Here is the tank rack assembly. I can squeeze 5 tanks on each side,
Its made by Roll Control and I had an aluminum fabricator mount them
flush because the gunwale is too high to bolt the plate directly on, not to mention the padding is in the way. In the pilot house deck there is a large compartment where a simple tank rack can accomodate 7 to 8 tanks stacked. Sorry for the dirt and sand in there.

More views of the pilot house show the simple propane burner, fridge,
sink and the table which can lower flush with the seats. With added cushions, it serves as another bunk.

nice setup. do you guys do barrell rolls over the side or giant strides off the back? also, how do you get back on board?

how do you get back on board?

I was wondering that myself.
Armstrong ladder?

Usually back roll off the gunwale and an armstrong ladder(I think thats the brand) that has a mount on the port engine /swim platform. I can climb it with full gear and fins while others take their tank, BC, and weight belt and fins off in the water before boarding.

Welcome Aboard ClassicParker! There's more than just a few of us here that appreciate the Parker design as the ultimate diving platform, rather than just an awesome fishing machine.

Be sure to check out THIS THREAD for a discussion of how the Flippered members of the ParkerHood gets the most out of their favorite sport aboard their rigs.
