18' Parker

I moved up this spring from a 16' tin boat to an 18' Parker. Very happy with the boat. Solid and economical with a 115 HP 4 stroke. This past month I have made runs over to Cuttyhunk and the Elizabeth's from Westport. However you do need to pick your days.

I looked at them all this past winter. Grady $$$, Jones Brothers, Hydrasport, etc.

I suggest that you take some out for a sea trial and see what you like.

I went to the hull truth website before I bought mine. Could not find anything negative about a Parker or Jones Brothers.

Fishing from an 18' Parker called "Moor-Sea"

Go w/ the Parker. I have a 2004 23se and love it. Simple, no frills fishing platform. Get trim tabs, makes a world of difference on smaller boats. Tom @ Don's Marine in Tiverton has some leftovers. They have awesome service.

Boat Junk Yards

I need to get rid of a 24 foot sport craft.
There is also a tandem trailer under it with 4 flat tires.
Does anyone know if there is a boat junk yard ?

I wish I knew of a boat grave yard!! I strip it like crazy!!

As for the Henry O they do not sell them any more They are a great boat!!
If you ever see one for sale take a look at it! Even if you have a boat already. They are very well made and take the water great!

Thank You Everyone!

Thanx for the advice..I ended up getting a great deal on an older whaler. It is 17', it came with a 90 Johnson, garmin fish finder, new battery, trailer, and all ready to fish. I'm taking in out tomorrow morning for the first time, I'll hopefully post a picture of my keepers.
