Why Parker doesn't put some styling on their boats is beyond me - in
particular for the money they want for it. Thing looks like somebody
put a box on top of a box with a pointy thing at one end then painted
it one solid color of dull beige.
I'm sure if you begged, Parker would metalflake a hull, put stripes on
the cabin, and maybe add tailfins on the gunnels. Then you would have
yourself a boat as stylish as...a Ranger. :}
Here's a Parker.

Here's a similar Steiger.

Ain't no comparison - the Steiger has some style and flair to it.

Even in monochrome.
And much, much less quality where it counts.

Oh give it up Harry. Steigers are a high quality boat.

I've seen Steigers and Parkers side by side and have crawled aboard both.

So have I.

Steigers are the equal of a Parker in every sense with one exception.

They have some style.

But some buyers are interested in flash, and others are not.

Parker owners have no sense of style. :)

Well, that part of your statement may be true.
