Interesting new boat
I got aboard a new 35' steel trawler today.
The boat is being imported by a dealer in Olympia, WA. Very interesting. Lot's of extremely "salty" touches. For example, many of the stowage areas for items like binoculars, spare radios, etc are recessed wells rather than open shelves. All exterior windows are set up to have Lexan storm covers bolted on. Apparently the guy who owns the company that builds the boat has seveal thousand miles of bluewater sailing to his credit. This is a full displacement, round chine boat. Has a soft set dockside, despite an impressive displacement. I suspect it will ride out about like a Lord Nelson tug. Could possibly be a fairly decent sea boat. Seems like a decent value. Single John Deere diesel, bow thruster, adequate electronics package, etc, all for under $200k. I'll be writing an article about this boat in late summer. Should be fun. http://www2.yachtworld.com/capitalci...yyachts_2.html |

You are a disgrace on that ground alone, the rest?? your lies OT threads, the stalking etc etc well that's just how you are, a lowlife grub. K Here's another about his father it's particularly sad, showing how Harry can't live with his heritage so he lies; another lie to sooth his endless union thug jealousy of those who have done something with their lives; ".....during WW II, my father was kept out of the military because the Army wanted him to remain at the head of his small, experimental machine shop." Please note how unpatriotic cowards even make the same old well worn excuses in their lies???? & then ".......he turned out experimental brass shell casings for the Army and hopped up outboards for the Navy, which wanted to use them on smaller landing craft. I had photos at one time of my father with Ole Evinrude himself. My mother knew one of Evinrude's wives...she was a minor movie star or singer...I forgot which. Maybe both." Totally sad reflection of how Harry views the real life of his probably hard working father. Imagine having a union thug liar son like Harry?? poor bugger. What happened, Smith: did you get a day pass from the locked ward? |

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

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. K 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 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. Dan Wayne.B wrote: On Thu, 13 May 2004 01:17:56 GMT, Dan Krueger wrote: I can translate that for you.

Interesting new boat
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. |
