Factory Tour

In the final stages, the interior of each hull is hand-sanded in the grinding booth. Each hull then returns to the gel booth for a non-glare, satin interior finish.

Parker decks are hand-laid much like the hulls and reinforced with "Select Boat Panels." These reinforcement parts are pattern-cut with feather ground edges, bedded in fiberglass, then totally encapsulated in fiberglass.

In the pre-finish area, each fiberglass part undergoes a thorough cosmetic and structural inspection before being allowed to continue through the production line. All parts are trimmed and indexed to predetermined measurements for proper fit and ease of installation. Cutouts are made using molded splashes and precision fitted jigs with router tracks, so that every cut is accurate time after time, maintaining tight seals and watertight integrity of windows and hatches on every Parker. Welded stainless steel bow rails are thru-bolted onto crisp molded deck toe-rails, and navigation lights are pre-installed to complete the pre-assembly rigging and ready the parts for the final assembly process.
