Speaking of New Boats...
 

The wife has decided. The Triumph is out of the question now. She and I
both liked the Scout better. We'll be moving to NC in about a year and a
half, and this looks to be easily towable to various lakes and the ocean.
Any comments?

The transom isn't open, but I'm hoping it will be pretty safe anyway.

Nice boat.

Although you could have had my Ranger for less money. :)

I like the Scout model line - nice lines and the interior layout is
very well thought out.

I would, though, take a look at Polar in this same model class.

The more I see them, the more I am impressed with the whole Polar
concept.

Nice boat. I like the proud sweep in the bow. I see a lot of boats in
that size and configuration/function that would look so much nicer
with a little sweep like that in the bow. The last 20 footer I lofted
out had a nice sweep like that..... Oh, and a motor well with the 18
inch bracket, 2 1/2 feet forward of the transom ;)

I like the Polar boats, but the smallest CC is the 19'er, but it's bigger
than I want. I want something that I can easily pop onto a trailer hitch
and take off with. I *don't* want something requiring trailer brakes, which
I'm afraid that extra weight may require. The Polar doesn't have the fancy
seating of the Scout, and that was a must for the wife, who is thinking of
grandkids visiting!

If the wife is thinking of grandkids visiting on the boat. 18' is too

The SeaPro 186 cc is a lot more boat for the money, as is the SeaPro
1900 "Bay" boat.

I guess I have more consideration for my wife than to tell her to sit on a
bucket in the open to do her business.


And if you need #2. head to shore.

Not always possible or practical. I do not expect to tell folks on my
boat.........tough luck, just crap in your pants.

I thought you left coasters were the sensitve and caring type. I guess
not.

Perhaps, but more out of respect to my wife. I would not ask her to walk
through the water to take a crap in the woods, nor would I ask her to take a
**** in a bucket on the open deck of my boat.

Different strokes I guess.

Well, we know you're a real winner, Jim. Sometimes a little prior planning
will work wonders.

When I had a porta potty in the boat, I gave the wife a choice. We could
leave it in, and it became her responsibility. Or we could take it out. It
came out quite soon, and was never put back in.

No, I've never had to tell someone to poop in their pants.

Is that why you are here? Most people take a crap before leaving the
dock.
And if you are inland boating, there are trees and bushes along the
shoreline.


I doubt if either Jim or Don or any of their family/acquaintances are so
uncouth as to use a bucket, the water or a bush for such things. Some
folks
are quite pure of mind and body.

What about it?
I spent 3 nights and two full sailing days on my Sandpiper 565 at the first
of this month and was able to avoid using my MSD.
Trick...limiting intake controls outflow. Plus we spend two nights at a
municipal marina in Rousseau. the guy hosting the regatta had the key to
the public wahhrooms/showers and the in-between night was at his cottage.
Stragetic stops at a beach for a raftup afforded the opportunity to go
ashore for 'refreshment'.

Perhaps, but more out of respect to my wife. I would not ask her to walk
through the water to take a crap in the woods, nor would I ask her to take
a **** in a bucket on the open deck of my boat.

Different strokes I guess.


Well, I beach the boat at times for picnics, exploring. Put the bow on the
beach, and climb onto the sand / rocks. My boat has fairly tall sides. 35"
from the chine.

It looks like a folding bucket. I hope you are not going to ask your
wife to use that.

Nothing for you to worry about, Jim. The death of my mom, and what Don has
told us about his mom, do cause concern. Plus, it might deflect Don from
his personal attacks, which are unnecessary.

Herring is neither original nor clever. But he does suffer from
Asperger's syndrome.

Thanks, Harry. It's an honor to be mentioned in one of your posts! Whatever
you say must be true!

True, but his constant attack mode is a shame. He'd probably be a pretty
nice guy, if he's like most Canadians I've met.

There was a Canadian Army Brigade in Germany that I worked with every now
and then. Those guys were a blast. Of course, they weren't trying to keep
HK impressed.
