moderate chop, nice ride.....rought water will beat you to death in the cabin, the guys in the cockpit are all asleep........

6 guys can fish this boat easy for grouper. Trolling we need a set of outriggers.....eight lines could be run without a problem.

no
Would you buy this boat again or recommend it to a friend?
yes
What would you say this boat is worth in its current condition?
$40,000.00
What other boat would you have bought for roughly the same money if you had it to do over again and why?
.....I'd save and buy a Mirage.
Add any other details or comments you think people should know about this boat if they are considering buying one like it:
For the price I don't think you can get a better boat than the Parker.
