I am thinking about purchasing a Parker 2100.

Is the splash board standard or an option?

Thanks!

A splashboard is an option. It is attached to the port and starboard
jump seats and is removable.

Yep. And when my dealer asked if I wanted the splashboard, I said
"delete that option."

I also "deleted" the seats in the vee of the bow, and I opted for two
swivel seats abaft the center console instead of a leaning post.

There was a fairly long list of stuff to accept or delete, some at no
cost, some at additional charges, and some for a credit against the
total.

My god man. That console and helm was designed for the leaning post. It
was you who screwed up, not Parker. And I'll bet they tried to talk you
out of that pontoon boat style top too. And you deleted the splash board
to boot. You are your own worst enemy.



This from a guy whose boat doesn't exist, or if it does, is a clapped
out old underpowered pocket cruiser from the late 1980's and is in such
poor shape he dare not post a decent photo of it?

I don't like leaning posts.

I don't like tee-tops, because they don't provide enough shade.

The splashboard serves no useful purpose for me.

Got it, Florida Jim? Now...do something useful (for you). Go pee up a rope.
