Let's talk hulls

[parker23]

I am on my 3rd season w/my Parker23se. I love this boat. Trim tabs combined w/a few clicks of motor trim is the key to a good ride. It took me a full season to learn how to trim the boat in the range of sea conditions you encounter throughout the year. I am rarely forced to drop my speed under 18 knots due to water conditions. Cruising speed in 28 knots at 7 gallons per hour, can’t do that with a 21 degree deadrise.
Granted, I have had a few wet/bumpy rides home but slamming really isn’t an issue.

I fish very tight to the rocks in turbulent water and she sits very well. Stable enough for me to get a fly into the white water and get to the controls to get out when I get too close.
This is my 4th boat over 20' and is by far the best. A few members have been out w/me in lovely November weather and they were very impressed with a ten mile ride home in a nasty cold water chop.
