Then you certainly should never own one. Is that the new universal
standard for a good boat? It has to be suitable for Harry Krause's
occassional use, whether or not one boats in the same conditions? I
personally wouldn't have your Parker up my keister if I had room in
there for Barnum and Bailey's entire circus- but that doesn't mean it
isn't a good boat nor that people who would be in a position to enjoy
and appreciate its characteristics shouldn't own one.
