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. |

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, Wouldn't a 36' Lobster Boat be considered on of those over sized pleasure vehicle? |

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. |
