When I puchased my boat the interior carpet was moldy and salty like you said.
I rented a carpet/ upolstery steam cleaner (the units they rent at Shaws).
It incorperates a wet vac. The thing worked great. Made short work of the project.
Our first day out April 15th. Portsmouth Harbor NH. Our four year old can't wait to go fishing. She was disappointed that Dad didn't bring fishing gear. So she used a hand line without a hook or bait. Good fun had by all.

Sorry I missed you guys. I was there 4 to close on Thursday. However I was chasing my four year old through every boat she could go on. Luckily she still likes our Parker........Stopped by the Parker booth several times and missed out. Was nice to see the Riverfront guys, Jim & Mike. I must...

Ryan,
I couldn't agree more with these guys, we bought our Parker for the kids. We have a three year old and a one year old. Both girls love the boat and love to anchor off the beach and swim in (With life jackets on). As far as fishing goes, maybe take a season off until your child is older...

Welcome to CP. I'm on the job next door at Local 3211. PM me if you would like to talk. We launch and moor in Portsmouth harbor. I'm always looking for another boat to go offshore with.
