Can you build a low transom 21 foot center console?

Why would anyone want to build one of those?

There are some who believe that wet decks and unstable platforms in
stern seas are a plus. It's a kind of "macho" thing.

Not to mention any names of course, but a set of initials might just
look like...

Well, let's just leave it at that.

Plus, based on Gene's story, they make good artificial reefs. :)

Speaking of wet decks, this is a 22' Bay Ranger:

Specs say it is only 16.5" deep from the cockpit sole to the
gunnels...couple of interesting broadsides, and glug, glug, glug.

Nice boat for the Florida flats or the North Florida ICW...I'd certainly
not take it out in the ocean or a big bay.

Tell you what - let's do a little "test".

I'll bring my Ranger down there when I leave for SC next week and on
my way back, we'll put your Parker up against my Ranger in some heavy
wakes or seas.

Broadside. I guarentee you I will be nice and dry and you will be
soaked. No boots - deck shoes for evidence.

And just for giggles, let's see if your 150 Yamaha can pull the stern
of my Ranger under. Then we'll see if my ETEC can pull the stern of
your Parker under.

How 'bout it? Up for it? :)

Speaking of Brut .... (I think it was Brut) .....

Did you hear about the guy that splashed it on his face, lit up a cigarette
and caught fire?
Apparently it remains "flammable" for a period of time after you first put
it on.
