Thanks. The second station is great while docking or when the water is rough, because it is about where a center console would be, Except that in a stiff cross-breeze from the starboard side, you'll get soaked. I'd take the bumpy dry cabin, over the soft, wet aft controls any day of the week. Remember, I own Whalers. They're a bit bumpy...but the ride is very dry. and the aft portion of the boat leaves the water with less frequency than the forward portion, as it were. It's also convenient when trolling rigs. That's what I like it for. It's darn near impossible to fish from a a pilothouse design when you're trolling lures by yourself. Getting wet while out boating has never been something I worry about much. You don't worry because you don't get wet? Or you don't mind getting wet? I haven't been on a boat yet, that isn't a little wet when the winds and seas are up. I've been on 1000 ft. long cruise ships where the spray was hitting the Promenade deck...and higher. |
That is a really nice boat Harry.
I ahve ehard of a Parker, but don't really know that much about them. Are they comparable (construction or other...) to a Grady White or a Boston Whaler? Tim |

Are they comparable (construction or other...) to a Grady White or a Boston Whaler? Tim My local dealer, who handles both, has told me several times that the Gradys and the Parkers are built from almost identical methods and materials, but that the Parkers are "sturdier." I have no way to verify that. What is obvious, though, is that the Gradys have a higher level of finish and incorporate more custom stainless hardware and other fittings. To my mind, finish on the Whalers is down a few rungs from what you see on a Grady. The construction of Whalers and Gradys, however, is totally different. I've seen cross-sections of both brands; they looked about identical in construction to me. I've been out in rough seas in Gradys and Parkers, and the similar models ride and handle about the same. The smaller and mid-size Gradys have a footwell channel running alongside the cabin. In Harry's pictures, it doesn't look like the Parker has the channel. Personally, I don't like the channel because if you take green water over the bow it doesn't roll off the sides. It runs in the channels and fills the cockpit. I've had a foot of standing water in the cockpit of the 23' Gulfstream I used to own. My Whaler 25' Outrage Cuddy is much safer in a head sea with close-spaced breaking waves. I've stuffed the bow on the Whaler, and it rolls off like a duck...with no water in the cockpit. If I were in a center console, or a Grady walk-around, I'd be standing in knee-deep water...and in most other boats, I'd sink. I don't see how you can go wrong with a Whaler, a Grady, or a Parker. They're all fine fishing boats. I sure wouldn't mine owning one of the new Grady 33s or 36s. Sweet boats. I've had my eye on the Grady 33 for awhile now. It'll sleep 5 in a pinch...which is perfect for my family and weekends in the Keys. You can buy some '02's and '03's right now for $170-190k...but they're powered with 225 Yamaha four-strokes. According to the manufacturer, the boat can run 40-42 mph with those engines. Not bad. What I don't like is that the optimum cruising speed is just over 24 mph at 4000 RPM. That's means there's a lot of wear and tear on the motors if the boat is run 30+mph most of the time. Most of the people I'll be travelling with cruise 30-35 mph. I want a boat that will cruise at 30 mph with the engine speed at 4000 or less...so I'll probably wait to see performance numbers on the 33 with Yammie 250 four-strokes...and wait until used ones hit the market in a couple of years. The 36 is beautiful, but I don't like the idea of having to maintain 3 engines. |

It looks like the kind of home you see on COPS.

So what is more valuable....his house, his new asphalt driveway or his 25
foot fishing boat on trailer? I think it is a tie between the driveway and the fishing boat. "Yo Ho" wrote in message ... It looks like the kind of home you see on COPS.
