Looking good....! Man! That is a really GREAT looking boat in the

It's one of those...you know, I've seen a few around, but I just cannot
remember the brand name. Uncle Grady? GradyFish? Something like that.

You mean that boat that looks like somebody with no style or class
designed a hull and put a box on top of it?

Shady White - something like that.

That's it: ShadyWhite!

BTW, it got to 103F today. I stopped at the dealer's again on the way to
the airport and saw the finished name decal. But it was too hot, and I
never even got out of my air conditioned car to take a photo!

103F. I'm glad we're not in a midst of global warming.

Walked a 500,000 ft2 building today, warehouse and factory.......only the
small office areas were AC'd. I must have lost 5 pounds of water, none of
which evaporated but clinged to my forehead, shirt and trousers. Dew point
over 75% and temps at 90F.

I could not wait to get into my car and crank up the AC.

In weather like this you have to feel for folks working in factories,
warehouses, on roofs, on roads and other construction jobs.

I collected garbage for the city for 2 summers while in high school. I know
I was in better shape then but I still don't remember this type of heat and
humidity.

You need some A/C on that boat.

Maybe you could get Parker to design a pilot house model.

One of my summer jobs during college vacations was cleaning out old
steam and fire tube boilers. You climbed inside...and of course the
boilers were outside on a railway dock. Sheesh.

Best summer job was loading trucks at Hulls Export Beer. The company
kept a cold keg out on the dock for us grunts.

Now there's an idea...
There are some parkers in Florida with rooftop AC units. They run off a
honda gasoline genny in the cockpit.

A few but not too many. I mostly see the pilot house Parkers in cold
weather climes. Cockpit gensets are inherently dangerous.
Unfortunately I'm seeing more sailboats and small power cruisers with
them.

Grady White? Is that a foreign language that translates to "Wow, we sure
like this boat and price it that way also, sucker!".

I wonder what they said back when it hit 106 in D.C.?

Harry, does the new engine normally come with no prop?



Yup. My invoice lists the boat and its accessories from Parker and a
separate listing for other items, such as a prop. The showroom floor
price of the boat, though, includes the prop.

I actually had not seen this exact model "on the hard." The dealer has a
couple of 21-footers in his showroom, but they're the shallower vee
models and have less freeboard, too. Our new boat has the same hull as
the 2120 pilothouse model. A lot of the guys who buy these 21-foot
Parker center consoles prefer the semi-vees so they can more easily fish
the flats up north.

Here's a better shot of the stern. Note the little "pad" at the bottom
of the vee...

I just doubled checked the transom where they have cut out for the
engine mount. Is this normal on CC to have it completely open like
that? It does seem like it would be a very wet boat, not only when you
have a following sea, but when you come off of plane, and the wake
collapses and comes rushing up against the transom.
