The Parker, to my eye, is a slightly better looking boat.

While form is junior to function, the cabin top on the Zimmerman is too
long and flat. It's hard to tell from the stern quarter view, but if
there's much vertical curve at all in that sheer line the boat boat
will appear to have been designed by a group of separate committees.



Ahh...Zimmerman actually is a boat finisher, and at a high level. He
buys some of his hulls from Maine fiberglass fabricators, and I think he
buys some tops there, too. Most of the hull forms are Spencer Lincoln
designs. Lincoln designs hulls for many Maine builders. What he does is
build a very, very plush and heavy lobster boat cruiser.

One Lincoln hull design for a 36' lobster boat planes at more than 50
mph, with an 800 or 900 hp diesel.


The Parker superstructre is slightly chunky forward, but not
objectionably so. The stubby house and foredeck permit a far more
fishable cockpit in this vessel with a modest LOA.



The downside of these far-forward pilothouses is that you know when
you're in choppy water. That's one of the reasons why I ordered mine
with the optional rear control station. Though it is adjacent to the
starboard gunnel, it is situated about where a center console would
be...so when the water chops up, if you drive the boat from the rear
station, it's like driving a center console, and you're where the boat
up and down movement is minimal. The problem is, you can't really see
over the cabin top too well, so you kinda peer around the cabin.

The rear control station is great for trolling and for docking, though.


Just saving:-)

Good for you, Mama Tuuk.
