If I sell my current boats, I'm looking at a couple of 30-32
footers, one a "name brand," and the other built over on the
Eastern Shore. After many years, I've decided that is the optimum
size for what I want to do on the water, especially since I'm
usually the only person aboard with boat-handling skills, and
larger boats typically require at least one additional crew member
willing to learn line-handling. Most of my fishing buddies feel at
the top of their form if they can get into the boat without
falling off the dock.
We know what you are looking to get for the Parker.

How much for the 36 footer? What is she equipped with?
crickets
Yep.

http://tinyurl.com/4ukg4
Are you under the delusion I read all of your posts here? Is Dumbo
Dan?

The answers: Under $500,000 and everything.




You provided exact details on what was on your 25 footer yet details of
what is on the more luxurious 36 footer is a big secret.

Go figure.

Happy New Year Harry.
No, I didn't provide "exact details." I provided general details. Exact
details would have been sigificantly more "exact."

Our Parker is a factory production boat. Its particulars are available
on-line at the manufacturer's site. We have some options and I've added
a few. That's all there is to that song.

Why would you care about the price or options on either boat. You're not
a prospective purchaser. I don't recall asking you about the financial
transactions or complete equipment lists relating to your boat.

You did not have to. A full web page with pictures and description was
listed on the net. In fact, you used that source to find out my full
name and phone number. Remember?

Regardless Harry, here is a detailed listing of what was on our 32 footer
when we sold it:





SPECS
· Twin 5.7L 260 hp Merc with Bravo 2 outdrives

· LOA 34'9"

· Beam 11'0"

· Dry weight 10,800 lbs



Amazing...a 34-foot, twin engine boat whose dry weight is only 4000 pounds
more than my 25-footer. High tech materials?

I guess so. It was a well built boat, one that took on some pretty nasty
seas on Lake Erie without a problem.

We were in Leamington, Canada with friend of ours who have a 26 foot Lyman.
They absolutely had to leave and the Lake was very nasty. We did not want
to leave with the Lake conditions as they were but would not let our friends
travel back alone. We ended up leading the way to calm the water for them.
Even so, waves were at time coming over their windshield.

Yep, it was a well built boat.

So tell us about your 36 footer you have for sale.

JohnH,

A 100 hrs a year does not seem like many hours, especially one used for
fishing. If someone used the boat from May to October that is only 4 hrs a
week.

If someone had "a lot less" hours on their boat, I would be concerned that
the lack of use could actually be more detrimental to a outboard engine,
than one that is used on a regular basis.

Unless the boat was "fogged" after each use, a boat sitting idle can have
more problems than a well maintained boat that is used regularly.

I would think most people with a $70,000 boat would use the boat at least
100 hrs a year.

A lot in terms of what, typical lifespan in hours? Depends. If they were
careful "Harry" hours, no. If they were 400 hours on the firewall, well,
yes, that would be a lot.

I'm not your typical outboarder, though. I watch the tach and the fuel
flow meter, not the speedometer.


So how many hours are on the engine?

JohnH,

Why would anyone buy a boat from anyone but Harry? Since only Harry's boats
have "Harry" hours on it. With the cost of fuel, I doubt if many people run
an outboard at WOT. If I was buying a used boat, I would ask for a test
run, and ask the current owner to helm the boat. You can quickly see how he
uses his boat. If his natural instinct is to keep the boat WOT, I would
walk away. If you see the owner brings the boat up to plane and then easily
adjusts the throttle to run at a comfortable cruise, it is reasonable to
expect that is the way he used his boat.

I still maintain that a boat that is used infrequently can have more
problems that a boat that is used on a regular basis, is well maintained
and the owner follows the manufacturers maintenance schedule. People fog
the engine so the internal engine does not have problems with rust. If the
boat is not used frequently during the season, that can be just as
detrimental as a boat that is not fogged during the off season.

This discussion does bring up a great on topic discussion. If you were
buying a used boat and the owner was being coy or secretive about his
engine hours would you consider buying this boat? I would be concerned
that either the engine has more than the average hours, and the cost of the
boat/engine is overpriced for the hours used or the boat has sat idle for
extended periods, which for me would be a major concern.

Yep, you are indeed ashamed of letting everyone know how infrequent you used

So how about some details on your 36 footer you are selling? Perhaps
someone here may be interested.

Around here, 50-100 hrs a season seems to be the norm. People tend do
do short runs and then hang out all day, rather than constantly cruise.
The PIB trips do add up the hours though. :-)

posters. You're free to draw whatever erroneous conclusions make you
happy, Jim. I'm *still* not going to tell you.



So how about some details on your 36 footer you are selling? Perhaps
someone here may be interested.

Yes, I'm sure there are those who are interested in "some details." Not to
worry, there is no shortage of potential buyers in the Bay area. What few
examples of Lincoln hull designs there are around here are snapped up
quickly on the resale market. In fact, there are a couple of guys in the
Solomons marina scene here who expressed interest last season.


Makes perfect sense to list some details about your 25 foot boat here but
not your 36 foot boat when you claim both are for sale. Eh Harry?

If I sell my current boats, I'm looking at a couple of 30-32
footers, one a "name brand," and the other built over on the
Eastern Shore. After many years, I've decided that is the optimum
size for what I want to do on the water, especially since I'm
usually the only person aboard with boat-handling skills, and
larger boats typically require at least one additional crew member
willing to learn line-handling. Most of my fishing buddies feel at
the top of their form if they can get into the boat without
falling off the dock.
We know what you are looking to get for the Parker.

How much for the 36 footer? What is she equipped with?
crickets
Yep.

Are you under the delusion I read all of your posts here? Is Dumbo
Dan?

The answers: Under $500,000 and everything.




You provided exact details on what was on your 25 footer yet details of
what is on the more luxurious 36 footer is a big secret.

Go figure.

Happy New Year Harry.
No, I didn't provide "exact details." I provided general details. Exact
details would have been sigificantly more "exact."

Our Parker is a factory production boat. Its particulars are available
on-line at the manufacturer's site. We have some options and I've added
a few. That's all there is to that song.

Why would you care about the price or options on either boat. You're not
a prospective purchaser. I don't recall asking you about the financial
transactions or complete equipment lists relating to your boat.

You did not have to. A full web page with pictures and description was
listed on the net. In fact, you used that source to find out my full
name and phone number. Remember?

Regardless Harry, here is a detailed listing of what was on our 32 footer
when we sold it:





SPECS
· Twin 5.7L 260 hp Merc with Bravo 2 outdrives

· LOA 34'9"

· Beam 11'0"

· Dry weight 10,800 lbs



Amazing...a 34-foot, twin engine boat whose dry weight is only 4000 pounds
more than my 25-footer. High tech materials?


You actually stepped in it again Harry. The weight/foot of my 32 foot boat
is still far greater than your 25 footer......65 1/2 pounds/foot to be
exact.

Tee-hee. ;-)
