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.


I have no idea why you took Waylon out of your bozo bin.
Did you actually think he was going to change for the better??

As I see his little word game comments through your answers to him...
I congratulate myself on my decision to flush him out of my bilge.
Peggy Hall might have recommended treating this discharge though
before polluting our fair waterways.




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.

Some of us who actually care about boats and know a little about them,

nothing about them, people like you, don't notice the significance of an
unexplained material used in an expensive new boat.

There are many materials that can be used in "infused" composite
boatbuilding, including carbon fiber, fiberglass, kevlar, even wood
strips. Is the thermosetting material epoxy? Vinylester? It isn't even
clear the hull material is solid, as opposed to cored.

Harry, here is a bunch of info on the codeveloper of the NW 42, including
his email address. If, as you say, you are so interested, ask him your
technical questions.

Please come back and let us know the questions and answers.

Not interested. Only thought it was peculiar the advertorial mentioned a
hull material that was not properly defined. If I were buying that sort
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.

"Getting there" on a powerboat to me is not as interesting as "being
there." That's especially true in the middle of the relatively
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
Interstate highways, either, but sometimes I like where they lead.


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.

Eisboch



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

Harry, you have been implying that with every post you've made about boats
bigger than yours. You may not have used those exact words, but you've sure
been making the implication!

Now I'll butt back out.

That's absurd. I'm simply not a fan of slow-moving powerboats, nor do I
like to spend time "getting there." If others enjoy that, so be it.

More questions and "advice" from Reggie, the boatless ranking a**hole of
rec.boats.

Being out in the middle of the Bay driving a powerboat is...well, kinda
boring. On a nice windy day, though, being on a sailboat out there is

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
nosed dolphins. There must have been at least 30 of them just ripping
the living daylights out of a school of smaller fish on the surface.

Wayne,
Boating is very similar to life, it isn't the destination, but the
journey that makes it worthwhile.
