I am sure that Renn Tolman, designer of the Tolman Skiff never
intended
his boats to be used for...........wakeboarding and I'm not even
sure they
do such things in AK where he is from. However, my son has gotten
interested in wakeboarding and believe it or not my 20 Standard
Tolman
Skiff with 90 hp Yamaha does fairly well as a tow craft.
So far, we have simply rigged a simple bridle from the stern cleats
but
now my son has assurred me that a "tower" will make her much more
useful
for wakeboarding and that I could probably make such a thing easily.
Nothing like playing on Dad's natural desire to build stuff.
So, where on a boat should the attachment point be for towing a wake
board? How high should it be?
Such an ignominous thing for such a noble craft that I intended to
be used
for exploring. Monday, I was excited over exploring the "Crooked
River"
that runs into the Ocklocknee River of N. FL but the boys looked
bored so
I gave in and we went back out of gator paradise to more open water
for
them to play.
Still, it was day on the water.

At least it sees water...think of Snotties poor rowboat.
It sits there year after year, rotting away and only used by a family
of critters as shelter.

You just had to be asinine.

Hi Swill......yes, you might call it 'the culture' of this newsgroup.

That might be your wish but I would like to see it return to a robust
boating community that one could be proud to be a part of. Too much of
Krause has rubbed off on you. That's really sad.

It's always really funny when the right-wing slimeballs act righteous
and holier than thou and then drop off yet another of their petty
insults.

Keep on keeping on, "Jim," and help assure the demise here.

You have declared it dead already.
I would like to see it rise up out of your ashes.

If that were the case, "Jim," you might consider behaving the way you
think the newsgroup ought to be, instead of behaving like every other
right-wing asshole here.

Right?


I agree with this post!

Wouldn't it be easier for uou if you told us which of Harry's posts you
disagree with?


He's not allowed to disagree with any of Harry's posts. No one is. If
you do, the childish name calling and such will ensue.
