    Fishing boat...

    Those here who may prefer their fish freshly caught might want to make a bid on this...The reserve price is said to be drastically reduced from the sticker price billed to the original owner......Ben

    I think you need one of them Ben---kind of an accessory to your new Dodge. I bet you could troll some babes with that rig

    Not for me...The port side Yanmar diesel is missing parts, and I'd have to furnish my own armament since it was de-milled...And even then since I would have my hands full at the helm, where am I going to find a crew of six girls who can furnish their own camo bikinis just like that...No, one of you younger guys can have that fun......Ben

    Boy----do I have to help you with everything?

    With the port engine not working you are good to run starboard circles---thus no need for port side armament. As for the bikinis---no need---give em all a pair of your extra speedos

    Billy Rightwing would be happy turning only to starboard...I get dizzy if I'm not in the middle of the road...I donated all my speedos to the Salvation Army when I signed up at the nudist resort......Ben

    I think you guys are one babe short. With the extra one Ben could sit and relax with his Diet Dr Pepper.

    What kind of boat is that where you are holding her captive?

    If you are asking me, thats my boat I had on Lake Powell for about 8 years. Had to sell it when my career took a curve ball on me....

    26' Maxum cruiser. It was a nice boat . we really enjoyed it.

    Nice boat! I would not have expect so much headroom from looking at it in the water.

    That was my number one criteria when i decided to step up to a cruiser. I had to be able to stand up in the galley. I'm 6'4" and had about an inch to spare

    The aft cabin was tight so i never slept in it. It was comfortable enough to spend a week on the lake.

    Next boat will be a trawler. We want to do the great loop for a couple years. Then it's on to a blow boat in the islands.
