Coszie has it nailed...
It all depends on how you intend to use the boat, and what your skill or patience level is.
The DV hull is awesome in the steep chop, but it must run faster than the MV to stay on plane, and it requires more horsepower in order to do that. Most MV's will be outfitted with single motors, while most DV's will require twins.
If you don't mind slowing down... the MV can give you a few advantages.
The MV can stay on plane in heavy weather, with
proper trim tabs, at 10 kts. It will also also roll much less on the troll, or at drift.
A DV will give a softer ride at speed, while the MV will be less tender at drift or while on the troll.
So... it all depends on what you want. The cool thing with a Parker is... that you can have whatever you want depending on how you want to use the boat, and that is a good thing!
