It looks like you have spent every weekend this year posting in
rec.boats, isn't it time you just sold YoHo?
I'd but it but for a couple of things.

1 - It's a Parker.

2 - It has a Yamaha.

Other than that, it's a nice boat...
I like the classic lines of the Parker, but really don't know how it
would do in chop or heavy seas. I own a Bubble Boat, which has great
room down below, but you do have to walk carefully on the cabin deck.
This is no big deal for me, since I am not a fisherman and really use
the boat for long weekends or just rafting up in a quiet cove.

I have a marininzed I/O, but I do like the simplicity of the 4 stroke,
have you compared the current weight of the 4 stroke vs 2 stroke engines?

My whole thing about Parker's is that for a no frills basic hole in
the water, they are way overpriced.

I have not seen them in person, but they do look over priced unless they
are built as a tank/battlewagon for bluewater fishing, which is hard to
imagine considering the size.
