I was just pointing out what the Parker dealer said when I asked the
question. which seemed to run counter to what some of the bay boaters
were postulating.


The thing the struck me most about the Parkers at the last 2 boat shows, is
the ugly color. Looks like an old yellowed gel coat. The 30-40 year old
look is actually OK with me, but the color is a killer. As to the look, we
had a twin o/b 23' Magnolia cuddy Cabin in about 1959-1962 range. Very
similar look and maybe because of the good times on that boat, always
thought it was a nice design. An open back cabin to get out of the weather
and a nice open, decent sized deck in the back for fishing. And the open
back cabin was more an extension of the fishing deck.
