Finally counted all my aluminum can money, beer money, loose change, garage sale money, etc., and have gotten the gumption to go searching for a "gently used," well cared-for Parker. Found a few nice ones for sale but confused by prices. Looking at NADA, there is a vast difference between the...

Please don't throw anything at me! I've wanted a Parker pilothouse since the first time I ever saw one (Shallotte, NC) and maybe getting to the place where I might buy a used but well maintained one. I have gotten all sorts of advice about looking at other manufacturers but the most "advised"...

Got the bug again and looking for a 2120SC or 2320SC (got to have something trailerable) at a somewhere near reasonable figure. In other words I don't want a project boat - had enough of those. Probably won't do any round the world adventures but would like something for occasional fishing or...
