Interesting reading. From a psychological standpoint its interesting to read the comments. Some just have a love for boats, its the common connection of water. Others don't want to own a 300 foot yacht but find it interesting to see....thats me to. Some are jealous so slam it. Others are just...

Thanks Arctic. And yes I do realize those things, but then at least offer the big tanks as an option. Most just simply say we chose the tank size and that is all. Most i have been in the belly of have lots more room down there for an extra fuel tank, or larger main tank. So they could offer...

Mark thanks so much for your reply. I should have been clearer about my use of the term recreational fish boats. I meant more like i have owned that are faster, but poor range. Would seem to make sense to build them with the range to run out and fish a day or 2 or 3, and then run home. But they...

Thanks for the laughs and the info everyone. Apparently there is no super easy single reason....its many forces in eceect. I have wondered is all. My Dads funny answer made me laugh. "Because God wants you to be able to boat downhill sometimes for a burst of speed " lol My Dad always has...

I couldn't have said it better myself. If its not yours or a friends who gave you permission leave it alone. What next...well i didn't see anyone home so i just borrowed their house for a day or 2 while they were away..... Surprised to that instead of wondering, why you guys don't just drop...

To those worried about blowing around and blowing ahead towards their own anchor etc. So what happens when you blow or current carried over your own bouy thst marks your anchor and its under you now and tangles in your props. Best be diving in with a sharp knofe to cut yourself free ????? Its...

I don't have a bow or stern thruster on any of my current boats. But my friends yacht (not a trawler) has both and its awesome. When i buy a trawler it will have both. Even once you are docked just let both run and hold you against the dock and casually tie up, then shut down. Docking his 85...

So basically its like a Terri Clark song. The earth is a little too wound up.... I'm in agreement people and the planetare too wound up and too darn serious about many things that really don't matter. At work I am serious and in my off time i laugh lots and love adventure. Maybe one day i...

That made me laugh thanks man :thumb: Now if only i drank beer....or any alcohol at all....i don't drink anything but water, coffee, milk, and orange juice though lol

Say 6 hail marys and toss some salt over your shoulder. ......;)

I frequently fly people out to and back from yachts. It has become very common place. Did so 2 weeks ago. I'm back to get them when they call me when ready to leave their yach in the next 10 to 15 days. In a slow year I make only 12 to 20 yach landings. More each year.....now 20 to 30 or more...

The problem with speed is range is reduced to useless levels on most boats. If they put 20k gallon fuel tanks in them no problem as the range would be there. But they put tiny tanks in most boats. For ocean crossing boats I wish instead of weighting the keels they would make them fuel tanks to...

All very valid points. But if someone was older in bad shape they are not allowed on board my boat unless wearing a life jacket. My neighbor likes going with me out in the boat. But she is overweight and doesn't take care of herself and sucks at swimming. So life jacket is on before she climbs...

So the major oceans are all connected freely. But not the same level. I've always wondered how????? To my tiny brain water is self leveling. Tip a bucket half full of water and the water is still level. Dig an uneven hole and fill it with water and the water is level. So why are oceans not...

I should add i also will not live in a crowded place. I own an acreage so my neighbors are far away. My new place i bought 4 lots in a row and tore the junky houses down that were on 2 of the 4 lots....the other 2 are bare Iand.
