Why wouldn't they include an engine well, it can't be that expensive. Only an inexperienced boater would believe that the splash guard on a small outboard boat is going to keep water off the deck. Come on Harry. You know as well as the rest of us that there's a big difference between a splash guard and an engine well. Eisboch I've seen engine wells on boats larger than mine that hold about two quarts of water and would not stop any significant "splash" come over the transom. |

There's no reason to believe Reggie owns any boat whatsoever. But the evidence is overwhelming that you own a lobster boat, eh? |

An otherwise reputable boat manufacturer like Parker offers a "splash board"? Why don't they just build it right to begin with? Splash boards are an apology for poor engineering and design. Eisboch Why would I want to give up 2' of usable boat at the stern for something as silly and useless as a "motor well"? The notched transom design is a desired feature for fishermen who like utilitarian boats and don't like to give up valuable real estate for something that only gets in the way of fishing. You don't really think a bitty motor well is going to keep the ocean out of a small boat. There are dozens of boats manufactured for fishermen with transom designs similar to the one on my Parker. I suppose if you are an inexperienced boater you'd think the motor well design adds something. |

I guess if you consider Eisboch a inexperienced boater, you probably don't would also consider Grady-White and Boston Whaler inexperienced boat builders. They both use motor wells for their boats, including their smaller models. |

The Grady White 209, which is its boat about the same size as mine, has a notched transom with a fold down motor well/splashboard, crap-for-brains. Removable. Do you actually know *anything* about boats, Reggie? In the years you have posted here, I have seen no evidence of it. Ever heard of Steigercraft? Another pilothouse line. http://tinyurl.com/34wsgq Take a look and tell us what you see. How many examples would you like? A half dozen? More? BTW, what year, make, and model of boat do you claim to own? |
