Post in the new Parker thread:

"Here's an interesting exercise for us to try - measure from the keel
to the highest point of the gunwale, measure the broadest points
gunwale-to-gunwale, and the overall length. Use the following formula
- Length times breadth (side-to-side at it's broadest point) times
depth (keel to highest point on gunwale) times .67 and divide that by
100.

I'll bet your GT and mine are within 5% of each other."

Remember?

By the by - you mentioned that Parker does custom boats in another
post in that same thread.

It was my understanding that Parker doesn't do custom boats.

Did that change recently? Last time I talked to Robin about this, she
was pretty adament that they didn't.

No, I don't remember. Should I have? I do know your boat will fit inside
mine, so its GT must be higher for whatever that is worth.

Parker is turning out a couple of bare bones hulls for commercial
customers. Certain "components" are available from the factory to
"finish out" the boat. Saw the hulls at the dealers the other day.
That's all I know about them.

BTW, I found out today that on at least a few occasions in the past,
Parker has gelcoated new boats in a dark green and a blue. Saw a photo
of a green hulled boat, heard about the blue.

For your scrapbook.

About 15 slips down from where I am sitting. But, we let him in anyway.

No it won't and let's figure it out.

In the picture I took it almost looks black, but that's because it is
heavily overcast down here today with poor light.
It's also taken with a little HP point and shoot.

That looks like the patrol boat that the Dept of Water Conservation
uses on Carlyle
