Parker splash boards...
 

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. :)

"The subject of splash boards came up..."

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.

It comes up down here, too, and among Parker owners. But for one in a
survey about it, everyone has either removed it, or ordered their boat
without it.

Straight from the owners :-)

BTW, where do you keep your spare eTec on that candyflake RangeR?

Odd you should mention that.

I've been looking for a kicker engine and guess what?

Apparently Evinrude will be making ETECs in 9.9, 15 and 25 horsepower
due to popular demand.

ETECs are now becoming the defacto standard for clean burning,
efficient engine power.

Soon, four strokes will be a thing of the past.

Those who own transomless boats with four stroke engines will become a
drain on the market for real boats with real engines.

Yeah, eTecs are so popular that I've seen two on boats around here,
including the one on the cop boat. Whatever the merits of the engine, I
wouldn't touch one with a 20-foot pole. The current owner of the brand
name does not inspire my confidence.

Reggie is compensating for the fact that he doesn't have the balls to

he flings at everyone else.

Bet on it.

I don't believe the litte sh*t has a boat, either. Never did.

I would judge any boat more by my personal observation of those who boat
in the same area I do. I can honestly say I've seen no Parkers that I
can recall, which would make me wonder if maybe there are no dealers in
this area, or they are simply not popular or in demand enough for the
waters in this part of the country.

To each their own. My brother-in-law's girlfriend continues to rave
about her pontoon boat. Personally I would never own one due to the fact
they are not well suited to the fishing/boating we prefer to do. I
finally had to explain to her, 'I am happy for you to be happy with your
boat, please stop wasting your time trying to convince me I should get
one'.

I guess some people just seem to think that what works well for them
would work well for everyone else. It simply ain't so.

Bertie, I still chuckle from time to time over the five years of your

than when you quit high school to run away with the Marines.

If you spend all of your time BSing on the internet and fishing the
Patuxent River on calm days, you probably have nothing to worry about,
especially if you are *very* experienced and once saw a boat being
built.


Dear Whine..

So, how much does it cost to have a broken down old transmission
replaced on a broken down old boat?

If I were you I'd stick to radio controlled lobster boat kits, the
ones with high transoms and reasonable maintenance costs.

Oh, I don't *have* to ask, Whine. It's just a bit of fun at your
expense, that's all. You know how that works, right? Hey, maybe you'll
have to sleeve an engine this year, or, who knows, replace the other
transmission. Fun, fun, fun.

You're getting pretty weird again and need to get out more, preferably
on a larger boat where you could fish the entire Chesapeake instead of
just the tributaries.

The boat I have now is pretty close to perfect for fishing the entire
Chesapeake and its tributaries, Whine. It also works nicely in the
ocean. Perhaps if your boating skills were a little sharper, you'd know
how to handle small boats in the ocean and not brownstain your shorts.

So, assuming your diesel can be sleeved, when is it due for a full
overhaul? Soon? And what's the MTBF on that other tranny? Soon?

Next time you're in the area, Whine, let me know...we can throw castnets
from the bows of our boats in 30" of water near the shoreline and bring
up some live baits. I'll put mine in my livewell and you'll put yours in
your...well...that would be a problem, wouldn't it?

Dear Abby,
Ok, I have this great big hole in my transom, should I put up a

More than you can afford.

Harry,
This could be a cut and paste from one of Skippers old post.

Now why don't you spend the next 2 years telling Wayne how much better
your boat is when you are towing it on the interstate.

Hey, I have an idea, why don't you make up something called "The
Challenge", where you ask Wayne about taking his boat on a 12 hr tow on
the Interstate, then you have to "cast nets" from the bow of each boat
in 30" of water, and then place them in a livewell. Which ever boat
does that best..... heck you can call that the best boat.

Since you know it is stupid to compare a really nice cruising boat with
a tiny little bay boat, with a big hole in it's transom, you can just
keep refering to this as "THE CHALLENGE".

the subject of splash boards came up - I noticed that all the Parker

When I asked the question, he simply said that in his opinion, anyone

That really wasn't nice, Tom. Did you know that (according to the
stats available through Google) several posters have logged an average
of more than 30-posts per day since the beginning of the year? Good
grief, it's become a full time job for some of them. How dismal is
that?
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.

How was the boat show?

Ours starts on Thursday.

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.

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. :)
