This is ridiculous.. the hybrids we make no adays are every bit as

sold in his shop made of polyester resin, and the epoxy, mahogany,

you want, but you are wrong... The Toleman's in particular are some
beefy boats that go where your Parker never will. I won't let you pull
me into this one, you need to do your homework then come back and we
will talk..

Consider you probably have never even been close to a Parker, or climbed
aboard one and looked around, I find your comment laughable.

Then your comment about a certain Tolman is equally laughable if
you've not seen it.



I've seen some stitch-and-glue dories around here, even a couple of
16-footers. I wasn't impressed.

There are small dories that are wood handbuilt that will still be
around when you're Parker is dead.



What's the biggest stitch-and-glue heavy duty boat you've built that
regularly plies the ocean?

To think that someone can't build a wood boat at least as strong as a
commercial company (who is trying to make a profit) that makes thin
F.G. boats is stupid and absurd.

I believe that empiracally and theoretically, that a joint made using
epoxy/glass/biax/epoxy saturated wood is stronger than a poly-resin
boat built with poly-glass/wood stringer construction.
