I must reiterate the most important point made here. USE THE ORIENTATION THAT IS THE MOST INTUITIVE OR PLEASING TO YOU. Nothing else matters. No one elses opinion matters.

For all you Gulf Coasters, I have a book to recommend. I am reading it now. "Bayou Farewell:The Rich Life, and Tragic Death of Louisiana's Cajun Coast" by Mike Tidwell.It was written back in 2003, prior to Katrina/Rita, and the BP spill. I had heard of the erosion of the Mississippi delta, but...

JohnI'm glad I got here while the link was available. What a hoot!!! Maybe you should re-post on the Deep End. *

Likewise. From what I did see on the new site, I can't say my expectations are very high. Just locating the forum was a pain in the A--.* *

Given the kind of life Marin's dog lives, I believe we should refer to him as a "Dock Trolling Retriever".* *

Course up.

Another source of cool used commercial boats for conversion. http://www.dockstreetbrokers.com/

Prices are what they are. What's the point in worrying? As I tell my wife and my mother, "there are a billion things you could worry about happening, and it is the thing you don't worry about that will likely happen". And as Marin says, fuel costs are the least of the costs of boat ownership...

Very nice. Beats that $7,000 Recaro or Stidd!!!

Watch your back John, because when you least expect it, any one of us old farts can go nuts and tear you a new one. *

Right on Eric!! All along I have been asking myself why the only choice here is between a deflatable and a Porta Boat? There are so many other options. *

Or does the media not find it all that exciting when snails and possums do crazy stuff? How many brain surgeon snails do you know? *

That seems like a very counterintuitive attitude to me.* The important thing is what you know about running a boat, not what kind of boat it is.* I suppose they might have had a point if you ran a Cigarette racing boat or something, but given the kind of boat you run and the area you run it in I...

I like it. I may have to use it from time to time.*

It's one thing to find someone willing to trade a trawler for a fast gasser, but to find a trade scenario where the trawler or gassers are exactly what both parties want, would be impossible. Therefore, I would definitely sell your boats, and buy exactly what you want, rather than what you get...

You guys might want to try NOT backspacing. When you are done reading, posting or editing, click on either "Trawler Forum" or the Thread Title right next door, which you are currently in (those can both be found in the row just below the white text, blue backgrounded column headers). The only...

In my gut, I'd have to agree with Carey, but the bottom line is as Mike quotes, the SEALS are warriors, not killers.* My BIL was a SEAL.* Has he killed people?* He won't talk about it.* SEALS are regular guys, they just happen to be Bad A$$ very well trained guys.**Hopefully justice will prevail...

JeffRozema has built three yachts that I know of, including one about 45', and a 46' based on the oil skimmer, named "Raven". Raven belongs to good friends in Friday Harbor and is currently for sale. Asking in the high $500k range. Single engine 660 hp Cat. She will cruise 20 knots, but has been...

Will the real "Late for Dinner" please stand up. *

TOO BAD! All the pirates we treat so humanely will end up killing more of our neighbors. Absolutely no mercy from me. I'm for outta sight outta mind. Get it over with. -- Edited by Carey on Tuesday 22nd of February 2011 07:57:09 PM

You got it. It's the only answer. *

Cylindrical foam earplugs. Roll em up, stuff em in and they expand to fit. Really helps to cover up the Admirals snoring too. Let's hope she doesn't see this. My hearing loss is so bad that I won't even attend a live music event without them.
