Amazing...a 34-foot, twin engine boat whose dry weight is only 4000
pounds more than my 25-footer. High tech materials?


You actually stepped in it again Harry. The weight/foot of my 32 foot
boat is still far greater than your 25 footer......65 1/2 pounds/foot
to be exact.

Tee-hee. ;-)


Nice theory, but the beam is 18" wider.

OK. Taking total square foot (assuming a full beam along the entire
length of the boat) mine is still about 20% heavier/ft2.

An absolutely idiotic, simple-minded comparison for any number of reasons,
not the least of which is the fact that that old bubble boat of
yours had about 2600 pounds tied up in engines.

Nice try. Take off 1300 pounds and the boat is still heavier/ft2 than your
Parker.
