All Parkers are foam-filled under the deck.
As they are linerless boats, there's no foam in the hullsides. But
there's enough foam injected to keep the boat afloat.
Under 20 feet, the Coast Guard requires that they must be rated for
passenger, gear and maximum horsepower capacity limits. They are also
required to have built-in flotation. Boats over 20 feet long are not
subject to standards for passenger, gear and maximum horsepower and
have no flotation requirements.
Buying a boat withougt flotation, is like buying an aeroplane with no
wings. Commercial vessel maybe, but a passenger vessel with no
flotation, if you sink, you deserve it.
Ask Wayne B. about the amount of flotation in his trawler.
Teak floats.
