Real men and real boats run outside south of Beaufort, NC.

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.
