I like these boats but with this model you can't keep your feet dry.
Waves are always coming over the transom.

Interesting. I've owned three recent vintage outboard boats, all smaller
than the Parker, and with 20" instead of 25" transoms. I used them
mostly in the Atlantic Ocean off the Florida coast and I recall one time
when I got a little wave action in over the transom. Of course, I always
made an effort to keep waves from breaking against the stern.

I doubt it will be an issue on the new ride.

Maybe you haven't seen your new boat in the water-

Doesn't take more than a 10" wave from behind to come over the transom

Damn, from that photo it does look like it is completely open around the
engine mount. I have always seen the engine cut out enclosed so it is
not open to the cabin. Hopefully that photo is not representative of
the way it really is, because if this is the way it really is, one could
expect to have wet feet from any kind of following sea.

Odd thing is that is an East Coast design. Rare to see a transom cutout in
the west. And when the transom is cut out, there are splash boards to stop
waves coming in the back.

Bill,
All the boats I have seen on the east coast has a engine well that is
enclosed with large scuppers to drain the water out of the engine well,
not open to the main cabin. I checked Grady-White's and they have an
enclosed engine well. Heck, from memory even Bayliner's Trophy series
did not have an open engine cut out like that. Oh well, hopefully they
have a way to block that opening or it will be a very wet boat.

You gotta love it when a horse's ass like Reggie Retardo comments about
any aspect of salt water boating.

But he may boat more than 15 hours a year.

Thank you - splash boards.

Couldn't remember the name of them to save my life.
