Other Parker owners are not excluded. If you have a CC or WA email me anyway. If you want to volunteer let me know as well. Initial pics will be posted at http://www.parker2520.org in 2-3 weeks.

A few of us want to set up a website to share pics, meet other owners & possibly organize a rendezvous. Email me a few pictures of your boat, and write a quick blurb about who you are/where you fish, and contact info (email) for inclusion on the website and as a point of contact for any upcoming events.
Thanks-Bill [email protected]

Folks:
I have gotten a good response and will have the website up by this weekend. Let's keep those pictures rolling in! If you run a charter with this boat, send me some info ASAP. It's free advertising for you! Many people are interested in purchasing a Parker pilothouse, and would be interested in taking a charter to check out the boat.

The website is up-presently it represents about 5 hours of my time and about a $300 investment (domain registration & one year hosting). I would like to see the site grow, and also I would like to see us organize a rendezvous soon. First, I need to see a serious commitment by everyone out there. The response has been good, but I still need more pics of boats, and a few volunteers to write articles (i.e. rigging, experiences, chartering, etc.). I will also ask Parker to add some content (i.e. a little more in depth of the history of their boats, how Linwood was inspired, etc.). I hope that OUR website will be really good- I just need some help. In the future, we would probably want to sell T-shirts or hats on the site to make it financially self-sufficient. I am also looking for a few computer savvy volunteers to help with the maintenance.... I am by no means an expert, and neither must anyone else be. This is not a commercial site, so it's not required. I hope to fish with many of you in the future, on your boat or mine.

I don't actually use their logo anywhere (except for pictures of boats that have the logo attached). The domain name will change soon to pilothouses.org because it excludes too many boats. I originally got the idea from Betram31.com. The website I put up is a non-commercial website that is for Parker pilothouse owners to share info and pictures. The old domain name will still resolve to the website temporarily. Overall I think that this is good for Parker's image- we all know that Parker owners love their boats- the website confirms this.

Fortunately there are no "executives" at Parker, just down-to-earth good people. They were excited to check out the site, and asked me not to change the name just yet (I offered to give up the domain preemptively). I think that the pilothouses.org domain is probably a better choice anyway, to avoid excluding too many boats. I hope to get some interesting material and feedback directly from Parker soon.
Thanks for your interest!

I agree with you- a plastic thru-hull below the water line with no sea**** or access plate is frightening!
Just curious- what was the fitting for (what was it draining- an accessory-i.e head or a standard part of the boat- i.e. forward nuisance bilge pump?) Where is it located? Care to write about the actual flaw in detail? We can't have 23s going down at the dock around here! What did you do to remedy the situation? Was it fixed?
