following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

Mrs. Wave and I traveled over to the new Bass Pro Shops in Foxboro
today at Patriot's Place.

Anyway, I was walking around while Mrs. Wave was purchasing her sale
goodies. Got a really close look at a Mako 26 CC and almost cried.


Odd... after boating the morning and most of the afternoon..... my son
and I hit the Bass Pro Shop in Myrtle Beach.

Two Makos looked great..... all of the others had blemishes just as
you described....

None of the boats at the Foxboro store were what I would call
"showroom". It was unbelievable.

The sad thing is that they have also changed the hull design
significantly. The long forefoot is gone as is the distinctive bow
rake. The stern is now somewhat rounded instead of that great squared
off look the the tilt sternwards.

Unfortunate.

Harry won't challenge either SWS or Eisboch, Harry knows he would loose.


I don't regard discussion of issues as a "challenge" or something to win or
lose. It's an exchange of views, sometimes heated, whereby your POV may
become modified or made more concrete.

I agree with him and others on many subjects and disagree with him and
others on other things.

I have the same relationship with many people, including myself sometimes.

If you engage in a discussion with the primary purpose of "winning" .... you
lose.

Amen.

It might help that he doesn't call you guys names with every other post.

Why would I refer to SW or Eisboch as a**holes? They aren't. You are.
Further, they contribute a lot to this forum. You don't.

Harry, I wasn't even thinking of me. You've not called me an asshole for a
long time. In fact, you've been downright amicable, except when I don't
agree with your position, of course. But even then, you've not stooped to
the asshole routine.

Besides, I think my comments about Norway were just as contributory as your
and theirs.

The "labor department" these days is a piece of Bush-admin crap, just like
everything else the Bush Admin has touched, and therefore its opinions are
not relevant.

You're just ****ed they caught Ullico with their hands in the cookie jar.

Bill, try to work this through your pea-brain.
My consulting contract with ULLICO ended more than three and a half
years ago. I helped out with a transition, and when it was over, I moved
on. Got it? DO you have enough working synapses to parse that?

The fact remains, everything in government the Bush Admin controls is a
piece of crap.

Bush controls everything except Congress and the Judiciary, therefore
anything in the executive branch is a "piece of crap?" What happens if
a Democrat is sworn into the office of the president on Jan 20th 2009?
Does everything in the executive branch suddenly turn to roses or does
it take years and years to unseat all of those Bush people?

Grow up Krause.
