Notice how invariably the East Coast boats are more dilapidated, age stained and grungy. Line them up and realize you can pretty well determine the East Coast boats from the West Coast boats by condition alone. Why is this so? A- The best boat architects are on the West Coast. B- Most East Coasters simply don't know how to care for their boats. C- The best built boats are from the West Coast. D- East Coasters must contend with horrible boating conditions. E- All of the above. quite beyond the fact that this is an obvious troll, the simple truth is that east coast designed boats are much tougher, more pleasing lines and dont look like ersatz trawlers or tug boats. id put a davis design, or a zimmerman, or hinckley or just about any other east coast design up against those tubs you pretend are -cruisers- anyday IMO, you are incorrect on two points. The thread is not a troll, and the ersatz East Coast designs of Fexas et al. do not hold a candle the timeless beauty of Monk, Garden, Leishman, and Peterson designs. -- Skipper This from a guy whose last and only alleged boat was a ...Bayliner? It was a highly customized Bayliner. Geez.... Dan |
