I'm planning to refurb this 18 Parker which I purchased a few weeks ago. Trying to gather information first.
Looking at the NADA guide it looks like in 1990 Parker made this boat in two configurations, an "18 Commercial" and an "18 Sport". Given the 300 lb weight difference between the two configurations, I am guessing the "Commercial" had no center console, but was a tiller drive model with a big open floor. As you can see from the pics, my boat has no center console and there is a plate riveted into the floor whether the center console would be.
Is mine a "commercial" model or did mine originally have a center console, that has been removed?
Thanks in advance for your help.
