I realize there's not many here interested in boats, but there might be
a few lurkers who are.
This is a factory-supplied photo of a new offshore *fishing* boat that
has just been launched by Parker. It is hull #1 of actual production.

Yes, those are twin Yamaha F350s on the bracket. The boat is a 34-footer
and does about 55 mph at WOT.
I don't know what the market is for this boat. It certainly isn't a
volume product.
The interior is far less Spartan than is usual with a Parker, but it is
still a fisherman's craft, so it isn't like your typical bubble boat in
the main or forward cabin. The head, sink and shower are enclosed,
there's a vee-berth forward, there's an actual mechanical/plumbing room.
Main cabin has a command chair and a large area for electronics. There's
a wrap around bench and table, and a sink, stove, refrigerator/freezer.
That's what is easily visible.
The cockpit has a large and pretty fancy (for Parker) 2nd command console.
Pretty hefty trailer and tow vehicle, probably NOT an F150.
I thought you tried to get people here to believe you are quite the
accomplished photographer?
There is so much wrong with that picture that I don't know where to
begin.

You missed the "factory supplied photo" part of his post.

Crikey...look at all the fun I am missing by filtering out Loogy and the
rest of the SevenLittleSchitts. :)
