36. I call my boat my mistress.
I tell my wife, I can't afford a mistress because I've got a boat. :)

Look, in the stock photo, it even comes with portly Republican fishmermen.

48. And as I said to LynneSin...
I also have an ATV and I like to shoot guns.

I should just stop my charade right now. Man, I had all you DUers fooled. I even went to a protest with you guys. LynneSin was so fooled when she met me in NYC, that she thought I was actually a liberal.

14. She was docked here in LA last May.
I wasn't able to get to San Pedro to see her.

But it was really cool because as she set sail out by Long Beach, the orginal Queen Mary sounded her horn and the QM2 would respond.

13. I used to have a mini bike when I was a kid.
We used to go out every weekend and ride. Trails, hills .... it was a blast.

One the butchest things I ever did when I was young.

43. A friend of my stepdad gave me mine.
He knew I liked it, so when he moved he just gave it to me. There's tons of woods by me, so I take it out fairly often.

9. My idea of cool "on the water" fun


Nothing like 165 horses and roughly 70 mph. At that speed, wakejumping...not a good idea. Sticking the landing on an uneven surface ain't the easiest thing.

12. Hopefully, my stepdad is buying two of those for next summer.
If I'm going to have a stepdad, I might as well have one who likes big expensive toys (and lets me use them).

I mean the noise. Do they HAVE to be that loud?

17. They're annoying when people use them on lakes, but they don't seem
that loud in open water.

18. I have the prettiest boat of all, but I don't know how to post a pic.
I have a 34 foot Mainship Trawler, but I have no idea how to post a picture of it. I'm gonna go look for pictures elsewhere on the internets. Should be some in one of the pipes somewhere.

27. Ours are "up in CT."
My stepdad inherited a cabin up there, right on a cove. It's really nice. Very, very quiet, at least until we come along and start shooting off fireworks and guns. There's not many neighbors though and they all come out for our firework displays, so it's not a big deal.

28. But, but, but, Fountains are "compensation" boats.
Edited on Wed Sep-06-06 04:00 PM by patcox2
You know!

Though at least thats a fishing version.

Those narrow deep V-hulls, they may make the chop more tolerable, but your not gonna want to be out on a day that bad anyway, whereas they roll in a nasty way when you are trolling or drifting, which you will be doing, and they do it even on a nice day.

I know I wouldn't be trying to catch some stripers with that thing.

Does it work?

Is it a catch and release type thing?

42. Hey, I said "stripers," as in striped bass.
You're the one with the dirty mind.

I was talking about this. BTW, I don't know this guy, I just stole his pic off the internet.

This one isn't ours -- I don't have a good picture of it under sail -- but it's just like it. With marina fuel at $4/gal., sails are nice to have.

like the one in the Goonies best. I thought about joining the navy when I was younger just to be around ships. Decided to collect pictures of them instead.
