That's right...it's 25" from the top of the transom notch to the
bottom of the boat at the transom. How the hell do you think transom
height is measured?
What's the distance between the top of the transom notch and the
waterline?

I posted how transom height on bracketless outboard boats is measured.

I understand. My question was what is the distance between the top of
the notch and the waterline?

This might help:

At rest, the round stainless drain below the scuppers on the port side is
above the waterline, and in fact, if you stretched a line across the
transom from one chine to the other, it would mark the waterline, because
the outside edge of the trim tabs are also visible.

I'm guessing what is out of the water is about half the height of the
transom, or around 12.5 inches at rest.

Just a guess.
Looking at the pic, and thinking about other similar boats, I would have
guessed the waterline at rest would be much higher, like around the vertical
centerline of the rectangular drains, plus or minus an inch.

If the chines are basically the waterline, it sits high in the water for
that type of boat.

I posted another photo from the Parker site that shows the chines are
the waterline at the stern. As I have stated here many times, it is the
largest 21-footer I have ever seen, not in length, but in depth and height.

The water had better be dead calm or there'll be a-swamping goin' on.



Another idiot.

But it's wally...so we already knew that.

Where are the photos of your boat, Wally?

It seems that those who whine the most about the boats of others are
also the least likely to post detailed photos of their boats.

You know...you, Reggie, Florida Jim, AtlantaEjaculate (Loogy), even SW
Tom won't post a photo of his boat showing that wonderful transom.

I've seen photos of Eisboch's boats, seen photos of JimH's boats, even
seen photos of Herring's boats. And others.

But you pussies who bitch about the boats of others?

Cowards all. Let's see the clear, detailed photos of your boats. The
ones you currently own.
