Can't see enough of the superstructure to be definitive, but it looks more like a motoryacht than a trawler to me. Obviously doesn't have a proper boat deck and running from the lower helm (if even equipped) is a low priority. |

Do you consider Wayne's or Chuck's boats 'luxury yachts'?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I realize over 4 nmpg. I'd be surprised to learn that Harry's boat is more economical than that. While Harry has the financial resources to own whatever he likes, including a small fleet of boats, many of the people who are so against medium size and larger boats adopt that position as a result of poorly informed conclusions. People who own large boats are stereotypically dismissed as folks with way too much money. (Large boat = anything larger than the one the person complaining about large boats happens to own). In reality, most of us with moderate or larger size boats are juyst normal folks who have made different choices and spent money with different priorities. It amazes me how a guy driving down the freeway in a 40-foot, $350,000 motor home is perceived as a "retired working stiff, living the America retirement dream while touring the country." Put the same guy in a 40-foot, $150,000 boat and all of a sudden he's part of he "wealthy elite, out of touch with the common man and wasting resources." |

Harry,
Is using profanity behaving like a gentleman? "Once more, Reggie, don't offer me advice and don't ask me questions." http://tinyurl.com/3dg Krause, what makes you such an ass? Is it the way you were raised, or do you have some organic brain deficit? |

Obviously doesn't have a proper boat deck and running from the lower helm (if even equipped) is a low priority. It was a motoryacht (HTMY). We were running side by side with them while taking pictures of a sinking LT Parker (actually it was just down by the stern), when we started taking incoming enemy fire. I immediately activated the electronic counter measures which were very effective. Unfortunately the HTMY was not so equipped and suffered irreparable damage from incoming flak. The LTP sped off mumbling something about how we were burning all of *his* oil. |

After a four year war "for oil" that continues, $3+ prices at the pump, and the hard right working harder than ever to deny the impact of global warming, it just seems "smarter" to downsize one's energy consuming toys. I wouldn't mind seeing a substantial luxury tax or energy surtax on oversized pleasure vehicles, luxury yachts, private planes, et cetera. The surtax should be on the cost of the fuel in excess of X amount of gallons used per month, not the item the fuel is used in. Eisboch Harry, if you're still reading - many of those trawlers are powered with small diesels, burning almost nothing. Do you consider Wayne's or Chuck's boats 'luxury yachts'?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I realize over 4 nmpg. I'd be surprised to learn that Harry's boat is more economical than that. Some small tests I've run on Son of Yo Ho indicate about 3.5 mpg at 26 mph. At your boat's speeds, my mileage goes down. 10 miles an hour equals about 2 mpg. So what? Eisboch |
