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

What are some dependable brands in the walk around market?

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

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.


Thanks.

Bass,
You and JimH should just filter each other, you both are guilty of
cluttering up the NG with the exact same statements over and over again.
It appears you enjoy the fights just as much as he does.

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.


If either one of them would simply ignore the other it would stop. They
fuel off of each other, each having to have the last say.

I've got a couple of young grandchildren that argue in a similar way.

Good for you.

Let's bring this back on topic please.

If my kids ever stooped as low as JimH and started telling lies about
other people, making wild allegations, say mean spirited things about
someone's family, etc. they would be punished. I hope to hell JimH
hasn't instilled his horrible low life standards on his kids.

I'll tell you one that I have been extremely impressed with since
they first started making them - Polar.

http://tinyurl.com/f3qxr

Their whole fleet of boats is extremely well made and cleverly
appointed. When I first ran into these, I was in the market for my
Fisharound and almost pulled the trigger on a 23' Polar instead - at
the time they weren't making the 27'.

I had the opportunity to test drive one up in Gloucester, MA at a
dealer who had one the color I wanted (white with blue accents) and he
let me take it on a trailer around town to see how it towed - I was
impressed.

The only reason I didn't buy it was because it came pre-rigged with
Merc Sal****er 115's and I didn't want them. To purchase the boat
sans motors was a problem and while we were working out the details,
the Contender came up and that was that.

You might also want to take a look at their 21 center console. It's
amazing how much room the step down head has on that boat.

Grady's are Grady's - well made, good sound boats with lots to
recommend them. Priced like it too.

Prolines - eh, I'm not all that impressed with them. I think they are
built with a very light laminate and while that can be positive in
some ways, I don't feel they are as stable as other brands - meaning
that they tend to move around a lot in all kinds of seas. I also
don't think their layout is efficient and their interiors are cramped
- put more than one person in the boat and you have a problem even
with the larger boats.

As to Chuck and his Cats - I wouldn't buy one on a bet. There is a
guy at my marina who has a 23' World and in a beam sea off Newport,
fuggetaboutit. Head and following seas, can't beat 'em.

Just my opinion you understand.

Yep. The 2300 walk around looks like an option to consider. Thanks!

Check out Robalo and Seaswirl/Striper for some solid upper-mid-tier boats.

I'm partial to Grady's and Whaler's though.

Why would anyone want 73 perch. Fishing is a great past time. One only
needs a feed.
if you want to rape the seabed go by this.

Have you ever been yellow perch fishing on Lake Erie? Do you know their
size and what the limit is/day? Obviously not.

But don't fret............very last fish will be eaten..........trust me.

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.

Yep!

Oh, how cute, the resident low life now must resort to cutting the text

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 sound like a child yet you have posted "Grow up" more than all
