Oh.....I just found this site:

Peter and Jan Whiting are taking the NW 42 down the Pacific Coast.
They're almost to Oregon, and headed to San Diego.

Anybody intersted in how this boat handles in rough weather can check
the blog......this time of year they will have *plenty* of gnarly
weather to deal with. Coastal forecast for Thursday is calling for
sustained winds of 40 knots with higher gusts........("Auntie Em!")


Nice looking boat and interesting design. Interestingly, this is the second
time in the past week that I've heard about articulating rudders. The first
was with a very experienced sailboater and boat builder here at Kingman.

I realize that the NW 42 is a new trawler type boat design but I am not sure
I am ready to accept the radar arch instead of a traditional mast. The
arch is probably more functional and convenient, but it just doesn't look
right to me on this type of boat.

I agree.

"Getting there" on a powerboat to me is not as interesting as "being

featureless body of water. I can appreciate that others might like the
nothingness of it. I hate flying long distances, but once I get to an
interesting locale, I typically like it a lot. In other words, I view
the vehicle as a means to an end. I don't much like driving the

Understood. There are many who share your preference. That does not mean,
however, that those of us that enjoy the voyage as well are screwed up.

I don't recall saying or implying you were screwed up.

Have you noticed that you seem to thrill on using high school
insults, yet they only thing I have ever done is point out the
obvious inconsistencies in your many insults and statements.

So do you see many rodents up your way. I hope you finally took my
suggestion and allow your wildlife to eat a healthy. natural varied
diet, and have stopped feeding them your table scraps.



Once again, "reggie," I have no more interest in your advice or
questions than I would in a dog turd I walked around on the sidewalk,
other than noticing the smell was about the same.

Then why did you ask me about lake lanier rodents?

Amen to that. I'm planning on installing a fresh-water washdown pump in
my center console, and was pleasantly surprised to see extra pull
strings coming out of electrical rigging tube in the console. One goes
to the bow and two go to the transom area. I won't need them for the
pump, but if I want to run wiring between the transom or bow and the
center console, I'll be able to do it without more trouble than I need.

Actually, the bozo bin is on hiatus, and has been since I decided to
flush out my Thunderbird application in favor of a fresh install of the
latest beta, which no longer is a beta. When I cleaned out the old
T'bird files, the only thing I saved were email addresses and some
"stored" email.

Reading the first of Reggie's posts a couple of weeks ago was, I admit,
a moment of compassionate weakness on my part. I thought he was going to
behave in here. Alas, he's the same snarky turd he's always been.

There are still a few whose posts I simply skip over and don't read,
period. I'm sure you can guess who they are.

It really is easy to filter threads or individuals in Thunderbird.

If you would like some assistance, let me know.

It really only takes about 1/2 sec. to set it up.

Not interested. Only thought it was peculiar the advertorial mentioned a

of boat, it wouldn't have an "infused composite" hull.

Harry,
Since you have no idea what materials and layup schedule is on the boat,
how do you know you wouldn't want their "infused composite" hull.

All magazine write fluff reviews to create interest in a boat, so those
who are actually interested can contact the mfg'er and get all of their
questions answered. You are not interested in a trawler, you were only
interested in giving Chuck a rash of **** (your favorite pastime in
rec.boats). As Eisboch said, if it wasn't for your confrontational
post, you wouldn't have anything to say in rec.boats. Do you still
think Chuck, Eisboch and Wayne should be hit with a tax surcharge just
because they have a boat larger than yours?

Heck, at 25 hrs a year, you use your boat less than an hour a week. Why
don't you just save yourself some money and use some of the fishing
charters in the area. You might be able to learn something along the way.

You might be surprised just how fun it can be, and most of the time
the GB drives itself, sort of like someone taking you for a ride on a
nice day. All we have to do is keep a lookout for small LT fishing
boats. It's all too easy to accidently sink one with our wake.

Other than Tangier Island, one of the highlights of our trip through
the lower Chesapeake was seeing a feeding frenzy by a school of bottle

Your assumption is that I have not driven larger powerboats long
distances, either in the Bay, in coastal waters, in the ocean, or in the
ICW. Your assumption would be wrong.

We don't see many dolphins up here, but we do see a few from time to

You and Reggie seem to have newsgroup a**hole down pat.

And of course, your advice, like his, is wrong. The Bay around here is

But the Patuxent River, one of your favorite haunts, and a suitable

we didn't see many boats your size out on the Bay unless it was very

I call 'em as I see 'em. You've become a troll.

To find fresh water on the Pax, you have to go farther upstream than I
ever have on a power boat. I've been about five miles north of the
Benedict Bridge in Calvert County, and the water was still brackish.

Have fun running your barge downhill to Florida. Try not to run aground
too many times between the St. Mary's River and Daytona.

LTs should not try this at home.


Oh, you'll head in if the weather conditions are right. Bet on it.

Careful, you are once again damaging Harry's already low self esteem.

He's running on empty these days after downgrading to a small LT boat.
Next thing you know he'll be trolling from a rental row boat.

When you boat less than a hour a week, it really wouldn't matter.

That would be the prudent thing to do.

When I lived along the ICW in Florida, I'd often see boats like yours
wallowing down the ditch, and a couple of miles south of us, about every
two weeks, grounding on what was then an unmarked sandbar.

On good weather days, we'd go out into the Atlantic 20 miles to fish off
some of the manmade reefs. Never saw any trawlerbarges like yours out
there. Sometimes we'd see a trawlerbarge or sailboat just outside the
St. Johns River, waiting for the outgoing tide and current to change so
they could head in to the intersection of the river and the ICW.

I doubt you run outside the ditch heading south in Florida. Why would you?

It is simple, because he wanted to, and because he can.

Since Wayne really doesn't live a make believe world in rec.boats, why
do you doubt him?

Hey, want to take me up on my bet to make some easy money?

Harry, I hate to say this, but you are sounding much like JimH with your
comments - full of jealousy. It's not becoming.


Wayne has devolved into a "reggie-like" a**hole. No need to treat him
differently. The last person I would be jealous of is a horse's ass with
a big, slow-moving floating RV.

Well, I think it sounds like jealousy, which you've got to camouflage
somehow. Reggie has offered to place a bet with you. Why not take him up on
it, especially if you're so confident he doesn't have a boat?

Are *all* large trawlers 'trawlerbarges or RV's', or is it just Wayne's and
Chuck's that fit your categorizing.


I like the looks of Chuck's boat just fine, especially since the
"makeover." The boat is too slow for my taste, but she looks great.
