I fail to see how that was a derogatory comment- and beyond the fact that he was once shopping for a boat like that (something he has freely attested to here) there wasn't even a single personal statement. I do wish he'd elaborate on his feelings that this boat wouldn't be adequate for coastal cruising from AK to MEX, with occasional (possible) diversions to HI. Aside from marginal range (easily corected), I fail to see why this wouldn't be a darn good boat for the purpose. |

Hatred is hatred Harry and yours is of the type that is particularly nasty towards those that disagree with you politics. |

Chuck's Boat Recommendation

http://tinyurl.com/dkjym So, for someone looking to cruise from the Gulf of Alaska to the Cortez and avoid the return bash by diverting to Hawaii you'd recommend that boat? Fascinating! Do you believe intended usage plays at all in boat selection? Absolutely. What do you figure from Mexico to HI, 2500 miles? Maybe a bit less? (Depends where you set out from, of course) Right now, with 1000 gallons, she's supposed to have an 1800 mile range. Add a pair of 250 gallon fuel tanks and a watermaker you're set. 70,000 lb displacement, deep draft, full displacement hull? This is what a true seagoing boat looks like. To your eye maybe, but not mine. AND I suppose it does depend on what your definition of is is. While the boat is pleasing to the eye, it is not the best choice for the stated usage. It's a boat better suited for inward passage cruising, IMO. Suspect you may have fallen victim to a bit of stableblindness here, Chuck. I'll mention just a few of the obvious problems with your choice of the best boat for the stated usage: 1- Fuel costs for this vessel is about $200+ per day. That can add up rather quickly on a voyage from Tracy Arm to Mazatlan. Sail might be the more prudent choice. 2- I believe roll could well be a problem offshore with that boat's unstablized rounded bottom. 3- Only having one (1) head on long voyages is more of risk than I'd like to assume. 4- The boat is well short of the amenities needed for such a voyage. Ground tackle also seems substandard for the intended usage. That $225,000 asking would only be the starting point to equip this boat for offshore passagemaking. There are other shortcomings that would disqualify this boat for subject passagemaking, but let me note it DOES have some very good things going for it as a Northwaste boat. Dry stack, keel cooler, woodburner in the master are a few of the attractions for someone doing your type of boating. -- Skipper |

There are many posts of his in the archives that demonstrate he hates Jews and blacks. That's enough for me not to want to give him the benefit of anything. Perhaps you are comfy with racist slimeballs. I am not. You hate Republicans and other non-Democrats. What's the difference hate is hate. |
