It's too bad you don't know dick about small boat boating on places
where the 16-degree deadrise hulls are popular. Very, very popular. The
biggest selling Parkers hereabouts are the 16-degree deadrise 21 and 23
footers.


Flat water boats.


If 16 degrees is so great, why does anyone build 23s? *


Since I've had both I can tell you the answer: *Low dead rise boats
will knock your fillings out in any kind of chop more than 1 foot or
so unless they are long and heavy.


I've owned a lot more small boats than large, and I've run them on
bigger water than the Patuxent River. *You on the other hand, probably
do know dick, and quite possibly jack sh*t.


I know enough not to own a 30-year-old mechanic's nightmare of a Grankd
Banks RV barge, one that cost you how much this past summer for a tranny
rebuild? $20,000?- Hide quoted text -

How much is the tranny rebuild on your lobster boat?
