Sorry, Reggie, but I don't post *my* photos here or at Chuck's place
anymore. Didn't you understand the joke, get the email or understand the
laughing face? You should have looked more closely at the EXIF trail I
left for you...

The post was an experiment, to see if even the most innocuous boating
post would gather a few interesting responses about the boats and the
activities. The experiment obviously failed. You and the other Seven
Little Schitts have nothing to post about boats here or anywhere else,
and when someone does, you do your best to schitt on the post.

Sad, really.

Remember that photo of "someone's granddaughter," the one I said I did
not photoshop, and you had apoplexy over? Well, I never claimed it was
*my* granddaughter (it wasn't - I would never post photos of my kids or
grandkids on the internet), and *I* didn't photoshop it, although I did
use photoshop to crop it, that's all. The photo was exactly as I found
it, except I reduced to a "head shot."

As always, have a really terrific day.

I'm sure Tom will ban me at Chuck's for trying to start up boating
discussions. But, hell, at least I am trying to get some boating-related
discussions going. That is more than you and the other little schitts do

Don't have an orgasm over this post. I happen to be using my mac at the
moment with aperture 2, my preferred digital editing software, and
t'bird on this machine has no filters. You're still in the schittbox on
my main desktop machine...so there is no need to respond if you expect
me to see it.

It's getting closer, Reggie... Remember what *it* is?


Harry, did you ever hear about the'Christmas Goose'.

Did you notice the images of the CC's with the T-tops?

Those T-tops make a huge difference in the looks of the boat.

Hell, if I could get one with ETECs, I might buy one.

I wonder what the kickback is for giving a engine mfg'er an exclusive
with your boats. I know many boat mfg'ers are owned by the engine
mfg'er, but without a reciprocal agreement, I don't think Parker would
offer Yamaha exclusively.

I had a tee-top on one of my SeaPros. Nicely done tee-top, too, from a
top-grade fabricator. Naturally, I had to have a special cover made to
accommodate the tee-top. The tee-top gives a lot less shade, and it
creates quite a bit more drag for the boat while it is on the water or
being towed.

When the sun is too hot for me, I flip up the oversized bimini top on my
Parker. Blocks the sun over the console almost completely, and the
overhang in the front helps there, too. Doesn't interfere with fly
fishing, which I do from near the bow, doesn't interfere with fishing
from the rear of the boat. Rarely have I had to "walk a fish" around any
boat.

I'm sure you can get one with an Etec...just buy the boat, remove the
Yamaha, sell the Yamaha and its rigging, and then buy an Etec and
install it.

Better yet, wait a while until Bombardier gets out of the outboard
business and sells the Evinrude name to someone else. Someone
in...oh...China!

Listen to yourself. You sound like an old lady.

Gosh, I thought Harry said he was the person behind the lens in this photo.

Maybe I was mistaken.

Man, a lot of fat people own Parkers. OH, and of course, Harry's
posting was all in jest he now claims!

This forum site was an interesting read. I spend some time reading some of
the 200+ postings by a certain "hakr" and his exchanges with other
participants of the forum. Unlike many web based discussion forums, this
one does not lock out non-members from searching for any posts by authors.

The "hakr" there was polite .... respectful .... and genuinely helpful to
his fellow Parker owners. No politics. No dumbfochs.
No Schittheads.

He even admitted to being somewhat at a loss regarding the battery wiring on
his new Parker and humbly solicited help from others.

Of course, there are no real controversial posts at this forum. Everybody
owns the same brand boat ... or wants to.
Sorta like a mutual admiration society. The only disagreements I noticed
during my short visit were accusations to those who were experiencing some
problems with their Parkers .... loose hardware, leaking windows, etc., or
were otherwise less than 100 percent satisfied with their purchase (there
really *are* some dis-satisfied Parker owners!) that they purchased from
the wrong dealer.

Is hakr of the Parker forum the same person as hk of rec.boats or Chuck's
Island? Can't be.
