The Parker is a nice hull. It doesn't have a lot of deadrise though. What you'll find out is; a boat that gives a soft ride generally isn't real stable at rest and vice versa. The Seacraft is a very nice ride with its variable deadrise. Though it's copied by several manufacturers now, it's somewhat unique. Great hull design. Very much sought after. haven't seen too many that weren't "projects". I know we have a few SC owners here on the site and hope they don't bash me for having said that. I would like one myself.

Parker's are a nock off of the old sea ox..a real work horse..not really made for zipping around in fast...they have a semi-v bottom..it's a very good stable work platform... .very little roll...but do pound in a quartering sea as only the bow has the v and flatten's out about mid-ships with a flat bottom in the stern. Also good for shallow water as it doesn't draw alot of water and get's up on plane faster because of the flat bottom.

20' seacraft..deep v....bring on the 4 footer's w/white caps...good for two when fishing....115 to 150 hp....turn your base ball cap backwards or lose it.

BOAT fish do count.
