Nice review. All boats have compromises on some features based on mission, costs and size. This one try’s to have all, overnight, pilot house for cooler/wetter rides, fishing deck size . It does try too much with rear folding seat, trying to make it more of a socialize day cruiser but takes away from its fishing first design. Parker’s are still a nice true pure fish boat for cooler climate fishing. I generally only fish on good weather days and do a bit more cruiser activities with no overnights onboard so I got a CC. I also like ease of docking and trolling by myself that a CC affords with great visibility and quick rail/rod access from CC helm.

@ 3:03 Looking at the underneath coaming, I guess that's what you call it, there is a separation on the caulking. I'm sorry Parker guys, but I'm not impressed with the finish work. I personally like Parkers but just looking at the video at 3:03, there is so much wasted space underneath that pilot seat. How bout a storage box under the seat with drawers? Throw a "shock wave" under that seat or a better setup. This is just my two cents, I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but looking at the pictures there is room for improvement in my opinion. A killer tackle drawer behind that seat would be pisser.

What are the fishing predictions for this year ?

I have a Grady w/a and I'm getting ready to move to a pilot house I've been looking, I'm leaning towards Defiance

I'm glad I didn't wait for this boat. The fish boxes are tiny and the cabin was very small and unless your a midget you arent going to slieep on that birth, its tiny. I'm only 5'9" and my feet were hanging over then end by 2 feet. Glad I got the best boat for so Cal- Davis 25 bahia.

Worst Place go put batteries, in the bulge ….. what are you guys thinking?

I bet that boat ride rough with seating in the front.

Nice review! Some Defiance inspired additions to this new model except one I really like on my 220EX - Batteries and switch gear located in the cab in vented storage. Unless you have second station in the cockpit, what is the purpose of all that space behind the helm? Is there enough space for a second inboard facing jump seat?

What's the height on trailer?

Gotta compare them to Steiger and other similar.

Is the cockpit larger than the 2320? I wish Parker had overhead drawings of their boats (they used to have to on the web site but no more)!

Can you get the optional helm?

I've spent time alot on boats from Parkers to Rangers, Conch, Contender, Sea Hunters, Freeman and hands down the Parker has always been one of the most uncomfortable rides. Frankly they ride terrible. Compared to everything I listed. Most guys who have owned them have moved on.

parker was sold to a investment conglomeration not the same i have a 2016 25 ft walk around you can see they are cutting corners on finish 23 ft is their flagship this is a new model dont buy not the same company

The Porta potty is out in the open like that? I guess you don’t need privacy? 😳
