You never know. He seems to be in the process of liquidating his
assets. The LT boat will probably be offered up soon.


If you are referring to me, you're, as usual, wrong. I'm merely
clearing out some of the old for some of the new. I'm not a pack rat.
I always sell my desktop computers after a year or two.

As for boats, at least I would have a couple to sell, if I were so
inclined. You are boatless.

As a point of information, I am indeed looking at a new boat, and if
I decide to go ahead, I would be selling the other boats, but for the
canoe.

I'm sure if you pooled your resources with some of the other "done
nothing in life" types here, you'd have enough to buy a new rubber
ducky, eh?



You were doing so well up to your last sentence, where you completely
disintegrated into a puddle of poo. Sad to see that happening.


Ahhh...your Navy pension provides enough so that you could buy your own
rubber ducky? Good for you.

You're still in the poo puddle. Relax. Take a deep breath, and try again.

Prices on imaginary boats are all over the place this year. Bargain
hard and keep looking for the right one. It's out there, limited
only by your, errrr, imagination. :-)



Indeed, there are many trawlers and pseudotrawlers like yours on the
market, but...they make really ungainly planters.

On drugs, eh?

On another note, I'm sure an experienced Iowa lake boater would have
an easy time of it out on the Atlantic off the coast of Maine. For
about five minutes. Then...they'd be searching for your body.

What part of send some guys out on shares didn't you read, dip****.
Lobster, or any other, commercial fishing is far too much work.

Casady


I hate to be the one that breaks this to you, but offshore lobstering
isn't like offshore swordfishing. Most lobster fishermen own and run
their own boats, or, if they own a small fleet, the other others are run
by relatives or close friends. Further, these smaller commercial fishing
craft sent out entirely on "shares" typically are owned by experience
lobstermen.

It's a bit out of the experience realm of an Iowa boater. Perhaps you
should consider running for the governor's mansion in Alaska, where you
apparently don't need to know anything.

I'm not an expert on this, but aren't you letting your sentences run on
a bit? Also your punctuation stinks.

Yup, but he's an expert lobster man. Hell, he owns his own boat, right? He
compares lobstering to swordfishing. Like comparing something to squeezing
smelly pustules. He's expert at all of them.

2 grand aluminum's are at a premium, unless it is really thin aluminum.
There was a rash of stolen northwest alumium jetboats this year. Scrap
value of $4k

Interesting you mention that - it had been happening around here -
aluminum boats stolen (if they were portable) and scrapped.

Not so much anymore, but for a while there, even the aluminum canoes
up at the Y camp were stored inside instead of just on the beach.
