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?


What happened? You haven't read a newspaper or seen a TV news show in
the last 15 years?
As high as diesel fuel has risen, it is still a relatively small
percentage of overall costs with a large sportfish. The guys being
impacted the most are the ones with large gas engines. Those boats
tend to be smaller and less expensive which makes fuel cost a much
larger piece of the overall budget.

Anyone thinking about buying a large diesel powered boat that is
worried about fuel costs just can't afford it.
You just don't seem to get it. It isn't a matter of affording it. It is
a matter of wasting huge amounts of dwindling resources for "fun."
Does your 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat waste huge amounts of
dwindling resources for your fun?

Give it up man - it's not going anywhere.

We get the point.

I think I've finally figure it out. Harry is the idiot everyone keeps
around because his antics are funny as hell. Nobody, I hope, believes
the crap he throws around.
