Arrgh...snow and rain. No Virginia Beach fishing trip this week.

Anyway, got a photo of another West Coast Parker with a tuna tower.
Don't see many of these tower-equipped small boats in these here
parts.

Guy who runs her has an Airmar B-260 transducer, an 80-gallon bait
tank,
and goes out 75 miles for albacore fishing.
I'd be curious where he has that transducer mounted on that boat.

It is a little huge for a thru-hull on that size of boat, but I
suspect that would be one of the preferred models.

Finding good water at plane, though? Location location, location.....



The owner built up some sort of nacelle on the inside of the hull and
the B260 protrudes, but I've not seen a photo of the install. I suspect
with all the money he's spent on the boat, he doesn't count $100 bills
closely.

The back 1/3rd of the Parker 25-footers don't come out of the water
much, even on plane. Or at all. Even.

This look like yours?

That's a dumb place to mount a transducer. Look what's in front of it.

Practical use above aesthetics. Decorative elements on fishing boats -
metalflake, strange colors, fins, carpeting on decks, low-quality
eTec outboards - are superfluous. :-)

How about the YoHo logo? What practical use does that have for fishing?


It differentiates a form-follows-function stern from a streamlined,
metalflake baby low-sided, too wide, carpeted Ranger, dimwit.

A Dumb Ugly graphic does all that? Wow.

Hmm, you whine about Wayne being able to take off in his boat and
vacation at will, saying that he must need to get out of that
"hellhole". Why would you want to vacation away from that wonderful
resort town of Cleveland, Ohio. How's the boating there today?


Have you succeeded yet in your obvious goal of picking a fight with
everyone who posts here?



Booger remains the NG idiot...............hands down.

I wonder if he is still looking for a beat up old speckled fishing boat so
he can upgrade from what he has now?


And you remain the newsgroup 'toady', ever noticed that?

Yeah, we rent a house with another couple. No need for that many bedrooms,
though. There's lots of stuff to do there, some boat-related, some not.
It's a pretty easy drive from here. South Florida is too damned hot for
summertime fun.

Tow Tow Tow your boat merrily down the interstate. This is bringing tears to
my eyes. Harry dragging his widdle boat behind his Toyoater for SIX hours.
Oh, the grief he use to give Skipper for doing the exact same thing.
Somebody link this post over to Skipper. It'll make his day.

You walked onto the Parker...
Like you were walking onto a yacht...

Then you sat down- next to the transom
ignoring waves over the top...

And the Doctor, who's no Doctor..
she tried so hard to get you to stop

But you just sat there, with a blank stare
mumbling and a drooling a lot..

You're insane
You probably think this song's not about you..

I guess I could get financially strapped, sell my boat, save for years
then buy a smaller, well used boat that will break down the first
season I try to use it.

With our latest vacation on OBX we had 12 people in the house (14 for one
night with friends visiting)........only 4 of which were adults.
Thankfully each bedroom had it's own full bath, with a powder room off the
main floor (2nd) family room/dining room/kitchen.

When on vacation I like to indulge.- Hide quoted text -

Isn't that what you are doing?

I don't finance personal toys or "assets" that depreciate. Paid cash for
my first Parker, used some of the proceeds to pay cash for the second.

its for identification purposes!!!!!!
