The Everglades boat looked a bit top-heavy anyway, and rafts look to
be about 60-100 lbs, depending.
It is ironic that very few boats under 35 ft carry life rafts but they
are the ones that most need them. There are soft pack rafts that
weigh less than 50 lbs. All life rafts however have a significant
hidden expense: They must be repacked and recertified every 1 to 3
years depending on the manufacturer and model.
It's part of the same logic that leads people to think that a smaller
boat needs smaller bilgepumps.

Indeed.

One aspect of the Parkers I've owned that I appreciated is their
bone-dry bilges. Unless I open a hatch and pour water down into it, I
don't seem to get any water into the bilges of my 21-footer. There's no
liner. I supposed if I started filling up the center console, at some
point water would go down the rigging tubes into the bilge, but that
doesn't happen a whole lot.

???

What does that have to do with what I said?

Nothing. What you post is insignificant at best.

You gotta give him a little credit though. At least he now admits that HK's
posts are insignificant as well. Someone mentions something about a bilge
pump, and mr. me me me has to chime in about his parker POS. Hairy is
predictable to say the least.
