That's a home brew jack plate. I've seen something similar to it, but
not exact.

Is that stern modified? It looks a little different.


It's a 23' Parker SE. That means it started out life with a cut-out
transom. The owner had the transom redone inside and out and added the
bracket so he could use it for flats fishing. The glass work looks
pretty good in the photo. Why the guy went through the expense (and it
was considerable-the bracket alone was about $800) is beyond me. If he
wanted a flats boat, he should have bought one.

Why would someone go to all of the trouble and expense of redoing the
transom of a Parker?
