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:

http://tinyurl.com/2rlax5

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? :)

I'd like to see a test between the ETEC 150 hp and a 140hp (3.0) GM/
Mercuiser.

Too far away, but I'd put my little chris craft up to the test.

Of course. Tom knows his ****. He's just trying to imitate one of the

If Skipper is "departed" than it's time for lobsta bote pictures.


Departed from here, not from life. If you're on the Miles River, you're
a lot closer to the lobsta boat than you know.

Wayne, that infamous lobsta boat is in your neighborhood, snap a picture
of it.

Fishermen love em'





They add structure to the bottom...


But they are not big enough to really provide a good home for the
monster fish. Now if you tie together about 10 of them, now that
would be some good structure.



This coming from Reggie, a guy who brownstains his shorts when other
posters here ask about his boat.

No it doesn't bother me at all for anyone to ask me any question at all.



Right...because you won't offer up the information. As many have
suggested, all you are here for is to insult others.


I had no idea I had insulted you, what did I say?

Unfortunately, the few parkers I have seen with diesels have been I/O's,
which I would not touch with a 10' Pole...or Ukrainian.

I talked to some folks at the Parker factory about a "straight" diesel,
but was told there was really no reason for one now, what with the high
horsepower four cycle outboards. This was three or four years ago.

Sometime next year Parker will be introducing a new, 34' pilot house
with twin 350 hp Yamaha outboards. At that size and weight, it ain't a
boat I would want to trailer or operate with outboards. A 600 hp
straight diesel with a small keel/prop pocket, though, would be very
nice in that boat.

Oh the first part makes perfect sense, as my boat, though a foot shorter
than yours (you have a 22' boat, right?), it is about a foot deeper from
the deck to the gunnels, has the typical "Carolina flare," has 21
degrees of deadrise at the transom and probably weighs about 1000 pounds
more. Right. Makes perfect sense, even though what you are saying
violates the laws of physics. Yep, your boat is going to be drier in
heavy seas. Sure it is.

20' and I can see you are already backing down.

Chicken. :)

The second part would be fun if we had the same sized engines on the
transom...don't you have a 300 hp deadTec on that wet little boat? :}

I only have a 150.

200 HO.

I'll only go half throttle. :)


You have the 20' SmallBayRanger? Ranger must have dropped that model, as
the 20-footer is not rated for 200 horsepower. Unless you are exceeding
the recommended maximum.

Finally figured it out - heh...

Mines rated for 225 and is a completely different boat from the "new"
bay boats.

Are the dimensions on your boat, but for length, about the same as the
22-footer? If so, you have a very wide, fairly flat-bottomed, modified
vee hull. Hard riding in the chop and wet.

Hey - ask Scott. He's been in some crap with me in it.

I've seen Ranger bay boats out on nice days. How many Parker 2100CC's
have you seen? Probably none. There are plenty of Parker 21's out there,
but they mostly are the "SE" models. Different boat.

A few actually - very few, but a few.

However, Parker's aren't that unique in design - they are pretty much
the same old same old when it comes to design - pretty standard boat.

No style, no class. :)

I'm sorry, that wasn't fair.

I apologize.

Sounds like a half fast compromise to me. :-)

On the other hand, experiments and demonstrations that promise to
violate the laws of physics often are interesting. Tom has proposed one.

But Harry - think of the opportunity to "prove" by experimentation
those very laws of physics that you claim make your Parker a superior
boat.

Dude - think of the bragging rights!!

And you just know that I'll do it becasue I'm like Johnny Damon - I'm
KRAZZZZY!!! :)

No glitz on Parkers, for sure. That's what is most endearing to me.
Is your Ranger finished in metalflake?

Where can we buy tickets for this event?

There we go Harry - we can make some money off of this deal.

I'll provide video service and additional spectator seating..

Stadium seating no less - just like Bob Uecker - "Ow - must be down
the front row..."

Heh, heh, heh...
