RE: Let me help you sell your boat!!!

Rick,
That makes less sense than what FF said. Any fool can determine that what FF is saying is that all the latest trinkets and new generation stuff won't make up for good seamanship.
What could be said is that old and outdated equipment combined w good seamanship can be better than an assembledge of new state of the art stuff. Standing watch is better than adjusting the range on your GPS anchor drag feature. Point is that you NEED good seamanship but you don't NEED the lasest do-dads. I wouldn't want to go through Rocky Pass W of Petersburg without GPS but I could. My dad did it many times long before GPS.
FF expresses himself strangely sometimes but here I thing he makes a good point and your responses Marin and Rick are a bit crude and rude and thoughtless.
