Some pics from our boating trip today
My wife and I took a shoreline cruise along the south shore of Lake Erie and
took some pics of some impressive homes from Bay Village to Lorain mostly Avon Lake (my home town). http://www.snapfish.com/thumbnailsha...34/t_=32995518 http://www.snapfish.com/thumbnailsha...74/t_=32995518 The name of the game along the shoreline is to tear down and build larger. The house my wife lived in (her father built it) was torn down many years ago and a mansion was built on the lot. Included in the pics of these lake front houses are pics of our modest 20 foot boat while we anchored off the Bay Village beach to cool off in the water (registration numbers whited out), an old scow waiting to pull a dredging barge (186) we passed along the way , the Lorain lighthouse, (217) and the Bay Village beach (217) where we stopped to go swimming. Great day!!! 85F, sunny. The boat ran great. Lake temp 70F, still warm enough for a bit of swimming. ;-) |

Boating pic tip #2: Did you happen to miss this opening sentence in my original post to this thread? "My wife and I took a shoreline cruise along the south shore of Lake Erie and took some pics of some impressive homes from Bay Village to Lorain mostly Avon Lake (my home town)." Boating pics? Yep. ;-) But no pics of fish...just pics we took when cruising the shoreline and having a wonderful time with my wife. I guess the owners of those houses wont be concerning themselves with raising gas prices? ;) I would think they should be especially concerned. ;-) My wife's dad built a house (by himself with some work subbed out) on the Lake in the 1960's. The lot was 150' x 300', lakeshore. He died before I met my wife and her mother eventually sold it for less than $150K in the 1980's. The house was eventually torn down and a 4,000+ square foot house built in it's place A rich mans game at times........other time not........*timing* sometimes has everything to do with it. ;-) BTW: One of our NG members here (not one of Krause's friends, but does he have any?) has a house on the lakeshore in my hometown of Avon Lake. I don't know if I caught *his* house. |

I would guess the lot alone today would sell for over $600k. :-0 The houses I showed pics of cost over $1.5 mm, most in the $2-$4 mm range. Put them along the ocean in Florida, the Carolinas or California and you can multiply the cost by 2.5x-8x. |

JimH,
It looks like Harry is upset because you are spending more time on your boat in one week, than Harry has all season. The homes were nice, the lighting may not have been perfect, but really bothered Harry is you made an on topic posts. You are cluttering up his NG with the on topic crap, now stop it. ; ) "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... *JimH* wrote: "PocoLoco" wrote in message ...

For all I know I may have caught a picture of his house. I can guarantee you that I have put more hours on my boat since August 26th (our first time taking the boat out after the purchase on August 25th) than several of the "Obsessed with JimH" club members here. I love the fact that one member in particular had nothing nice to say about the photo's or the houses in them. I chalk it up to nothing more than pure jealousy. I see you had a great day on the water today also. Good for you! |

All I have to say is I know understand why Harry boats as many hours as he
does, that is one sweet boat. Wait, Harry doesn't boat more than 2 days a year and that is on YOHO, that is a bummer, no one should own a boat like this and never boat. I have to be honest, this is head and shoulders over anything I even thought of buying. I am really jealous of Harry and his young Dr. Dr. wife. "PocoLoco" wrote in message ...

Beautiful. Zimmerman is one of the premier "finishers" of made-in-Maine lobster yacht hulls. The boats are beautiful but all that "posh" on the interior is heavy. Zimmerman's bulkhead-hull "joints" are uusual, in that the bulkheads sort of float against the hull, or at least that was the technique used when I toured the "factory" some years ago. There's a company in Bristol, RI who makes one-off hull molds for various manufacturers. A few years ago, they made a 45' sailboat that had that same technique - it's an interesting concept. The boat's still floating so I guess it's a good way to do it. The hulls are quite stout. The wood bulkheads fit into slots glassed to the inside of the hull, and there is "padding" between the edge of the bulkhead and the hull. It prevents "print-through" of the wood bulkheads against the glass hull. This isn't a problem with more traditional fiberglass manufactured boats, which use glass bulkheads glassed to the hull. The technique is pretty common on the Chesapeake, where there are dozens of very small builders turning out some pretty nice boats. As a point of comparison, the Zimmerman 36 is 4000 to 7000 pounds heavier than boats with near identical hulls and caps not finished out as "posh," and that takes into account that Zimmerman doesn't install a honker-sized diesel in its hulls. But...they are gorgeous boats. -- - - - George W. Bush, our hero!

Harry,
When this conversation took place, and John thanked you for offering him the ride on YoHo, he told you he would love to go for a ride in your Lobster Boat. "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...
