I gotta wonder how stable that this - there is virtually no cross
bracing for side-to-side stability.
Speaking of side-to-side stability, did I ever mention the swaying
action I get with my bimini? Oh, I did? Well...never mind.
It was determined that you should have purchased a surry top like
Harry's. His was the finest kind available and didn't sway like yours.
Yup. We remember.
Was that the bimini that was hand built by the finest Union craftsmen
using only expensive German hand tools and the highest grade materials
known to man including the top material that was certified by NASA and
was used to craft space suits installed by a crew of highly trained
engineers using only high strength through fittings so that on the
next fire boat welcome after some amazing adventure on Chesapeake Bay
so that nobody would get wet while standing under it?

Nowhere in here is there any mention of the stiffness of that famous
2" tubing.


The way I heard it it wasn't two inch marine aluminum tubing - I heard
it was 1 1/2" titanium/nickel alloy from only the finest, cleanest and
well managed Union manned mines in the world and extruded in Germany
using the best Swedish machinery to a tolerance of .00000000001 in
wall thickness.


Correct. Crafted by jps's team of screwdriver wielding experts.

Oh, I thought it was a reference to the stiffness of the 2" tubing
that is getting all the use in the second honeymoon in Vero Beach.

His landlord wouldn't touch that with a can of Lysol.

No, Mr. Multiple Personality Disorder, it's built by a vendor in the
Carolinas and of heavier tubing and with more and better supports than
the piece of **** bimini on Herring's price-built boat. You know, the
boat Herring is selling so he can be among the boatless here.


Gee. I guess you told him a thing or two. Curious how you know
construction specs and details of Herring's bimini? A Parker owner
talking about price built boats. Who would know better about price built
than Parker?


Please tell me - what's the difference between a 'price boat' and a
'no-price boat'?

Are Parkers free?

No, but they should be. :-

Key West makes a very nice boat. I can't say anything about Parker -
I've never seen one on the water here.


I have always believed any boat someone uses and has fun, is a nice
boat. If the boat sits in your driveway all the time, and you use it 20
-25 hrs a year, it isn't a nice boat, it is a an eyesore to the neighbors.
