Wayne. That boat is a bit heavy and large to be a tender for your boat. However, if you like Parkers with a self bailing cockpit and a surrey top (not sure weather the fringe option has been added yet), there's a little 20 foot, extremely light use, often waxed and fondled, well photographed one that may be coming available soon. His wife won't go out with him anymore because of his grouchiness. And she refuses to use the head in a suitcase he gave her for their ninth anniversary. His closest friend lives in Ohio and refuses to come down and be a guest on his boat due to quote "imperfect weather, dangerous ripples, and bad company". He can't stand to be alone with himself, so I think it's the right time for him to sell. I forget the fellows name but he posts here once in a while and I suspect he will be posting here more frequently since he has had a falling out with the moderator of the other boating chat room he visits. His vocabulary consists of mostly four letter words, so he'll be easy to spot. Ask him about the boat next time he shows up. I heard it's a pig on gas because the boat is underpowered and struggles to get on plane. But for use as a tender, the power issue shouldn't matter. Ripples? Good one. |

Harry, are you ready to put up your pink slip to your Parker for our bet? It was your idea, are you going to chicken **** out of it? |

Harry, are you ready to put up your pink slip to your Parker for our bet? It was your idea, are you going to chicken **** out of it? You have to have something of value, Loogy, and drive it up here so I can see if it is worth my while. Didn't your wife see the DNR tag on your toe this morning? What's the matter? Can't she read, either?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Uh, Harry, I knew you'd chicken **** out. YOU said pink slips to ANYTHING of mine, car, truck or boat. No problem, I'm willing to travel there to take the challenge, then I'll hook up to your Parker and drag it back with me. You don't back out on your bets do you? And I'll tell you another thing, low life. If you start that low life **** like JimH and start talking about my family, it'll get very ugly, very fast, got it? Of course, I know it's your way of chicken ****ting out of YOUR bet. What a fat old pussy you are. |

That is truly nice, I would suppose but in the gulf waters or even the lower eastern seas, how would you get any ventilation in that cabin , I would think that even with the windows open it would, or at least could get quite stuffy in there. I didn't really look at the spec's really well but does it have an OB generator and air conditioning? Haven't seen complete specs, but I suspect there is room for a genny and there is an a/c option for those who want it. The cabin front and side windows open and back window (I'm guessing on that one) open. Seems Parker has "softened" the design shape by rounding out windows and doors getting away from that traditional Parker box on a box look. Looks good. The hull still seems boxy and a bit slab sided to me though. Eisboch I'm sure it is still boxy and slab sided...that's part of Parker's "retro" charm to those who like the boats...the complete opposite of "bubble" boats! :) Parkers are in a class of their own. If there is anything "Retro" about them it's the fact that they resemble those awful plywood kit boats from the 50s and sixties. Best thing about Parker is the Monkey Puke Beige color that is their trademark. I suggest you email the Parker family with suggestions you have to improve the boat. You, after all, have more experience in boat design than they do. Robin Parker can be emailed at . BTW: Can you post of picture of your 25+ year old Wellcraft from the dock and post it here next time you are taking it out? If I were you, dear boy, I would be practicing cleaning up your act and thinking about your behavior issues in case Chuck decides to give you another chance. BTW are you a 2 time loser or is this your first fall? |
