Now you've kicked off a huge "You're a this," "you're a that," feud
that will run up the totals for some even higher.

==========================

Heh. At least it's about boats.

Your low life Pahkuh would be lucky to last 10 minutes on a rough day
in the ocean or on the Chesapeake.

Prequel: ?I'm not trying to start an argument here.

I helped take down my dealer's display at the Boston Covention Center
today and transfer it to Hartford for the CMTA show this coming
weekend.

I had some down time, so I started talking to the Parker dealer and
the subject of splash boards came up - I noticed that all the Parker
boats on display had splash boards on the open transom boats.

When I asked the question, he simply said that in his opinion, anyone
who doesn't use a spash board is asking for trouble when backing down
for any particular reason. ?Not to mention more water in the boat than
is nececssary in certain sea states.

Straight from the dealer. ?:)

Just pointing out that not everything Parker revolves around the
Chesapeake Bay. :)

And because it's fun jerking Harry's chain every once in a while.

And that low transom thing never gets old. :)

Although it is getting a little long in the tooth.

How was the boat show?

Ugly - very ugly.

Lots of muttering about money wasted, etc. One solid week in Boston
and four leads - no sales. Heard via several of the reps I know that
there wasn't a lot of activity in any of the booths.

On the plus side, BRP is putting the Johnson brand into sleep mode for
a couple of years (nice little rumor about what the Johnson brand is
going to become) and ETECs are going to be produced in three new small
flavors - 9.9, 15 and 25 and being introduced in 2009.

Soon, ETEC will rule the world!!!

MMMUUUUUUAAAWWWWAAAAHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!

Ours starts on Thursday.

The CMTA (Connecticut Marine Trades) show starts Thursday. That is
usually a producer of leads and actual sales. We'll see.

I was just pointing out what the Parker dealer said when I asked the

were postulating.

Well, Whine, according to reports, that's nine minutes and forty five
seconds longer than *your* average woody.

Bertie, I still chuckle from time to time over the five years of your
bragging that you made more money than I did, and lived in a bigger or
better house. Your powers of observation/perception are now greater now
than when you quit high school to run away with the Marines.


Even the Marines didn't seem to have much use for him.
I guess someone has to be a 'stay at home mom'.

Of course Harry - you would know.

90% of the outboards on display were ETECs at Boston.

Setting up at the CMTA show yesterday, mostly ETECs. A few Verados,
very few Yamahas.

Only the stuck in the mud, Lego built Parkers were wedded to Yamaha.

Ancient technology - move up to the real world Harry - go ETEC.

You know you want to. :)
