The latest Sport Fishing magazine has a profile of a 42' Yellowfin
center console with FOUR 300-hp outboards. Engines burn 113 gph at WOT
(67 mph) but only (!) 41 gph at a 40 mph cruise.

Well, fools and their money are soon parted, but I believe anyone who
buys one of these deserves to be hit with some sort of horrific fuel
wastage tax, maybe a non-tax deductible charge of, say, $20,000
just for
owning such a resource waster.

Boats and fuel wastage like this just puts us all deeper in the
hole to
the Saudi pigs.

1nmpg isn't all that unusual for a 42-footer traveling at any sort of
speed. Heck you're lucky to do any better than 4nmpg in a single
screw, 7-knot, 42-foot trawler. And just like any other boat, fuel
consumption at WOT is almost obscene.

One man's fuel "wastage" is somebody elses' "gawd-given right to
recreate" and pursue the American dream.

At one time, Harry, you were very proud to own a Hatteras. That boat
had to burn one heck of a lot of fuel at any sort of speed. What
happened to change your attitude over the last 7-10 years?



I also remember when Harry was building his custom 36 ft'er, GPH or
MPG were not including in his criteria, speed to his fishing area was
his only criteria.

The trawler seems to be a great option for those who are spending a
lot of time boating and enjoy the experience of boating. Like life,
it is the journey not the destination.


Didn't he get a sweet heart deal on ULLICO or WorldCom stock that
enabled him to pay for his 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat. I wonder
why he doesn't talk about it now?



Wow...a circle jerk.


Harry lies never die on Usenet even when you get all of your posts
deleted from Google. All of the responses are still there.

Do you want me to catalog your lies for you? This will enable you to say
yes it is still an active lie or it is one that you don't want to
perpetuate anymore.

What ever happened to the 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat? Do you still
have it, have you sold it? Just what did you do with it.
