Nothing like a mellow Cuban cheroot while fishing or out on the back
porch on a beautiful star filled evening. A couple three a week leaves me feeling very mellow. Now, as to sailing the Halman up, I don't know about that, but every time I've been to Canada, I've had a hard time finding them - apparently Canadians don't smoke cheroot style cigars. So I have an alternate source. :) Your country is safe - I can't see invasion. In Canada, there are lots of places to get some genuine Cuban "Cheroots". It's just that cigar people here don't call them that. Here you can purchase the brand name "Guantanamera" and ask for the model "Decimos". You will not be disappointed. It is a lighter based blend of leaf from the region of Vuelta Arriba in Cuba. Not too expensive either! You could also try the Cohiba short ones and just clip the end to turn it into a "Cheroot" type cigar. These are very expensive. This is the brand that Fidel smoked. Jim |

We need some rain, badly. It looks as though the storm will pass to the west of DC, but maybe we'll pick up a little rain. The fishing has not been all that great on the bay this summer. There seem to be a lot of small (18") stripers, but they're illegal. I haven't been out fishing since taking the Belarusian kids out in mid-July. One of the big problems is my newfound interest in golf. I played some in the early 70"s, no lessons or anything, and haven't played since.

I see that Scout boats don't use wood for construction but rather some composite material that does not rot. Are there other manufacturers that do the same thing? In doing my research, it seems that rotten wood is the main problem with used boats in which repair costs can soar. For this reason, I'm thinking a small center console scout will suit my needs best. Has Scout always used this composite material or do some of the older boats have wood also? add cape horn and sea strike boats to the list, imo. bb Two of the best sal****er lines made, Grady and Parker, use XL ply for stringers and in the transom. Wood is a wonderful material for boats if the right kind is used properly. Grady only started using XL ply in 1998. That's why you hear so much about rotting transoms, floors, and bulkheads in older Grady's. I'm surprised at that. It's got to be a more expensive alternative to just making composite stringers. I am no expert - But I have been looking into replacing our 21 ft cuddy with a bowrider since our usage has changed. ie we now have a little place on a lake we like and no longer need the cuddy. That being said the all-glass vs wood construction topic has my attention. Our current boat (a 1995 Crownline 210ccr) has glass encapsolated wood stringers. Wood in the transom, and plywood with resin w/carpet over the floor in the cockpit. There are not any soft spots or signs of rot and delamination. It has been stored for most of it's life on the trailer with not in use and covered with either a mooring cover or sometimes a just cockpit cover. Thus I agree that is done correctly, I do not think wood is inherently evil. But if done incorrectly I am sure it can be a nightmare. One also has to consider how well you take care of the boat - just like anything else. From some of the web pages I have visited ebbtide has a interesting statment in defense of using wood in the construction of boat.. This is from there site: - http://www.ebbtideboats.com/lasting.asp The myth about wood-free boats If you’re reading this page, you are seriously searching for the best built boat. In that search you’ve heard about wood-free boats. There are man-made materials out there that some manufacturers use in place of solid wood stringers and they are touted as rot-free. What is not generally discussed is the effect non-wood stringers have on the ride and long term durability of the boat. Our Dura-Core system gives you the perfect combination of a solid, stable, and quiet ride. If there were a better substance for the stringer system than wood, we’d use it. Unlike man-made materials, wood stringers have the flexible memory to absorb shock and vibration, they do not transfer sound, they’re heavier and provide a more solid ride, and they take rough seas better. Another strength of the solid Perma-Panel treated wood stringer is that the bond of the fiberglass material penetrates wood deeper than the surface-only bond of the man-made material. Our competitors mention rot as a problem. If you look closely at our manufacturing techniques, you’ll see that our stringers are completely encapsulated with resin and glass, then each grid is filled with closed-cell flotation foam, creating a completely unitized hull structure. We’re so confident in our Dura-Core hulls, we provide a limited lifetime transom and stringer warranty and a ten-year hull warranty. Just remember, we’ve been building boats for 40 years the methodical handcrafted way... not the faster, less costly way. end from Ebbtids site I know this is advertising from their site, but they do make some good points. I reaize we are looking to very different types os boats. I just thought I would toss this out for some consideration. Capt Jack R.. If a boat is properly engineered and manufactured, and if the encapsulation is not breached, the wood should have a very long life. Non-encapsulated wood never seemed much of a problem when I was a kid in the 1950s, when most small boats were wood or wood covered in fiberglass. There were plenty of old wood boats about, and they took a lot of abuse. I agree - That is why I reconsidered insisting on a boat that had no wood in the construction this time around. The wood in my present shows no signs of rot. And has served me well. :-) I guess the bottom line is that any manyfacture can make a poor or good product out of just about anything. Cheers Capt Jack R.. |

The last one I owned was this model: http://www.seaproboats.com/models/sv1900cc.html What differentiates a bay boat from a center console? |

This makes them a bit less suitable for more open waters, but more suitable for skinny waters. I believe they are also a little flatter on the bottom, so they draw less water. The interior layouts are also very different. Look at the website more closely and you will sss the differences. Where do you plan to fish? Lake Murray South Carolina. I know next to nothing about fishing, but think it's something I'd enjoy if I had a boat. My objectives for a boat in order of importance a 1) Joy riding/swimming 2) Tubing/some skiing 3) Fishing If I really get into fishing, obviously my priorities might change. I was planning on getting a bowrider, but was advised that they are somewhat limited: not much room to maneuver around inside the boat and not good for fishing. That's why I was thinking a center console would be best as they sound versatile. Would you agree? |
How does SeaPro compare to the Scout? Don't have any experience with Scout but I bought a SeaPro this spring ( http://www.seaproboats.com/models/sv2100cc.html ) and I absolutely love it. I bought it with trim tabs, hydraulic jack plate and a 200 Yamaha - I can get it up in 1 1/2 feet of water, it will run in the upper 50's when needed, will handle reasonable offshore seas and with the optional rear seat and bow cushions makes a pretty good makeshift runabout (which was my wifes' primary concern). I've owned pontoon boats, bass boats, runabouts and center consoles and I don't think that I have ever been as overall satisfied with any of them as I am with this one - maybe it's because I bought it as a compromise and it suits those compromised needs. (OK SeaPro - you can send me my check now) :-) |
