You should have considered one of these if you really believe hull
weight is that much of an advantage. Note the *full* transom complete
with a bracket.

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.

Both worked for me, and if I had to choose, money being no object, I'd
choose the Parker.

Nice looking boat - a little too much cabin for my taste.
