Ah, what more delicious breakfast to linger over of a Saturday morning
than a juicy ambiguity spitted and roasted to a turn. Any angle you
look at it from, it's done to perfection. :)
From this angle the ambiguity lies in the attribution.
See, that's the trouble ...
The trouble is obvious from any angle.

Exactly.

Hilarious. Most people having been caught making an attribution
error in a Usenet post would say, Oops, fumble fingers this
morning. But not our little Wolfie, no siree. Little Wolfie
wants to play. But I don't want to play this morning so Little
Wolfie will just have to play with himself. Come to think of it
"playing with himself" pretty well describes the bulk of what
Little Wolfie posts here. LOL !!

Laugh long......laugh hard. :)

Fair enough. If I may, beside the 17', what else is in, er, "Miller's
Navy," powerboat-wise - IIRC, it's a larger sportfish? I think, given
the above, I know the answer to this question, but do y'all sail at all?

TC,

right now, i've got a 16' gheenoe. sturdy and stable, but heavy. great
for creeks, canals, ponds, impounments, and small lakes. i took it up to
penns one year for the smallmouth float. i paddle it or use a 2.5 hp
mercury if i need a sturdier oarsman. i've done a bit of flyfishing for
bream and bass with it, and chased puppy drum in saltmarsh bays.

the 17' center console bay boat with 90 hp yamaha is for shad and rock
and bass in the rivers, puppy drum, speckled trout, flounder in the
sound and bay areas, and inshore sal****er on calm days for spanish,
blues, and false albacore.

the 25' carolina classic is for my latest madness - offshore fishing for
wahoo, tuna, dolphin, king mackeral, and...hopefully...billfish. it's
built for nc's offshore waters. nothing fancy, but very functional and i
can single hand it so i'm not dependent on crew when i want to go
offshore.

i used to own a 26' pearson sailboat back when i was a "romantic". yeah,
yeah...i know. but, it was deadly.

the boats meet my current requirements and needs for the kind of fishing
i like, and i can manage each of them by myself...um, except for the
engine repair thing.

Sounds like a well-rounded group. I still say "kicker" but hey, it's
your remuda. That Carolina Classic...or is it actually carolina
classic...sounds like a good boat for its purpose. I checked out their
website, and it's a nice looking boat, too. Down here, folks seem to be
gaga over the center console/t-top opens, even in 30-35 feet. I suspect
it is because it tends to keep women and kids off, but hell, I like a
little comfort, too.

As to latest madnesses, I'm currently tinkering with a John Allmand FBSF
that I found and added to, er, McHale's Navy ...decent boat, so far.
Good hull, incredible interior for its age, recent engine rebuilds, etc.
And it's an inboard, which I like. Plus, I got to go toy shopping for a
new bottom machine, GPS, etc. Speaking of which, I think I've tripped
over a pretty cool setup GPS, NMEA hookups, Bluechart, an older
laptop, etc. Anyone have any interest in the details?

It isn't 100% hooked-up and running on-board, but so far, it looks good
as a MUCH lower cost alternative to the "networked"/"black box" setups
offered by Garmin, Raymarine, etc. and all the non-wiring/mounting
components will be easily taken off-board. Potentially, under $1000USD
for everything: GPS with large screen charting, dual/tri-station radio,
bottom machine/sonar, etc., including a DVD/CD entertainment system and
'net access if one wished.
