Default Parker splash boards.../ How was the boat show?

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. �:)


That really wasn't nice, Tom. Did you know that (according to the
stats available through Google) several posters have logged an average
of more than 30-posts per day since the beginning of the year? Good
grief, it's become a full time job for some of them. How dismal is
that?
Now you've kicked off a huge "You're a this," "you're a that," feud
that will run up the totals for some even higher.

How was the boat show?

Ours starts on Thursday.
