I bought a Parker 23' SE w/200hp Yamaha 4 stroke and recessed trim tabs. This boat rides very well when trimmed properly. The flared bow keeps you dry even in a nice chop. Cruise at 29 mph and burn 7 gallons/hour. I fished into late December, lots of wind and chop, however, stayed dry.

It has a 35 gallon live well integrated into the leaning post. 55 square feet of casting in the bow and 35 in the stern. There is plenty of room behind the seat for a large cooler.

Parker makes a no frills boat. Great for no frills fishermen. Less fancy stuff to break.

Don's in Tiverton will give you a sea-trial.

Good luck!
