Harry,

Do you keep your knee-high boots in the boat or bring them
inside? I would recommend you bring them inside, if you keep them in
the boat during the winter, you can have problems with mold and mildew.


Gee, Reggieturd...next time I need the opinion of a know-nothing flaming
asshole, I'll be sure to contact you.

I included the link again cause I do have a question. I have been
looking at low transom boats and accepted Harrys assertion of the
benefits of a LT (ie. quick empty cockpit etc.) as I also have a LT
boat even if it is worth less than Harrys guage cluster Anyway, I
was watching my transom ride way above everything I could throw at it
and with my wide flat (primary stability/bouyancy) hull it makes a lot
of sense as it takes a great amount of pressure to dip my transom,
right from the start. What I can't understand is how a LT is good on a
deep vee (with secondary or in this case, delayed stability/bouyancy).
In rough water the transom can rise and fall. The deep vee does not
provide nearly as much bouyancy high in the water and the momentum of
the drop to sea level comes much more slowly. The momentum of such a
heavy hull, and narrow surface presence could much more easily allow a
deep vee to submerge. Much more easily that a flat or relatively flat
bay boat the same way a deep vee rolls more in relation to the surface
compared to a flat boat. Remember, bouyancy is only relational to the
surface area of contact with the hull. After considering this I am
wondering why anyone would really build a LT into a deep Vee, big
water type boat? Or is a Parker really a bay boat, not intended for
rough water? Kind of like a Suzuki Samuri, looks like it's built for
the trails, but really built for the urban dweller?

I know Harry wll be ****ed, but hopefully someone with a smaller chip
can answer my question rationally Sorry Harry, like your boat, but
still have my concerns...

I'm not "****ed" at your attempts to educate yourself. I think you're a
funny guy, with very, very limited experience in real vee-bottomed power
boats.

Take a look here and see if you can figure out any of the answers you
are seeking:

Note that the round stainless steel drain on the port side next to the
engine is above the waterline.

Note that the transom cutout portion is 25" high.

Note the areas of the boat's bottom outboard of the trim tabs.

Any wheels turning up there between your ears?

Maybe this photo will help allay your fears:

I am starting to see the flaw in my thinking... I am noting that other
than up on plane, the water level at the transom would probably not be
below the chine logs (into the vee)... Hummmmm... I'm lernin

As to LT on an off shore boat, I guess it can be done safely, but I am
still trying to figure out why when there are probably better options
in most conditions, on most hull configurations... Hummmm, I'll be
back

I'd say that if the LT parkers were unsafe they wouldn't be selling
them.

The transoms aren't low, they're notched. Whichever newsgroup idiot
started this doesn't know the difference. The model Parker I have has
been in continuous production (except for one year) for more than 25
years, with very minor changes. The one year it was out of production
was the year the company introduced a cabin pilothouse model on the same
hull, and it didn't have enough 21' deep vee molds to keep up with
demand for the latter.

Parker makes notched transom models to 25'. They are by far the
company's most popular boats among their fishermen customers.

Harry, did you ever consider that about 99.9% of the posts about your low
transom are made simply to get a rise out of you? No one seriously believes
the low (or notched) transom is unsafe or unseaworthy. They're pulling your
chain, and you're letting them.

I believe you are correct regarding those who understand what they see,
but we do have a few boating fools here, like Returdo, who don't know
any better.
