So Far This Site Has,

[LuckyLady]

Been a really good source of fishing and hunting coversation for me. Don't get around the "web" much, don't feel I need to just from being on here. There are some really good folk's on here, some I'm still hoping to meet up with one of these day's. Some clown's that I'd like to meet too, I guess. I will say this with 100% certainty, the folk's that I have started conversation with and have actually met and spent time with because of this site has been great. Some are just casual "hey how ya doin", other's I have spent quite abit of time with fishing. Those relationship's are one's that I plan on hanging in there with. For all of that, Thank You SFC and the one's that make it possible. Frank, SeaPower

What he said ! I couldn't say it better myself!

You are just the right guy to buy one of the diesel World Cat's.

Lisa at TCM will bend over to sell you one, as Steve helps with the sale by using his infamous black spray paint to fix the hull damage they secretely caused. Hey, but it only leaks slowly and the bilge pumps are up front anyway.

Whoooeeee! This is gonna be a hopin good year for the good ol' folks at TCM and WC! Yes sir, nothing will be spared! Every sale is an Arse in the hole!

Marc, I know where you can get a great deal on a diesel 27'HTS down in San Diego. I could call my buddy Joe that owns it? Could fly my other good buddy Bernie out from MHC to survey it for ya. Man, I love helping buddies find the boat of their dreams

I am sooooo thankful for this site and all my good friends here.

There may be a thread or two somewhere on sfc with one or 2 comments from members, but not really sure if anyone has an opinion on WC boats???

So Far this site Has:

Allowed me a glimpse into peoples lives I may never have a chance to meet. I've learned from great fishermen and pioneers of the industry. Roddy Hayes, Fred Archer, Gottafly Lee, Josh Temple, Mark Diblasio, Wound Up James, Bill Pino. Pro's that freely give up some time to us to learn about what they do.

The membership contribution is outstanding I feel like i have watched the Merry Marlin crew grow up right on a computer screen. This happens with so many good people on here.

The site gives me a chance to blow off steam about fisheries management and find out what others think and whats going on.

The site allows the consumers as Admin says to have a voice, so we are no longer spoon fed what big companies want us to eat like the magazines do. The good and the bad are out there for everyone to see. Everyone is allowed to express their opinions or god and bad experiences (some go on and on forever until you no longer open the threads but hey).

One thing is people take it to seriously at times and can get too big for their own good, the old dish it but can't take it applies. I don't get into mind battles on here cause i would lose.

Tournament Coverage is the best, I love watching thrill of victory and Agony of defeat moments on during the tournaments.

Thanks To John, Jer, Mary and the SportFishStaff for doing what you do. To the community you guys and gals rock

+1
that, in a nutshell is exactly what makes this site so great!

I cant figure out which boat to buy, either the worldcat diesel (great bargain)or there is a new boat with 3 outboards that is also a "GREAT DEAL".Its called the "butthead 28" revolutionary design,the outboards are mounted on the front of the boat.The salesman said its great in a following sea with the motors on the front. The surveyor said the nose stays down no tabs needed. The secretary in the office says its a great boat. It could be a lil tricky to tow but they promiss me a perfect trailer built for a front powered "butthead 28". No one has ever had any experience with the manufacturer "Butthead" or thier front end powered express but what the hell the secretary,salesman,surveyor all like it must be the deal.

I read about this new boat that is diffrerent like the one you describe except the outboards are mounted port and starboard like outriggers, halfway between bow and stern, in "pockets" (Midship). This not only adds lateral stability, but handles great in a beam sea, head sea, and a following sea. You also can backdown on a school of tuna broadside! What a great idea! Since this new design gives more room on the stern, they designed the engines to run on methane gas. All you have to do is mount a couple of "Honey Buckets" on the back swim deck and syphon the methane off. The motion of the ocean keeps the bucket stirred so the methane keeps flowing. If your bucket runs low the waste management companies will refill them for free!!! Besides, if you need to crap while fishing, just open the door and bingo....more methane fuel!

It also is a 30' x 12' beam "Cat" design, and wouldn't you know it....it's called "WorldCrap Cat Boats", but they are considering changing the name to "PowerCrap Group", but either way they look good and run like crap!

My grandmother likes the "run on crap" design and says "nothin like a crapper near the snapper"! She said "I can catch a haliBUTT while wiping my BUTT". Also if you drink too much the night before, no more puke in the boat!This will earn the worthless "NMMA Innovative Product of the Year" award. What a great idea!

The honey buckets can also act as a liferaft or a simple floatation device should the boat run like my last one.

"Nothing performs like a WORLDCRAP! We stand behind our product! One of only three that have the coveted NMMA Certification! Our customers are our primary concern! Excellence, Quality construction, Performance"! These are all hallmark statements made by the President of WORLDCRAP/POWERCRAP GROUP boat manufacturer. They really know how to make crap look good and it shows in their new 30' "Sidewinder Cat Crap" boat design.

The salesman said with the boat purchase he would throw in a nifty sun visor, a key chain, some urinal bisquits, and a 6 pack of "Charmin" toilet paper to get the turd rolling. Oh, I forgot to tell you that the name of my new boat is....."Turd". He also said if I can find a buddy to buy a new WORLDCRAP boat with me he would throw in a Volvo D-3 engine that could be hooked up as a generator.....these BTW came out of the old 270 HTS's and SX's so he's not sure if they will actually run as intended, but they have low hours.

So there you go Marc, we could go in together, get new boats and have a piece of WC diesel history on board, and get back to the reason we bought boats....to go fishing. How's that sound??? Nothin like sharing crap between friends!

Man it's good to have friends!

Lots of great people on this site Frank, more information than most combined....I frequent 2 sights, the other one s just a little more local to me...but hands down the information available and the world wide coverage of SFC is the best. There are a few people on here that I am looking forward to catching up with....I would love to meet up with ACEHOLE....aka captain skeletor when I head down to myrtle beach to see some family in the spring....Capt Lee.....would love to share a cup of coffee with that guy and shoot he breeze.....Getting down to slayerville to see the Buffington is on the short list as well.......plenty of characters around to keep things interesting but most everyone shares some sort of solid content and that is what makes SFC what it is......the only nasty PM's I got were from Mother Mary......but they were nasty in a good way

WOW.......Im blushin! Never had anybody who actually wanted to meet me, WELL THERE WAS THAT GIRL ON ONE OF THOSE 800 LINES but I didnt agree with forwarding her money for a plane ticket. You better look me up when you get here, I might get a chance to show you what a SLOB WAHOO looks like.

And FRANK, nice thread...... Its just gonna get better and better. Thats what happens when you throw the BUMS out and do a little house cleaning. ME......I LOVE SPORTFISHERMAN.COM!! Keep up the good work guys!! All the best in 2011!!
