Chris, Thanks for the information. Most of the Pilothouse boats we fish here on the West Coast (Farallon, Davis, Osprey, Parker) have the helms forward like this, so they're all about the same comparing apples to apples. I had a 28' Albin a few years ago. That boat was a bit heavier, with a deeper for-foot, but only 16 degree deadrise. However, the helm was about 3 feet aft of where it is on the Parker. That boat went through the snot like a tank, but it was slow. I imagine that if I'm cruising the Parker at 16/17 knots like the Albin, the ride wouldn't be that much different. Thanks again. I'm sure your boat will sell soon. It is definately the best deal on the net. Bill | ||||
