B- You are the person who likes to pretend that boating is a macho

been wayyyyyy offshore. I never considered it a macho thing. I just
thought I was having fun.


Not me. You're wrong again. And how far can you go offshore in your
imaginary boat on dried up Lake Lanier, anyway?

Harry, Why do you think someone who boats one place, has limited his
boating to ONLY that place. As I said, I have been boating in all the
Great Lakes, and down the entire East Coast to Key West. I have spent
a little time boating in the Gulf and a quite a bit of time boating in
lakes besides Lake Lanier.

Why do like to talk about how where you boat one would **** in their
pants. I hate to tell you this, but if you feel like you are going to
**** in your pants, you are not doing it correctly. You have gone
beyond your skills and comfort level. I seems you have spent a lot of
time boating outside of your comfort zone.

C - I was not discussing how people use their boats. I have seen 18'
Bayliners 50 miles offshore, but the mfg'er would never call them an
offshore boat. I stated correctly, that Carolina Skiff designates
their boats as inshore and offshore boats. Their offshore boats all
have a full transom.


I haven't noticed many manufacturer designating their boats one way or
another. I'm sure a few do, but that's not particularly relevant to this
conversation.

I didn't say all mfg'es designate their boats one way or another. I
said Carolina Skiff does.

D. You have stated you like to boat/fish 15 min. from your ramp. You
don't like to spend anytime cruising to a destination or trailering
your boat, so what does it matter if your transom has a hole in it.
You fish in the bay, and you have a great little bay boat.


I fish other places, too, crapbrains.

Why have you made hundred of posts talking about why you HATE to trailer
a boat and why you HATE to cruise. If you need to do either, you will
just rent a boat when you get there. Heck, in your last boat, you spent
25 hrs a year boating. It really is hard to go anywhere and only use
your boat that little.
