See if you can find Harry's YoHo in the photos. This is sort of like
"Where's Waldo"




This forum site was an interesting read. I spend some time reading some of
the 200+ postings by a certain "hakr" and his exchanges with other
participants of the forum. Unlike many web based discussion forums, this
one does not lock out non-members from searching for any posts by authors.

The "hakr" there was polite .... respectful .... and genuinely helpful to
his fellow Parker owners. No politics. No dumbfochs.
No Schittheads.

He even admitted to being somewhat at a loss regarding the battery wiring on
his new Parker and humbly solicited help from others.

Of course, there are no real controversial posts at this forum. Everybody
owns the same brand boat ... or wants to.
Sorta like a mutual admiration society. The only disagreements I noticed
during my short visit were accusations to those who were experiencing some
problems with their Parkers .... loose hardware, leaking windows, etc., or
were otherwise less than 100 percent satisfied with their purchase (there
really *are* some dis-satisfied Parker owners!) that they purchased from
the wrong dealer.

Is hakr of the Parker forum the same person as hk of rec.boats or Chuck's
Island? Can't be.
