I think we know how that would turn out. Bring on another case of
shock absorbers.


The 16-degree Parkers do very well in the chop. Very sharp bow entry,
tabs, and you move right along at a decent clip.

It's too bad you don't know dick about small boat boating on places
where the 16-degree deadrise hulls are popular. Very, very popular. The
biggest selling Parkers hereabouts are the 16-degree deadrise 21 and 23
footers.


With low transoms, too!

Are you still maintaining that no companies could build and sell small
wood dinghies, skiffs, and dories for $200 in the mid 1950s, Whine?

That has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with his statement. Pretty ****-poor
debating skills.

Flat water boats.

If 16 degrees is so great, why does anyone build 23s? Since I've had
both I can tell you the answer: Low dead rise boats
will knock your fillings out in any kind of chop more than 1 foot or
so unless they are long and heavy.

I've owned a lot more small boats than large, and I've run them on
bigger water than the Patuxent River. You on the other hand, probably
do know dick, and quite possibly jack sh*t.

I'll talk to you when you become reasonable.

LOL! He will never stop!

While the defense of your favorite boat line is admirable, dude - you
really have to think before you make a statement like that.

That just ain't true.


What part do you disagree with, Tom?

That the guys here with the 16-degree deadrise hulls use their sharp
entry bows and trim tabs to ride through the chop? That the boats are
very popular? That the biggest selling Parkers around here are the 21
and 23 footers with the 16-degree deadrise hulls?

Many of the best guides in the Bay, the entire Bay, are running the
23-foot Parkers with 16-degree deadrise bottoms.

My previous Parker had the 16 degree deadrise hull. If the chop got
noticeable, I just used the tabs to lower the bow and we kept on keeping
on, in conditions that would have had you bouncing right out of your
overwide Wrangler.
