Why are you originating new threads and cross posting?

I can understand getting wrapped up in a cross post once in a while, usually
because one neglects to notice the groups in the header.

But, starting a new thread and purposely cross posting it is basically
giving everyone here the finger.

Is *that* what you intended?

Got any nice detailed photos of your new boat you can post?

Yup. I can .... but I won't.

Let's talk about boats.

What do you think about secondary control stations located in the cockpit
area?
Do you find them useful, Harry?

I found the cockpit control station very useful on my 25' Parker when
docking and considerably less useful but still usable when underway
ahead. I can say a lot more about that subject and how they work on
different boats, but...I won't.

As soon as you post some nice detailed photos of your new boat.
Fire away.

but...I can't because I don't have a clue.



Classy as always, d.f.

Plan to post detailed photos of that boat of yours?

I didn't think so.

I've never had a boat with a secondary control station. But I suppose
that's ok, too.

I've never owned a boat with secondary controls other than upper/lower
helm stations but you see quite a few serious fishing boats with
controls in the cockpit. I'm guessing that they find it useful for
backing down on a large fish when there are only a couple of guys on
board. There are also some motor yachts which have very poor
visibility aft and I would certainly want a second set of controls for
backing into a slip.

Regarding our friend HK, I think we both know that he has *no*
interest in discussing boats other than his own. There is plenty of
evidence to support that conclusion.

The Navigator we had was a perfect candidate for another set of controls.
In fact, if I had kept it and did more traveling in it, I probably would
have had a set installed on the rear of the flybridge .... on the section
that overhung the cockpit. I had absolutely no visibility of the back of
the boat from the upper station.

I wouldn't bother with a helm. I'd just have controls for the
transmissions and engine throttles.

Yes, that all you really need, and all that you see on sportfishing
boats with dual controls in the cockpit.
