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.

Do you keep the boots in the boat or inside?



Since you insist upon acting as if you were a junior high a**hole,
there's no reason to treat you as if you were not.

I keep the boots in the Atlanta area. When I want to store them, I
bring them down to your area, along with a tube of trailer bearing
grease, ask two pansies to bend you over a rail, and watch them shove
the boots up your butt.

Now, you want to behave decently, or you want to continue acting like
a little twerp?

Harry,
It looks like you need to take your own advice.


Virtually everyone here is "behaving" reasonably, R., Except for you,
the usual turds, and sometimes Wayne. Is it beyond your capability to
keep your snarkiness in check?

Harry,
I would recommend you look at your own behavior, I am the epitome of
behaving reasonable, when compared to you.

I'm just sayin' ;)

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

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.

I'm just sayin' ;)

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'm just sayin' ;)

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.

I don't think anyone has mentioned yet the reason for a notched transom on a
deep or modified deep V hull with decent deadrise.

It's so the standard length outboard legs will keep the prop in the water.

What's the "standard" length leg on an outboard these days?

Mine is 25". When I bought my first Parker, I was considering the 21'
pilothouse, and talked to Parker about the notched hull. Parker,
obviously, can design whatever it wants into its boats. I was told the
brackets threw the hull off balance. From what I have seen of smaller
boats with brackets, I believe that.

What I really don't like: eurotransoms.

I'm just sayin' ;)

Trust me. He's quite knowledgeable about boats.

I've never seen any evidence of that.

If not mistaken, I believe 21 to 25 inches is considered "standard" length.

I think a bracket is great if the boat is overall designed for it.
