Soooo, this is really a spam for your brothers business eh! OK, still
don't like the lines but what do I know

"Cold molding" is a term used to describe a construction process where
wood strips or sections are used to create the shape of the hull and
are bonded together with resin. See the mfgr's statement about
manufacturing technique......

Been popular with one-off's for a long period of time. Creating the
molds is a huge expense in traditional FRP construction, to the point
where a few boats normally need to be sold before enough of the mold
cost is amortized to begin breaking even. With cold molding, there is
no mold per se. In some cases, the wooden strips are simply applied
directly to
the frames- almost like planking a traditional wooden boat.

Yeah, well, what takes you 200 hours I probably can do in two on a
commercial flight. I like being there, not getting there.

Not unless you're supersonic.

And try landing your commercial flight here in Hadley Harbor. The
Forbes family will *not* be amused.

Well, of course...near the top of my list is what "the Forbes family"
cares about, eh? Why, I care almost as much about "the Forbes family"
as I do about Dick Cheney.

Nope. Thought you guys might like seeing them is all. They're small and
hand craft each one. They're not mass producers.

I didn't see anything "commercial" or offensive about the post. It's not
as if you're giving your publication's advertisers a handjob.

No problem, just needed to see where the goalposts were.

As for my pattern of use, it's not particularly relevant. Where I
keep my boat, I can get to good fishing spots in 15 minutes to an
hour of running the engine. So, it's easy to spend the entire day
fishing and not have the engine on for more than hour on some trips.
I can cross Chesapeake Bay in 15-20 minutes and drift fish for
flounder all day long without starting the engine up for the return
home. You can do these sorts of things when your boat cruises easily
at 25-30 mph.

Maybe so but 115 hours in 4 years is very light usage by anyone's
definition.

You need to get out more.

We've run 200 hours in the last 5 weeks.


Yeah, well, what takes you 200 hours I probably can do in two on a
commercial flight. I like being there, not getting there.

This was really posted by the guy who was contemplating (due to his
narcissism no doubt) repowering the Parker with a 300HP Yamaha! What
next, Harry?
