I thought this was a boating NG. It is. Sad. Yes you are. How old did you say you were Jim? 12? Yeah, only a 12 year old would post a URL to someone holding a sign saying something stupid, huh? Oh, wait, that's YOU that did that..... http://captions.illmeyer.com/?do=10;91799;fYVmrw- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - That's just great. Jim calls someone twelve years old for doing the exact same thing as he does. As usual. Now, go away, no one wants you here. NO ONE. Please differentiate between me and that other whiny ass, Jim H Jim Easy enough...you're an assh*le. Ohio Jim isn't. Your post, by the way, is a great addition to the effort here to improve the tone of this newsgroup. |

Folks are also apparently baling out of the 32' to 45' used power boat market due to increased fuel prices. From the May 2008 edition of Boat/US power trade or sale: 14 feet to 24 feet - 21 ads 25 feet to 31 feet - 40 ads 32 feet to 45 feet - 157 ads 46+ feet - 10 ads Although this may not be a true indicator of the market one has to also consider the drop in stock prices of boat manufacturers. Notice also that those who can afford the larger yachts are not baling out (at least according to the Boat/US ads). With dockside pump prices expected to exceed $5/gallon will you be selling or limiting cruising your 32~45 footer? This is odd to see only a small number of 14-24-ft boats ads while a much larger number of 32-45-ft ads. The absolute number of 14-24-ft boats should be far greater than boats in other size-categories combined. Even if there is a small percentage of 14-24-ft boats are on sales, the total number of ads for this size boats should still be very large. May be Boat/US ads site is mainly for larger boats like those in 32-45-ft class? Therefore, we should also compare this period ads of 2008 with the same period ads from 2007 in order to see the trend. The other possibility is that small boats tend to stay close to shore and not go that far. They don't spend that much gas to reach their fishing ground anyway. Therefore, higher gas price is not as big a factor as comparing to large boats that tend to go a long distance to reach the exciting off-shore fishing ground. And the larger boats may be mainly for cruising. By definition, they will need to travel far to justify their existence. If the gas price is too high for cruising around for the current boat owners, they will want to sell the boats. Thanks for posting the interesting statistics. Jay Chan |

Now it will cost that guy a couple of hunred bucks a day just for gas, he can no longer afford his boat. My 16 footer uses 2-3 gallons on a long day maybe 5.. I have no need to sell my boat..

Glad we sold it when we did and moved into a 20 footer that gets great gas mileage. ;-) |

Then it cranked up again. Same bunch, same names, same people doing the same thing they've been doing for a long time. It's like they all have wild squirrels running around in their heads shooting off starter guns - every once in a while the squirrels have to rest and things get too quiet, the squirrels wake up, reload and start all over again. Surreal. |

All of them - Wally, DK, Florida Jim, Herring, Loggy, et cetera - are behaving as they always have. |
