Default Boats, boats and more boats...

Oh give it up Harry.

sigh He never will, you know that. His will always be bigger, faster, more
stable, taste better, etc, etc, etc. AND... he will always defend his
position to the death... he's NEVER wrong. :-

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. :)
