Still a prototype, and equipped with twin 350-hp Yamahas.

Spec's include:

400 gallons of fuel
11'9" beam
6'7" headroom centerline cabin
45 gallons +/- fresh water
Stand-up shower/head and sink
50's top speed
Mid 30's cruise
Mid-berth
Forward berth
Cabin berth
Fridge/Freezer/Micro
Tuna door in transom

Not a boat I'd want with outboards, and I'm not that serious a fisherman
to run this sort of boat, but...I'll be glad to hitch a ride on one when
it shows up at my local dealer's!
That is truly nice, I would suppose but in the gulf waters or even the
lower eastern seas, how would you get any ventilation in that cabin ,
I would think that even with the windows open it would, or at least
could get quite stuffy in there. I didn't really look at the spec's
really well but does it have an OB generator and air conditioning?

Haven't seen complete specs, but I suspect there is room for a genny and
there is an a/c option for those who want it. The cabin front and side
windows open and back window (I'm guessing on that one) open.


Seems Parker has "softened" the design shape by rounding out windows and
doors getting away from that traditional Parker box on a box look. Looks
good.

The hull still seems boxy and a bit slab sided to me though.

I'm sure it is still boxy and slab sided...that's part of Parker's
"retro" charm to those who like the boats...the complete opposite of
"bubble" boats! :)
