I"ve got Parker's on the brain. Anybody out there own one? I've seen em at Jacobsens and I saw one on the water today....looks good.

I thought Parker was a internet personailty.

I have a buddy that has one and I have fished out of it several times on the Columbia.

Nice boat but other than that I can't teel ya much about it.

If you want some discussion on Parker vessels, go to "Thehulltruth.com" web page and check it out. Do a search and you will find lots of stuff, mostly east coast stuff. Check out some of the hurricane damage on that site. I do have a friend that has a Parker and it is a very nice boat.

Fellow board member "Bucket" is a friend of mine who has a Parker (23'??) and it is an awesome boat! He calls it a poor man's Grady! Tons of deck room for two buds to air-guitar "Freebird" too, , and it handles the rough water very well!

Seastrike,
I have a 1991 23' WA. I really like the boat, have had no problems with it other than it doesn't wash and wax itself.

Seastrike,
Mr. NOFISH has hooked and landed a lot of fish aboard my Parker.

post a picture of one so we know what the hell yer talking about seastrike.....

...I'm gonna have to myself, aren't I?

....oh, alright...



you looking at these? or more at one of the CC models?

That is pretty sharp looking....

HA.

Bucket, when you headed to Barkley?

That's the boat....Nice.

Sol,
The boat is sitting and waiting for me to arrive on Wednesday. Hopefully NOFISH can get away from the desk and come along. How was your trip yesterday?

Sol,
If I email you a photo can you post it so seastrike can see a real Parker?

Bucket
Go ahead and email directly to me.

Thanks,

I have a great boat right now...just want one with some coverage if you know what I mean.
Wish I had a pic of the Seastrike....http://www.seastrikeboats.com/products_home.htm
Here's the manufacture's page...I have the 205CC.
Nice boat but a little wet when it rains.

I just spent a long weekend on a friends Parker up in Ketchikan. He has a 1996 2330. Very nice boat. All business. Built like a tank. It cruised all day long at 26 knots with a 225 Yamaha. Handled 3-5 foot wind waves at 20 knots with ease. I on the other hand was green and at the edge of puking all day!

Best boat out there for the money. I helped a friend find and purchase one of the 25' models and it is the nicest fishing platform I have been on in that size category. I swear there is room for a ping pong table on the aft deck. To many options to list but a sweet boat for sure.

Ok, now Parker wants a Parker!

How can I not like any boat that has my name on the side of it??

I want one......

Kyle
Was that Pat's boat in Ktn?

Grandpa

I did not see any pricing information on the web site. Do you know approx how mucy a 22 foot goes for like the one pictured above?

seastrike.........Do I know you? Yes, it was Pat's boat in Ketchikan.

I actually don't know Pat. His boat was pointed out to me by the gal I'm dating while were in KTN in June (she's from Ktn.). She also pointed out Sean's new aluminum boat...both are nice.
Dave
It's a small world.

Seastrike, if you get a Parker just don't under power it like Bucket did.

Are you going to post the picture?

Sol,
I got mine used and it was powered the way it is. I wouldn't say it's under powered but for safety I'd like some more. Besides how would you know you've never been aboard?

NOFISH told me so.

NOFISH is full of you know what!

Thanks to everyone for their input and information. Thanks also for the pics emailed to me directly. They certainly are nice boats.
I do beleive this will be my next boat. Now which one....I have a year to think about it.
And Sol on the Duk...I still don't know how to post pics. If you want to check out a Seastrike go to their website. Mine is the 205CC. I love it-but want something with a cabin and more cockpit.
