Mike- I'm afraid the gene pool has deteriorated and found it's way into our corporate structure as well as the consumers of America. The outboard engine of yesterday made sense both practically as well as economically. They got most of us into fishing by virtue of their simplicity and affordability. Every one of us owned one at some time or another.
Today, if I sold my B-31 Sportsfisherman, I'd be able to buy a 20 ft center console with a pair of outboards with the money. I'd be colder, wetter, have less room, be less safe, and have a non-classic. That's going backwards as far as I'm concerned, but as I look around, that's what's all around me.
By virtue of Captain Pat's website, I have the comfort of being in communication with like minded people. Thank God! It's like a breath of fresh air in a room full of farting steers. I still can't understand why anyone would choose a bubbleboat or an overpowered center console when for the same money they could have a B-31. Walter
