That *is* nice, and reasonably priced.
400+ engine hours.
Is that a lot for that Yamaha four stroke? How many are on
yours?

A lot less.
Would you consider 400 hours a lot for that Yamaha 4-stroke?

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?
Less than 400.

Why do you want to know? You're not a potential purchaser. It's not
your business.

A legitimate buyer will be allowed to see the service records.

What's the big secret Harry? Why are you ashamed of telling us how
many hours you put on the engine?
It's no secret. It's simply none of your business.

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

No offense, but one of the charming aspects of this newsgroup is the
number of simpies who believe they have some sort of "power" over other
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?

I've listed "some details" of both boats here from time to time. Sorry,
but with your price of admission, that's all you get.

Now, you should move on, because you are going to get nowhere on your
present course of action. You're not in charge.


How much did you have to pay for winterization of your 36 footer and where
is it stored?

Harry,

I have to agree with you on this one. I think you should be able to provide
as much or as little information as you feel comfortable doing. If you do
not feel comfortable discussing how often you use your boat or the number of
hours on your boat, you should not do it. I have trouble understanding why
this information should be secret, but that is your prerogative. I just
know I would never buy a boat from anyone who was not upfront with the
number of hours on the engine.

I for one, follow the advice of Internet Security Experts who recommend no
one provide any personal information in public newsgroups, and for that
reason I do keep my personal information (i.e. Name, telephone number,
social security number etc) off of rec.boats. I would actually recommend
anyone who uses their real name in change it to a handle. It would be too
easy for someone to use the internet to harass someone or cause them
financial or personal harm.

Since you don't want to discuss the number of hours on your boat engine
(which I would not consider personal info), I am sure you can understand why
some people prefer not to publish personal information in a public NG.

JimH seems awfully interested in your boats. Maybe he's thinking of
making an offer one one or the other.
What other reason would he have for his incessant questioning?

Just out of curiosity is that a Kodiak pump? How many hours on the pump?

Yes, Kodiak. Original stainless impellers. I have touched up the edges a
couple of times, and have replaced the cutlass bearings and seals a couple
of times. I have about 1600 hours on the boat. Kodiak 3 stage. I did have
the pump gone through when I swapped motors this year (actually last year)
and he shimed the impellers, as he said that a lot of the Kodiaks had the
wrong spacing to the stators. Phil Taylor of Jetstream Concepts in Yuba
City, CA did the work. I have changed the thrust bearing twice.

$55K with twin 200's

D'oh. Older boats and not the same model. Hardly "equivalent."

Understood. I never said equivalent - these are alternatives for the
guy shopping for a Parker.

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

· Deadrise 17 degrees

· Fuel Capacity 186 US gallons

Is that right? 186 gallons? That seems awfully small for a boat that
size with twin gas engines.

You actually stepped in it again Harry. The weight/foot of my 32 foot boat

Nice theory, but the beam is 18" wider.

OK. Taking total square foot (assuming a full beam along the entire length
of the boat) mine is still about 20% heavier/ft2.

An absolutely idiotic, simple-minded comparison for any number of reasons,
not the least of which is the fact that that old bubble boat of
yours had about 2600 pounds tied up in engines.

Nice try. Take off 1300 pounds and the boat is still heavier/ft2 than your
Parker.
