Oh the first part makes perfect sense, as my boat, though a foot shorter
than yours (you have a 22' boat, right?), it is about a foot deeper from
the deck to the gunnels, has the typical "Carolina flare," has 21
degrees of deadrise at the transom and probably weighs about 1000 pounds
more. Right. Makes perfect sense, even though what you are saying
violates the laws of physics. Yep, your boat is going to be drier in
heavy seas. Sure it is.

20' and I can see you are already backing down.

Chicken. :)

The second part would be fun if we had the same sized engines on the
transom...don't you have a 300 hp deadTec on that wet little boat? :}

I only have a 150.

200 HO.

I'll only go half throttle. :)


You have the 20' SmallBayRanger? Ranger must have dropped that model, as
the 20-footer is not rated for 200 horsepower. Unless you are exceeding
the recommended maximum.

Are the dimensions on your boat, but for length, about the same as the
22-footer? If so, you have a very wide, fairly flat-bottomed, modified
vee hull. Hard riding in the chop and wet.

I've seen Ranger bay boats out on nice days. How many Parker 2100CC's
have you seen? Probably none. There are plenty of Parker 21's out there,
but they mostly are the "SE" models. Different boat.
