Default Re: 248 Offshore

The thing with Parkers is they make two different dead rises. Same size boat. I rode on one thru Manasquan Inlet when pretty tough and the boat was sweet and stable and did not pound in the chop at all. I was talking with the fellow who owned her about it because earlier in the summer I fished on what I thought was the same boat in Raritan Bay in a decent(normal) chop and it was a jolting experience. He said it was and again was not the same boat, Parker offered the same boats in two different dead rises and it makes a huge difference like I had seen. Just something to keep in mind, because of the three you showed there my preference would be for that Parker, just built better IMHO, and after years of similar use they hold up better from what I see. Just have to find one with the deeper deadrise.
