Any other questions?



Really? That's a sweet ride, Doug. I saw one at a boat show, and watched
some Pilots being built at the factory in St. Augustine during a recent
trip to Florida. Get yourself a factory visit! If you do, I can
recommend some restaurants in the neighborhood.

One suggestion...make sure you have the bottom epoxy "painted" by a
professional crew (three coats at least) before you take delivery or
have the bottom painted.

Are you going for the "sedan" model?

Not sure yet about the sedan, although it seems like a good idea,
considering that I've already had a couple of pre-cancerous moles removed.
:-)

It is a sweet boat, isn't it? When I first saw it, it reminded me of my
father's first boat, a 32' Luhrs back in 1966 or so. So, I was surprised to
find that the companies were slightly related.




Slightly, eh? More than that. It is a very interesting company. If I
recall, it is employee-owned.

You know what really caught my eye? So many of the 28-32 ft boats I see
around have lines which make them look as if they'd been inflated with air.
All sorts of weird bulges in the cabin & cockpit. Too round. And this is
interesting: I've seen a few that actually have less room than my 14' Lund
for moving around and fishing. That's nuts. Meanwhile, the Mainship is
really clean looking and uncluttered.

I've been an admirer of that boat for many years, in its past and
present iterations. It's a perfect cruiser for a couple or three who
aren't interested in 1000-mile voyages. The lines are sweet indeed. Is a
bow thruster standard? If not, go for one...it really makes pushing
around a single-screw inboard a lot simpler.

Normally I find experienced boaters to be extremely courteous to one
another. Of course there are always the few jagoffs that think they own
all
the waters. They are the ones who rip through the marked no wake zones,
wouldn't lend a helping hand to a fellow boater that was in trouble, you
know the type.

Then there are inexperienced boaters that just don't know any better.

These off topic political posts don't belong in rec.boats. Are they made
by
inexperienced boaters or those that think they own the waters and don't
give a damn about a fellow boater.

I, along with 99.9% of the readers of this group think this bunch should
find some other place to play. There are groups intended for that type of
discussion.

We come to this group to get away from politics, news, and work. We come
here to enjoy our hobby which is boating.

To those that think your political rants and raves and copy and pastes are
enjoyed by the vast majority of us, forget it. This is a boating
newsgroup.

Get the picture? This political trash does not belong here. It is not
wanted. Go play somewhere else.
