A Soon to be Parker Owner

[nausetlight]

Hello everyone, I am in the market for a Parker 21 SE, either new or slightly used for use along the North Shore of Massachusetts. I recently sold my last boat a 1998 Grady Gulfstream powered with a Yamaha 250 OX66. I have owned mostly Gradys for saltwater use , I have seen the decline in quality as the prices have skyrocketed and have given up on Grady. Having shopped Steiger, May Craft and Parker, I have found that the resale/purchase price ratio is second to none with the Parkers.
The most frustrating thing so far has been trying to get a quote from an out of state dealer to compare with a local dealer. They call it protecting the dealers area, I call it price fixing. How would it protect the dealers area if I were to buy a competitors boat instead of being forced to buy from someone just because you live in the state. ridiculous

Boats pop up on there all the time, although this time of year is considered the slow part of the boat sales season... :wink:
