Prequel: I'm not trying to start an argument here.

I helped take down my dealer's display at the Boston Covention
Center
today and transfer it to Hartford for the CMTA show this coming
weekend.

I had some down time, so I started talking to the Parker dealer
and
the subject of splash boards came up - I noticed that all the
Parker
boats on display had splash boards on the open transom boats.

When I asked the question, he simply said that in his opinion,
anyone
who doesn't use a spash board is asking for trouble when
backing down
for any particular reason. Not to mention more water in the
boat than
is nececssary in certain sea states.

Straight from the dealer. :)
"The subject of splash boards came up..."

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.

It comes up down here, too, and among Parker owners. But for one
in a survey about it, everyone has either removed it, or ordered
their boat without it.
Of course they do.

Oddly, real fishermen, you know like those who play in the North
Atlantic not sheltered bay, keep them on.

Straight from the owners :-)
Maybe one owner.

Other's probably have more sense.

Dear Abby,
Ok, I have this great big hole in my transom, should I put up a
splash boards or let the water rush in the way.

Thanks,
Sinking in the bay.


There you go again.



Reggie is compensating for the fact that he doesn't have the balls
to list any of his possessions for fear he will be subject to the
same crap he flings at everyone else.

Bet on it.

I don't believe the litte sh*t has a boat, either. Never did.

Reggie enjoys keeping you at bay with your dossier and pen at the ready.



My estimate from looking at my logs is that I see about one in 20 of
reggie's crap drops in this newsgroup and only when someone else
requotes one of his posts. He seems to like writing notes to people
who for the most part don't read them.


But, you read everyone and note the date, time, and your mood before and
after reading them.

Can you spell lithium and Prozac?


For a high school dropout, you are a tad presumptuous.

I read original posts from no more than 10% of the posters here. You and
loogy aren't in the bozo bin for the moment because I feel it is
Christian charity to deal with a small number of nitwits on a regular
basis. You and loogy are my usenet nitwits...for the moment.
