Love em, all over their whole line up at the NJ Boat show last week.
But ::)
No fish boxes, no bait wells, they don't believe in putting them in or cutting into the floor in any way.
If you don't specify you want the high notch 30" shaft outboard the transom is horribly low and even the saleman told me that has always been one of their major complaints.
Still use all wood in the construction when lighter and stronger materials been around and are being used sucessfully and are impervious to moisture.
The boat design is beautiful but you are paying mostly for the name.
The Steiger Craft in the same size seems like it is built as well if not better and for less money
JMHO
 
I like the Maycraft's also, Rumor has it that Maycraft was started by someone from Parker thus the similarities. The Maycraft looks like just as much boat for a lot less money.
 
Lynwood Parker makes these boats and the 25 is a very big seller. I guess his plant is less than a mile from my house so I always see them sitting out front getting ready for shipment and it seems that they are popular. I've never been on one but they look to be in the same class as Grady White and Albemarle. The Game Commission and watermen down here love them. Frank

There is no point in me reading a thread that Capt Bent posts in, as soon as I get to his avatar I quit reading
 
Imagine one of the Capt's avitars at each one of those triple stations. Men have stroked out for less.
