David Pascoe, Our Champion

[Passages]

He's reading our minds - or maybe our threads...

You've got that right. Hey, you and I have to get together so I can show you what is available to us for the rendezvous.

Give me a shout one of these weekends and I'll show you the ropes.

So following his formula, 1-engine, etc., just plunk down a cool $1+ mill for a Nordhaven...problemo solved...now about that $mill.....

I've always enjoyed reading Pascoe's writings and have always chuckled at how he would crap all over SeaRay and Carver. Well, he didn't let me down on this article - he sugar coated nothing, as usual.

However, after reading this article, I felt a little crapped on myself which is odd since I don't usually let "belittling women" get to me. I was shocked that he actually put his views of women on boats to ink on paper.

He writes, "That means that a lot of ladies that came aboard only because they were attracted to the luxury status, won’t be coming back after the first trip. Some will demand an immediate turn-around well prior to ETA (been there, done that). And that will include a lot of wives, if not mistresses. They become like kids, Baby-cakes, how much longer?"

Gee, and we're gold-diggers, too?

I guess he hasn't met the ladies on this forum who proudly own an old Hatteras. And I'm not the only female who LOVES the smell of diesel! 'Nuff said.

PS: I believe he DOES read this forum regularly. When reading some of his other entries on his blog, I know he's responding to what's been said here and to whom he's actually speaking here. LOL

I think he qualified the statement sufficiently. My wife could be included except for the gold-digger aspect. She never would have married me if she was really a gold-digger.

After reading this one, yeah.

Yeah well Ang, you're rare.

In a good way.

I was speaking to Dr Jim the other day about a Hatt in the Miami area that I may be interested in. I was wondering out loud, who in Miami could I possibly ask to lay eyes on this boat prior to traveling myself to see it. Is there anyone on the forum in the Miami area who's judgement on a boat's condition I would think would most be in line with my own.....(we have a lot of talented members)

Angela. Dr Jim agreed.

I have since decided not to ask or impose on Angela's good nature, as I am flying in myself to take a look.

Ang, you want to meet me and we can look it over together?

[Angela]

Gee, Eric...why didn't you just ask? Just a little over a week ago, Pascal was still in town and Ed was still here. All three of us would have been happy to check out a Hatt for ya and report back!

But, now that you're coming to town, I'd love to go have a look with you. Let me know when.

[34Hatt]

Yeah well Ang, you're rare.

In a good way.

I second that and She even has good taste in Beer's!!!!

Seems the "good people" on the Boat/US chat room have a different opinion of his article..... Worth you reading their replies... :}
