Harry,
How many hours are there on your Parker?

We all occasionally wish for a larger boat but would we really buy
one
if we were able? I have decided "No", my 28' S2 is ideal for me. A
larger boat would have more to go wrong and require more expense.
My
28 is ideal for me as she is large enough to do a lot of things but
small enough for me to easily single-hand which I do a lot. The
older
I get, the happier I am to not have a larger boat. This past 6
months
is the first time I have ever had her in a marina ( I kept her at
pvt
docks for years) and I have noticed what I have heard about for
years,
"A boats use is inversely proportional to her length". Do others
here
have a simialr experience of realizing they do not want a bigger
boat?
I go through the 'bigger boat' desires every year. After a while I
convince myself
that the 21'er I've got does what I want to do just fine.
But, if Harry were to make me a super deal on that Parker, I'd give
it serious
thought.
There's a boat similar to mine on Boat Trader for $69,000. It has a
lesser engine, a lesser trailer, but has radar. Might be an
"equivalent." Assume for the moment it is. What's your best offer?
I'd have to visit and talk to the folks at TriState. I wouldn't want to
give a number
without having made the decision to go for another boat, which would be
a big
decision for me (not like trading up from a D70 to a D200).

That *is* nice, and reasonably priced.
