What a great boat. mostly offshore, but some inshore too. inshore, anything besides bottom fishing or trolling really sucked. even pogie fishing was annoying, because you don't have 360 degree access to throw at the schools. once you have pogies it is fine. but the lure of the cabin is super strong. so I know where you are coming from. I have always leaned towards the parker.
A boat like the one Sandman used to have, mirage 32, is best of both worlds... but $$$

Zac this is our argument. My fishing style is very similar. I plug topwater for bass, fish eels, occasionally botom fish, and live to run and gun for pelagics in the fall. A boat with a cibin does not fit my needs. But i do like the idea of spenidng weekends on block and cutty with the wife. im still a couple years away from making a decision. But its winter and I figured we could use some good boat talk.
