Death threats

What do you think of posts by Caldera Boats where he claims he would enjoy killing yacht owners?

I would think he was kidding.

[Vega]

Hey, Caldera Boats, do you have any preference? I mean, regarding the killing? :p :p :p :p

[safewalrus]

From what I can make out we'd have no problems as long as we stay at sea! The numpty can't read plans and thus cannot build a vessel sufficient to get out to us!:p

[safewalrus]

Is that with or without french fries?:D

[wdnboatbuilder]

I thought this was a fforum to discuss boat building and design. I have known a builder who had some trouble working cuz he fought so much as a kd, young man but other than that all the rest of the builders/ Designers are all really super guys. So why you would threaten a fellow boat nut confuses me. And what about that guy who is looking for information aggrssivly and demanding answers what's up with that?

I think all the local yacht owners in his area should be given notice of his interests, if not his intent. The idea of an angry mob outside his 42 year old doublewide makes me smile.

I'm Humored

I don't know about kidding. There are the types like Charles Manson that do not kid. Also, he is posting all this in anonimity. Even though he claims to be a boat builder and run a business, there is no link to a website or an address. That is rather strange for a businessman.

Gonzo, you need to lighten up a little man.

In the tradition of the high seas there has always been outlaws and pirates. Some of the best sailors in history were the Vikings. To me, like a lot of others it has always been alluring. That doesn't mean I would actually do it...but is sure is fun to fantasize.
The truth of the matter is that there is a dark side of boating. There are drug runners, smugglers, pirates and thieves who call the oceans home. The seas are a dangerous place, if you can't cope with that, stay in the harbor.

I'm sorry you feel threatened by my stories, but this is a public forum and some people enjoy such entertainment.
;)

Believe it or not, my 'bad' attitude gets me more work than I can handle. I am one of the next generation of boat builders/designers. The tattooed, pierced, adrenaline junkie, f--K the world generation X-ers who have been pushing anything and everything to the limit.
The "X" in Caldera BoatworX stands for eXtreme.
It is just a natural progression from snowboards, skateboards, muscle cars, hotrods, motorcycles and street choppers into the boat realm. I would be much rather be know as the 'Jessie James' of boats rather than a 'Herreshoff' or a 'Chapelle'.

If your not pushing life to the edge, your not living.
:p

[wdnboatbuilder]

I'll just say I'll call you waco. Jessie James had a bit more class. Gonzo people who talk usually have no action. just want to stand out. now that he has stood out good luck waco.

[Caldera Boats]

OK! enough bickering and personal insults. Let's get back to talking about BOATS!!! That is the reason we are all here.....

[safewalrus]

Caldera Darlink can't youse take the insults - remember who started this insult shit! Remember your living on the EDGE, you wanna do that you have to do it full time (and wear a parachute)

[Caldera Boats]

:p Just Trying to get back back to the subject of boats, but if it's the BS you want, count me in!!!

[safewalrus]

Well it's more fun than boring old boats (that'll get the buggers going Caldera, we should have some fun now! See I actually mentioned "boats" here .....Twice;)

[wdnboatbuilder]

incredible CAldera you just don't know when to quit. May I ask your age?

[gonzo]

By the way, Caldera Boats: where do you build boats? You don't give an physical or web address. Can you post those so we can see if we are talking out of place or you are just running your mouth?

[PAR]

I'll bet Caldera is just like all the rest of the "X" generation. They buy a $10,000 pre-built 120 cubic inch Evo, a $5,000 pre-built 5 speed trany, a $3,000 pre-built frame, a West Coast Choppers stock tank (bang a few creases into it so it's custom looking) open up the Custom Chrome catalog (I'm still a CC dealer by the way, having owned an outlaw shop some years ago) and pick out some controls, wheels, tires, oil tank, etc. Then they pay some one to squirt a pretty paint job, some else to powder coat and chrome, maybe they'll make a bracket to hang a key fob off of and they've built a chopper. Yea, that's the "X" way of "building" things.

He probably bolts aftermarket throttle bodies on pocket rockets and thinks he's a boat builder. This is the same generation that takes a $3,000 Celica, drops 40 grand into it and calls it a muscle car. Sorry, you could skip paying for all the wrenching and find a used Viper or Vette for that kind of money and actually have a real muscle car. But they are terribly good at thumb muscle control playing their X Box all day. These are the ones we read about with an M16 and scope on top of a water tower, pissed that yet another girl friend has walked out on them.

[safewalrus]

Hey guys this Caldera has got to be something - when even the Yanks take the piss you got to be onto a loser somewhere!

A Happy "peaceful" New Year to ye

[Caldera Boats]

Yeh, I admit it. I did ride a chopper built by 'BMC Choppers' with a whole bunch of aftermarket bolt-on performance crap, but I sold it after I realized it was nothing more than a fashion statement. A whole bunch of rugged individualists all dressed the same. LOL :cool:
That is why I love single handed sailing, it is perfect for an anti-social, recluse who could give a rats ass about the rest of the world. It is kinda the same freedom as being in-the-wind on a bike, but MUCH better. I even named my little 10 foot tender "Prospect" cuz it's used to do a the running around getting beer and groceries and such.
"Prospect! go get me a beer!" LOL

I outta here to go loft a bulkhead and start drinking beer!:D

Happy Fricking New Year! :p

So where would he be any different than the present bunch of affluent boomer clowns who throw down 10's of 1000's of $ on a scooter and ride around calling themselves "bikers"? We inadvertently spent a weekend in Daytona not knowing it was "Bike Week". The paper had an article, asking bikers various questions, one was "How come so few of you actually ride here and instead tow your bikes down in trailers?" The answers were a tossup between the fear of falling asleep while riding and the pain of hemoroids. My image of that bunch is pegged to the shirtless guy in the supermarket in his black leather chaps over bl pants with his bl vest and bl boots, festooned with chrome chains and snaps, a chrome chain connecting his bl wallet to his bl belt, an American flag doo-rag on his head, his bl gloved hands holding two brands of strawberry yogurt, his brain behind black shades comparing ingredients and trying to decide which was the better bargain. So, you owned an "outlaw" shop. Are these the kind of phoney BS spouting dorks you dealt with, or did you deal with real bikers, the kind that stink, the crude, rude, nasty, backstabbing pricks, the drug dealing, immoral thieves who actually practice mayhem instead of just idly BSing about it in a boating forum as Caldera did ? Seeing as how you'd bet that Caldera "is just like all the rest of the X generation", I'll bet that if you were making some money off him, you wouldn't be saying anything.
So you think it's gen x'ers who sit on watertowers killing innocent people? The only x'er I can think of that did that was ex-Marine Lance Corporal Charlie Whitman, the boomer who hid in the tower in Austin,Texas and killed 16, including his wife and mother, and wounded 33.
If any of you x'ers in the service in Iraq are reading this, you should come back here to play your X Boxes and make key fob brackets, it's a lot safer, but please, please, please stay away from the water towers. Sam

[gonzo]

Ok Caldera Boats, that answers my question. You don't build boats and your claims are just hot air. Obviously there is no shop, or boat plans, or any of the other fantasies.

[Caldera Boats]

:rolleyes: Damn! Gonzo are you high strung or what?
If you weren’t so far away I would invite you over to the shop for a beer and you could criticize the bulkhead I lofted and built today. I could of used some 'hot air' to get the epoxy to kick. LOL :D

[Jeff]

Would always enjoy seeing photos of the boats you are building; reading jokes about killing yachters is probably not the way I'd like to start off the new year either, so I'm closing this thread.

As you say, "Let's get back to talking about BOATS!!!"
