$IZE MATTERS

As a first-time boat owner, I decided to glean as much experience from veterans as possibile and joined a boating forum.

Boating can be expensive and I am neither RICO nor POBRE. A strong sentiment in the boating community is that if you have to ask how to save money on a boat, you are involved in the wrong leisure activity.

Who has similar reactions from snobs upon taking up a new activity(food, cars, fashion, sport, dating)?

EXAMPLE:
"If you need to consult Baja Nomad, then you really aren't cut out to endure the challenges of Baja!"

when you have your own boat you can go were and when you want. like osprey says it is a high everytime im at the wheel full speed heading out on a adventure. i like being on my buddys boat too cause then i can drink all his beer!!

Cool Pic of your boat Steve.. I noticed that if you rearrange the lettering on the side of it you could have OR BOLA.

bajadock Don Jorge makes an excellent point. Those big fancy models "eat" a lot of $$$$. Check with the local fisherman.

i love "boat talk"

boat owners never have a boat big enough or one that has enough power...
there's always a bigger fish...

get a boat you can tow from place to place
if you get one that needs to be docked at a marina your adventures are limited to your immediate area...boring
a trailer boat can go everywhere

get alot of walking around room....
you never "NEED" to walk around until you're on the water...

remember a BIG boat like 4baja's needs a BIG truck to pull it
more fun $$$...

if women are involved (or old guys) ... get a boat with a toilet

buy a BIG expensive boat and screw the money
you WON"T be taking it with you....
have fun NOW!!!

The boat's too big to be an avatar. Think small.
btw, my shark likes the room.

A 5 gallon bucket will usually work in a pinch.

Folks, I resemble these remarks. I have a head on my boat, and let me tell you, I am happy that I don't have to "go over the side" in the middle of the Pacific night, travelling at ten knots to get to "the spot" at grey light. Over the side, mateys. Heads have their place - and the parking lot at the ramp is one of them!

head and shower work. Today's idea was wine rack addition.

Love everyone's "bigger does not equal better" comments.

Nope.

P.S. Eeeeeeewwwww.

P.P.S. We're right on the edge of TMI here.

The bigger the paycheck the bigger the boat....or ship

See picture that Bajadoc posted.

Bobby worked on that boat for over a year after Cortina and Peety bought it from Charley. The former owner of Sharkeys.

Charley swore that boat ran perfect when he sold it for 3,500 bucks. Cortina and Peety wanted some upgrades, so they hired Bobby to do the work. Cortina gave him a garage on the beach to do it in. Bobby moved onto the boat and never managed to get it going. I can only guess they got someone else to finish it before Bajadoc got it.

That is the PC version.

Here is one for you. A walk around. The only problem I see, is if you get a fish on up front, a dorado for instance, and they make their usual run around the boat, you could get tired quickly trying to keep up with him. And a LONG gaff is a must.

Doc, so you posted about having a new boat, then posted a pic of a boat that was not yours. Does the one in the picture at least look like yours? Minus the canvas. If so, it probably is the BC Special.

Yes, minnow, ...similar to my avatar's representation of females who are interested in me. Unlike my boat, the females are better looking than my avatar!

Sounds like you will get along great down there.

You're not serious, are you? If so, it's not only your Bayliner that's big, and I'm refering to the one that's above the belt line.

P<*o)))><

Now Paulina
Are you refering to above the neck or between the belt and neck

Oh oh, I think I'm in trouble

Hey Roberto,
You could have at least made your pictures the proper size, even if your " ship " is big.

Yeah, Roberto. That is one bad arse vessel.

I am always impressed when someone can post any picture on this forum.

It is time for an update Doug.

Roberto.....Roberto......Roberto.

Tell me that's a stock pic and I'll be ok.


If not, I want a ride.


Saludos!

The day I pulled that out of the water at Camp Gecko, people came from miles around to watch and shake their head.

We used the tractor.

P.S. My son, climbing the ladder, is 6'2"

That is some funny stuff guys.

About Robertos boat. A boat that big could no doubt carry a big dingy. They are usually blond. And the things that are big look like they should float.

edit: I am guessing New Port as the launch ramp in the picture.
