Great sales strategy Andre, there's nothing like experiencing a product to create desire for it.
Got any influence on my local Parker dealer in Argeles sur Mer to do something similar?

Andre, Yeah I recall it was a Sea Safari - a great ride!
Pity we cannot expect a Parker catalogue or a goodie bag but as it's on the Solent Riviera and only every 9 years I'll take pleasure in joining you and Ribber for a jolly!

Andre thank you. Great, very much looking forward to meeting you and seeing what a real rib can do.
Hi Solent Seadog, just you and me then so far, look forward to sharing a day out on the Solent.
I'm sure others will come forward before the week is out, weather is looking pretty good at the moment  what reason could you have for not going.

My mistake, sorry. There is a Parker Boats dealer there, I had assumed it was the same Parker.
Interestingly, they even have the same logo!

The same Parker only our range of hard boats and I am not directly involved with that range. Some dealers have included Parker Ribs others have not like your local one.

First Parker Jolly
This was in 2009 and the route was Southampton Dry Stack - Portsmouth - Cowes - Southampton Dry Stack
This particular rib operated in Poole for approx 5 years and now enjoys life in the Bahamas visiting the Isle of Pigs and is part of Islandflyer's fleet,
Solent Seadog where are you in this photo?

A good decision to change the date . The weather looks good for this coming Saturday. I still have one jockey seat free and the aft bench seat for two persons for those undecided. Any takers?

Hi Andre
If jockey no5 is still available, could I take you up on your kind offer.
I have a 6.2m Shakespeare that I hoon around Poole harbour and all points west along the Jurassic coast.
I have often thought of upgrading to a larger rib, so the opportunity to experience an 8m beast I am sure will convince me.
Thanks Paul.
