I was fishing on the CT River the other night and saw two 21 footers
just like your boat Harry. One with a big 2 stroke, one a 4. Both
coming in at evening, right after another. They did seem to sit heavy
in the water, moving nicely through the light chop before sunset. They
even had low transoms! Still could give a little "life" to the lines
on the boat, someone should tell Parker that it is ok to look nice
too! Just a couple of inches of um, pride in the bow would look
great, and that square ass, oh well, still look like a good tool for
the sound and beyond, even if it does not photograph well :O

I'm not sure what you mean by giving a "little life" to the lines. The
boats are exactly what they look like...center console fishing boats. I'll
take a couple of photos of the bow for you and maybe you can tell me what
you have in mind, okay? :}

IMO, that's the problem with some of these boats .... no distinguishing
lines. From a distance they pretty much look the same. Instead of
designing in some uniqueness, some manufacturers are content with putting
their name or logo in big letters on the side. (Parker, Robolo, etc.)

Ahh, is that it? Well, I can tell a Parker with or without its
decals...they look pretty distinguished to me. I believe the 2100CC I
have has virtually the same hull it had 15 years ago. The "insides" are
a little different. Why change what works?- Hide quoted text -

Well the oblivious answer it or course, "because he can" !! What would
be the problem with smoothing the lines a little? You don't have to
change the interior fit, or even the wet area of the hull, but a
little "smile" in some of the lines would bring it into the 21st
century
You know I don't mind square boats, my first was a Phil Bolger scow,
talk about square. Anyway, his boats were designed within the
constraints of the materials to be used, as was the case with most
boats over the last hundred years or so. But now with molded and
injected boats, designers can ealily "tweak" without adding much if
anything to the manufacturing, and plenty to the look of the boat. So,
the answer to your question as to why change what works, like the dog
licking... well, you know...
