I don't have a Parker.. I saw one at the show however, the
sides looked like the washboard my mom did laundry with when I was a
kid and there was a hole in the ass end you could drive a Volkswagen
through.. Oh yeah, they put a little plastic board across the back at
the same height as the transom..


I checked out their website. Many of their boats have the engines on
brackets, and the transom is as high as the sides. I like the ones
with a pilothouse, which run 3 to 7 feet long. You can get a flush
toilet on the 26 footer. I think one or more of their boats would make
an OK coastal cruiser. Are the ripples that bad?

I've owned two new parkers. No ripples. JustHate is just being his usual
asshole-ish self.

My first parker was a 25-footer with a flush toilet in the forward part
of the pilothouse.

The parkers are a step down from gradys in finish, but I think they are
stronger.
