but now I know...it
was
in the late 1940s. They shared a hobby and the venue to test their
mettle with that hobby.



With over 1,000 marine dealers in the US this story is hardly
verifiable....but that is what you were counting on Krause, wasn't it?
LMAO!!

I love watching these righties build up their recollections. The last
thing I would ever do is live aboard a boat.

I can multiply and divide by 1.15 as well as anyone. My issue is

I thought you knew the difference but how can it be misleading? KPH are always
less than MPH so how could anyone advertise kmh to inflate the truth? If I'm
selling a boat, I would say "WOT 34 MPH". "30 knots per hour" would/could make
someone think the boat is slower if they didn't know.

Faster boats are frequently logged in MPH. A fair number of mfgrs sell boats
with speedometers that read in MPH.
That's only "deceptive" if the boat doesn't actually travel that fast.
Raymarine and other major electronics mfgrs build some pretty sophisticated and
expensive DGPS equipment that is strictly for marine use, and they build in an
option for the owner to
show speeds in either MPH or knots. Somebody needs to get 'hold of Raymarine
and insist they knock off selling that "deceptive" DGPS equipment that can be
set to show speeds in MPH.

On the other hand, trawlers are almost always described as turning speeds
measured in knots.

Deception would be recording a speed in MPH and then representing that it was
knots. A speed measured in MPH and clearly labeled as such may not suit the
personal preferences of some, but is hardly "deceptive" unless the reader or
listener doesn't understand the difference between one standard and the other.

I'm going to an Armadillo barbecue hosted by Billy Schumacher this Saturday.
(There will be a couple of classic hydros, including Miss Bud, on hand).
Billy's traveled one heck of a lot faster on (or slightly over) the water than
99.9999% of us ever will. I'll ask him whether unlimited hydros measure speed
in knots or MPH.
I know that both terms are fairly interchangeable when discussing aircraft, it
will be fun to see what the protocol is for hydros.
