I realize there's not many here interested in boats, but there might be
a few lurkers who are. This is a factory-supplied photo of a new offshore *fishing* boat that has just been launched by Parker. It is hull #1 of actual production. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...railerboat.jpg Yes, those are twin Yamaha F350s on the bracket. The boat is a 34-footer and does about 55 mph at WOT. I don't know what the market is for this boat. It certainly isn't a volume product. The interior is far less Spartan than is usual with a Parker, but it is still a fisherman's craft, so it isn't like your typical bubble boat in the main or forward cabin. The head, sink and shower are enclosed, there's a vee-berth forward, there's an actual mechanical/plumbing room. Main cabin has a command chair and a large area for electronics. There's a wrap around bench and table, and a sink, stove, refrigerator/freezer. That's what is easily visible. The cockpit has a large and pretty fancy (for Parker) 2nd command console. Pretty hefty trailer and tow vehicle, probably NOT an F150. |
