Secondly, if you are lost and come to a fork in the road, which one do
you take?

Answer: The right one





Unfortunately, the few parkers I have seen with diesels have been I/O's,
which I would not touch with a 10' Pole...or Ukrainian.

I talked to some folks at the Parker factory about a "straight" diesel,
but was told there was really no reason for one now, what with the high
horsepower four cycle outboards. This was three or four years ago.

Sometime next year Parker will be introducing a new, 34' pilot house
with twin 350 hp Yamaha outboards. At that size and weight, it ain't a
boat I would want to trailer or operate with outboards. A 600 hp
straight diesel with a small keel/prop pocket, though, would be very
nice in that boat.
