the name, but not the way the man himself spelled it.

I'd really like to see you take that position, Krause, at a Marina
Palmira dock party...heck, they'd probably just hand you another beer
knowing your whacked.

Well, Skipper, yesterday you complained about off topic posts. So,
I've
tried to maintain an on topic discussion with you. You've used every
possible opportunity to make a crack about Krause, and now you've
gotten
into a ****ing contest with him.

So, please, no more complaining about the lack of on topic threads.
It's
patently obvious you want to push your own agenda, not have a
discussion
that's on topic.

He gets what he deserves John.......I am sure you will finally see that.


Now Jim. Only a couple months ago you were making comments like that about
the guy you're following around now. It's really not that hard to be nice.


I am nice....to those who are honest and do not spend their first month here
flaming and telling lies about the members her.

Do you respect folks like that John?

I hope you'll provide videos of that tow job.

Looks like the Accord is going to need more flotation than I've got
laying around at the moment, and Mrs B was not taken with the idea,
even after I explained the importance of towability to her.

Couldn't have been an overweight issue, might be the first time a

We were paying close to that when we had our 32 footer, but it was a
drive up dock and quite nice.


What's a "drive up dock"?

Eisboch


Drive up right to your dock.........no need to walk down finger piers to
your boat hundreds of yards from where you parked.

Picture's worth a whole bunch of words! I'm going to assume that the
slip and the parking space are a matched set. Looks nice. And
convenient.


Yep.

That was our old marina. Our new one is not as nice (amenity wise) but
actually has more open grass/tree area to picnic in....more of a park like
setting. When we drive up to our dock our boat will be sitting 15 from
the car, with a grassy area in front and a large park like setting behind.


Land next to a lake is not a $1,000,000+ an acre in Ohio.

No self-respecting queer would live anywhere near Derby, Kansas.

I've been out there, in that area. It's bloody awful.

I just mapped Derby on Yahoo. Only thing he is close to is an interstate.
And that is not even a western heading interstate.

Use to have a friend in Okalahoma. He said it was always windy because
either Texas or Kansas was always blowing and the other sucked.

A full acre of lakeshore (Lake Erie) property in the suburbs certainly is.

You just can't underestimate the towability of the candidate boats. It's

Both boats will do just fine on those waters. However, the Grady would
be my choice between these two in the hot summer months for obvious
reasons.

Oh yes, we all know now that towability is the single most important
criteria when evaluating boats.

Thank you for the enlightenment.

I'm going outside now to hich up the Grand Banks to my wife's Honda
Accord.

Thank you for the thank you, Whine. It's good that we are back to
discussing boating and not flaming each other, yes?

Skipper,
I don't think Wayne's comment was a flame, it was sarcasm designed to
prove a point. While towability might be an important factor for a few
people, it is not, nor should it be the most important consideration for
most.

Most people who want to take a boating vacation a long distance from
home, will charter a boat. This is the reason there are so many charter
companies in the Florida and the Carri bean. There are many charter
companies in San Diego and around the Sea of Cortes that allow you do
cruise without the hidden expense of wear to your tow vehicle when you
trailer a boat 1500 miles. They are also stocked with provisions and
outfitted for the area you will be boating.
