I got an inflatable vest and found it surprisingly uncomfortable. I took it back and used the refund to buy a regular fisherman-type vest for 1/4 the price. It is much more comfortable (in the store, haven't tried in action yet) and seemed lighter. The fanny pack may be even more comfortable...

Woohoo! Congratulations! Hope you can get her on the water soon.

Well, price is always a factor, but I've found my budget creeping higher since I started considering these other boats :shock: . The Parker still looks like a great value in comparison. I really don't need a lot of frills and purposely want to avoid the velveteen/chandeliers/mirrors found on...

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I know it's a personal decision but I want to make sure it's a smart decision. I guess I'm seeking some input on the advantages and disadvantages of each option (like whether slowing down the Parker would help the ride much when it gets rough; or whether or not...

I know I'm asking a biased crowd ( :wink: ) but I'm still trying to decide on the right boat for me and I respect your opinions. I've been looking at Parkers for several months now and decided I'd like to get -- in order of preference: 2830, 2530, or 2520. However, during my "shopping" I...

Nice. Thanks! :D

Dinner! Congratulations, that's a beauty!

I may be interested. Did you change your name or did you buy it from Crusty? What engine is that? Hours? Electronics? Thanks.

Haha. Well, you know what they say about a bad day fishing... Plus, you still brought home dinner. Loved the video.

What do you use for a tow vehicle? I think I saw an Avalanche parked in front of it in one of your Craigslist photos.

Shoot. This one was on my short list. :( But I'm not surprised that it sold -- only that it took so long. Nice boat. Congrats Bryan.

Mmmmmm.... that beer looks pretty darn good right about now. Thanks for sharing. :wink: Nice looking fish too. Happy Thanksgiving!

Nice boat! Good luck with the sale. I'm not familiar with Suzuki outboards. Why did you guys choose Suzukis? Are there any advantages over other brands, like Yamahas? Was it pricing or warranty?

Dale, is your boat the same one that is in the first picture that shows on the classic parker main web page? If so, I love that picture. Classy looking boat.

I miss the Bay, but the weather is nicer and the fishing is a little better down here. We never have to winterize but it still gets a bit chilly here in the winter -- that's why I'm shopping for a sport cabin. Like you, I hate being cold. If you're coming to the Panama City, FL area during...
