"Docked behind my house in Crystal River, FL. Thanks for a great product!"

"Here is a picture of bull shark caught in the Florida Keys. It was caught on the 2006 21 Parker a friend of ours let us use. We fished it hard for 5 days (10-12 hours a day) in some very heavy seas. We caught several dolphin, kings, sharks and a nice sail. We caught this bull on the last day of our trip. It towed us around for 2 hours. The 150 Yamaha was great. Five days of fishing, we only used 60 gallons of fuel. I estimated it must be getting 4-5 miles per gallon. Great boat, two thumbs up. The crew of the Lady Ineeda. Please print picture in your web site as our friend, owner of boat, will a big kick out of it. Thanks again."

"Here is a picture of the fish that we caught to win the Carolina Beach Tournament 52.85 lbs. Again, I have enjoyed the boat and we keep getting compliments on it. Have a great day."

"The crew on the Get'em Rosie safely boated this nice 214lb Thresher out at the Coimbra on July 4th 2006. It was the first shark boated for this little Parker!"

"I've had Miss Tree -- my Parker 2520xl -- for two years now and it is the best all around boat on the Chesapeake Bay. For fishing, it just cannot be beat -- as the photo of my buddy Jay Kalagher with the rockfish he caught last week demonstrates. We put a kicker on the boat which is great for trolling. The outdoor steering station insures that I am as close to a screaming rod as any of my guests!

"Since I am married and the father of three girls, the idea of a fishing boat originally did not go over very well. But the pilot house for sudden showers, tons of deck space for the sunning of teenage-to-be girls, a 225 engine that pulls a tube as good as any ski boat and gets us across the Bay in short order, and a hull that makes light of 3 foot seas and keeps all of us dry has converted all critics.

"I've fallen in love with my boat but confess to having wandering eye. I have seen what I hope will be my next boat -- the 2820xl with twin 250s. Do you think if I buy one, outfit it the same as my current boat, and give it the same name, my wife will believe my 2520xl simply grew three feet?"

"My wife and I moved up to a Parker two years ago and it has been THE BOMB! Because of my work schedule I can only fish during the cold months and now I do so in complete comfort. Chasing the striper migrations off the coast was never a possibility before, but now we can. Our 2120 is so good on fuel and economical that it makes my fishing buddies just shake their heads in disbelief. Cruising down the interstate with the Parker in tow always results in a continuous parade of people slowing down to look, and giving me the thumbs up. My wife and I used to go car camping a lot, but now we just hook the boat up to the truck and spend the weekends on the water. No more boat envy. What a pleasure! What a life! What a boat!"

"The first season with my Parker 2320SL Sport Cabin is now behind me, filled with many great memories. As the sun has now set on last season, my thoughts shift to all the new adventures that lie ahead. I believe that my Parker experience involves much more than the fiberglass, metal and assorted other materials that went into into its construction. I'm confident your other customers agree. Thank you!"

"Just want to say how much I love my 2510 Parker. I fish the Chesapeake Bay and we love all the room, four or five people and we never get in anyone's way. Been caught in some bad weather but she always makes it back and we never feel unsafe. She can take anything the Chesapeake can dish out. Parker builds one tough boat!" "When it's family day out, my wife and kids make their home out of it and take it over."

"It was their maiden voyage, 33 Striper."
