Title: Parker 21' SE Center Console boats
Post by: bassnblues on August 03, 2010, 09:25:43 AM
Does anyone have experience running these boats or a similliar style in the Raritan Sandy Hook area?

I'm toying with the idea of moving to one for next year. I currently have a 21' Hydra Sprorts CC. The Parker is a little different style with lower freeboard and a semi V hull. I like the simplicity of the Parkers and they have a good rep. I was wondering how they perform in the deep and often rough waters.

I primarily fish the bay and sometimes go out to Romer, Flynns, just off the beach and have gone out to the Shrews Rocks a few times. I'm not really interested in offshore deepwater stuff and don't really feel the need for anything bigger than 21'.

Any advise is appreciated.

I saw the "Lucky Star" in her slip last Fri.

Nice boat !

My Friend TJ has a 23 ft CC Parker.

The boat is located close to the Morgan Bridge.

I have been out on the comfort zone many times and out of all the Center consoles I fished on nothing comes close to the CC Parker.The boat cuts through the water like a sharp pair of Scissors.

Smooth dry ride !

My dad has the 18cc Parker, Bought it new 11 years ago,  Nice solid boat, I think the 21' or 23' would serve you well.
