small enough for me to easily single-hand which I do a lot. The older
I get, the happier I am to not have a larger boat. This past 6 months
is the first time I have ever had her in a marina ( I kept her at pvt
docks for years) and I have noticed what I have heard about for years,
"A boats use is inversely proportional to her length". Do others here
have a simialr experience of realizing they do not want a bigger boat?

I go through the 'bigger boat' desires every year. After a while I
convince myself
that the 21'er I've got does what I want to do just fine.

But, if Harry were to make me a super deal on that Parker, I'd give it
serious
thought.



There's a boat similar to mine on Boat Trader for $69,000. It has a lesser
engine, a lesser trailer, but has radar. Might be an "equivalent." Assume
for the moment it is. What's your best offer?



How can anyone make an offer on a boat that they have not recently inspected
and given a detailed list on the hours, maintenance, accessories and
options?

One listing in Boat Trader does not set a price baseline.

What is your present asking price?
