If I sell my current boats, I'm looking at a couple of 30-32
footers, one a "name brand," and the other built over on the
Eastern Shore. After many years, I've decided that is the
optimum size for what I want to do on the water, especially
since I'm usually the only person aboard with boat-handling
skills, and larger boats typically require at least one
additional crew member willing to learn line-handling. Most of
my fishing buddies feel at the top of their form if they can get
into the boat without falling off the dock.
We know what you are looking to get for the Parker.

How much for the 36 footer? What is she equipped with?
crickets
Yep.

Are you under the delusion I read all of your posts here? Is Dumbo
Dan?

The answers: Under $500,000 and everything.




You provided exact details on what was on your 25 footer yet details
of what is on the more luxurious 36 footer is a big secret.

Go figure.

Happy New Year Harry.
No, I didn't provide "exact details." I provided general details.
Exact details would have been sigificantly more "exact."

Our Parker is a factory production boat. Its particulars are available
on-line at the manufacturer's site. We have some options and I've
added a few. That's all there is to that song.

Why would you care about the price or options on either boat. You're
not a prospective purchaser. I don't recall asking you about the
financial transactions or complete equipment lists relating to your
boat.

You did not have to. A full web page with pictures and description was
listed on the net. In fact, you used that source to find out my full
name and phone number. Remember?

Regardless Harry, here is a detailed listing of what was on our 32
footer when we sold it:





SPECS
· Twin 5.7L 260 hp Merc with Bravo 2 outdrives

· LOA 34'9"

· Beam 11'0"

· Dry weight 10,800 lbs

· Deadrise 17 degrees

· Fuel Capacity 186 US gallons
Is that right? 186 gallons? That seems awfully small for a boat that
size with twin gas engines.

Dan



Yep. It is not a bluewater boat but well suited for the Great Lakes.


About the same fuel capacity as a 25' Parker.


Great. How much on your 36 footer, or is that some sort of secret also?
