Not sure what you mean by 'no match'. Size wise, that's for sure. But, for a 22'er, it's got a *lot* of deck room. I could force myself to get by! Should one get the itch for *real* adventure, which would be the better boat for a Cortez challenge? Please define adventure. Please define Cortez challenge. It's a legit question. I believe a *trailerable* boat should be truly trailerable...and seaworthy. The boat should open up non local waters. The Cortez challenge presents such a test, a true shake 'n bake. This test involves trailering the boat to San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. The boat is then launched and makes a 100-mile crossing of the Sea of Cortez to Santa Rosalia, a former mining village with a French influence, in Baja California Sur. The boat is then tested as a fishing platform while going after the great variety of gamefish abundant in the Gulf. Now I believe the Parker would fail miserably in this test. The Grady would win the day. Why would a 25' Parker fail and a 22' Grady win? -- John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** Because Harry owns a Parker. |
