in what you have to say. Personally, I do trust you come here with
good intention, and I would guess that most others do too. harry,
well, there is just no substance there. I would not bother with him if
I were you.

Yes, i fairly well enjoy Chuck's posts. I've learned quiate a bit from
him.

and you still use AOL and GOOGLE groups and I don't?

Awww, now hHarry. I use GOOGLEE, and AOL too. I knwo I'm cheap, but
they serve the purpose, even though I'm getting tired of AOL, and even
though I'm on their "free edition" AOL loads slower, and usually fills
your computer full of so-called "art work" that needs flushed out
every once in a while.

I usually use Yahoo or MSN, and I'd probably drop AOL totally, but I
still have an e-mail acct that I've used for over 10 years. But I may
ditch it too.


Keep posting Chuck,. I enjoy them.

Chuck thinks I'm a computer "geek" because I don't use AOL.

Tom, I figured you'd be upgrading to the Sea Vee 390 any day now. Surely
the price of gas will have no bearing:

"With a fuel capacity of 570 gallons, range can exceed 650 miles with
triple outboards"

Sounds economical to me. (not). $2500 fill-up for about 15 hours of
running time. (Site says the most economical speeds are at about 40
mph).

But once again it's somewhat relevant. What's the price on that thing
with 3 outboards? Something north of $500k?

Look again, the thing comes with *four* 300hp outboards!- Hide quoted text -

Yes, it does have an optional rigging of either 3 or 4 outboards. I
referenced the three outboard configuration as that is what the speed
and range claims are based upon.

Now of course that was years and years ago. The Hatteras owner still
lives along the Atlantic seaboard, only a bit farther north. It's no
wonder the poor schlump left town, especially after that unfortunate
incident where somebody with the exact same name (but not provably the
same person) was arrested for exposing his genitals to a school bus
filled with little kids. I would have left town too. They don't take
too kindly to sexual perverts down in Florida, and if one were to have
the unfortunate distinction of sharing the exact same name as somebody
suspected of flashing school kids he could wind up just as beat up or
lynched as the actual culprit.



Wow..after all the talk about improving the newsgroup and how bad it was a
year ago, I can't believe you would regurgitate this kind of garbage from
the type of posters we had infesting the group.
You've just given up any moral right to critize any other posts here.

Take a look at the two of us, what a pair. One of us is a "spammer and
netcop". The other is a proven liar, for all intents and purposes a
non-boater, a poster of septic tank stories and soft porn sites, a
political troll, and a *bitter computer geek who likes to flame in a
bunch of different newsgroups. We should have very little to say to
one another, as apart from both being assholes we don't have anything
in common. Aside from the proven fact that you cannot exist without
somebody to attack all the time, there's no reason for your posts to
so frequently contain greasy little spitwads with my name on them.

Well, Chuck "Just Call Me Mr. Spam" Gould, your posts seem to get more
tasteless each time you find your keyboard.

Non-boater? On what do you base that?
Poster of soft porn sites? I don't even know what a "soft porn" site is,
Chuck. Is that a site for guys like you who don't appreciate "hard" porn?
Computer geek? Moi? Just because I moved up from DOS 1.1 and you still
use AOL and GOOGLE groups and I don't?
You're the one in attack mode, netcop. I'm just pulling you up by your
shorthairs for your hypocrisy. You know, your "My stuff doesn't stink,
but yours does" attitude.

Soft porn site?

Sorry, don't know any.

Take a careful look, Harry.

Every one of my comments about your dubious presence here or your
illustrious past is in *response* to some unprovoked nastiness from
you with my name on it. If you're tired of tasteless retorts, stop
bringing up my name where it doesn't belong. Take note how another
party and I recently resolved this: he hasn't posted any unprovoked
flames with my name attached, and I haven't mentioned him by name at
all. It really can be that easy, or it can be as tough as you want to
make it.

If you don't like the content of one of my boating related posts, feel
free to say so. You can do that without firing up the flame thrower
and making personal remarks. If I don't like the content of one of
your poltical trolls, I will feel free to say so as well. If we're
intelligent adults, we will restrict our comments to the content
rather than speculate on the character of the other party.

Maybe the guys in the market for used boats like this one?

Somehow I just can't quite see that going down the road behind a $2000
beater truck. Not saying it wouldn't or couldn't happen, but I would
be surprised to see it done routinely.

And, heck yes it's possible to boat really, really, cheaply. Strap a
little car-topper upside down over an 88 Honda Accord and head for the
beach. When there, row around or hang a 3-5 HP outboard on the back.
It doesn't have to be expensive, it's just that most folks prefer
something above a minimalist experience.




I doubt most guys who buy 28' Gradys trailer them very far, if at all,
Dr. Spam. Gradys are pretty popular around here, and that includes the
larger ones. Most are slipped at marinas. Some are kept at storage lots
adjacent to marinas. You don't need much of a truck to get your boat
from the storage lot to the ramp. And if the ramps are decent, you
typically do not need a 4X4 as a launch vehicle.

As for what "most folks" prefer, I suggest you haven't a clue.

Perhaps in the future the commercial boating magazine for which you
write will change its name to Northwest Cartopper, and you can regale us
with tours of the plastic canoe factory.

Harry, you're such a sweetheart. What a neat guy!
