This boat of ours is not a fishing boat. Nice runabout but too much
upholstery and not enough open cockpit area for fishing.

And as my wife is now turned onto fishing (she caught at least 40 of the 73
perch yesterday) I have a plan...............to move to a 23 foot walk
around with a small cuddy.

A friend of mine has a 22' Grady White SeaFarer..........I really like that
boat. I have also seen a 23' Pro-line WA that I like.

Anchoring and moving about on the boat will also be easier, especially for
her.

I now have all winter to start selling her on the idea!

What are some dependable brands in the walk around market?

Parker. 25' Pilothouse. Private electric head. Dependable outboard with NO
I/O problems. Huge cockpit. Stove. Sink.

Slightly used.


I know you have a nice boat Harry but I don't want a boat with an enclosed
pilot house. We also have no use for a stove or a sink. Thanks for
thinking of me though.

No problem Harry. We all know you spent the 'approximate' cost of
'several' 'large' orders of fries to winterize that imaginary boat of
yours.

Merry Christmas Harry.

Here's something you might not otherwise think to consider:

Although the freeboard appears a bit short for my particular
preference.


Another good but unusual choice might be:

Since you don't need overnight amenities, the Glacier Bay does provide
the one thing you (and more especially your wife) would want in a
cuddy- in a fully enclosed compartment for privacy.

Why don't you give it a rest? No one gives a crap. Except you.
Harry, you seem to. You instantly and consistently condemn me for
something that is ENTIRELY of JimH's making. Go to the source, Harry.

You're welcome.

Here's a link to a pretty good video of the Glacier Bay. Gives you a
better sense of being aboard the boat than still photos would. Glacier
Bay is built right here in the Seattle area (Monroe). Send me an email
if you actually get serious about a new Glacier Bay and I'll see if I
can get you a VIP introduction to your local dealer. Can't hurt. :-)

As far as the Twin Vee goes, check out Cory Gracey's account of his
fishing trip to Ucluelet in the latest issue of a particular magazine.
(I believe you have a copy and will know which publication I'm
referring to). Crossing the Strait of Juan de Fuca in 40-knot winds
while his father in law took a nap in the cabin! Pretty impressive- but
he wasn't in a walk-around model.

Harry's right. Post #4 in this thread is you taking a shot at JimH.
Based on sequence, that would be "the source".

Thank you for illustrating my long-standing position so clearly. The
problem with personal fights (typically beginning in OT political
posts) is that they tend to leak into
the on-topic discussions. Harry's right, nobody much cares about how
you and JimH might feel about each other. The purpose of the NG is to
discuss boats, not sustain some bleak and dismal soap opera.
