Note the *full* transom complete with a bracket. http://www.dusky.com/boats/dus203xf.html BTW- They come in white. I like the looks of that 33 Fisharound. Don't care much for the brackets. You wouldn't like the fit and finish on those boats, or the aluminum railings on most of the models. I've never seen one. I'm not a big fan of brackets though and those look like the kind that I particularly don't like. A few of the guys around here have bought Defiance Boats http://www.defianceboats.com/ They are happy with them and about $25k less than a Parker. And they have a Transom. Kind of an ugly house, though. http://tinyurl.com/2kv63 |
