Saw a beautiful dual console Parker in Taylor Creek yesterday. Took a cell phone pic, but it's too big to upload.

Looked like it was on the 25 or 28' hull w/ a transom door.

The side profile looked like a Blackfin or North Coast from the 80's, but with bow seating instead of a cabin. It was a very clean and substantial looking boat.

No idea if it was a factory owned boat, but there was a tall, friendly looking white haired guy driving...
 
Would love to see pics. Hopefully you can resize it. If you have troubles feel free to email to me and I will resize and post.

My wife has always wanted me to get a DC but I always gave excuses why I should have a PH instead, plus we have a smaller CC for youth play and creek fishing. I don't really want to ever give up my PH but honestly, the DC is a great family design and compromise.
 
A dual console is a fancy version of what used to be called a bow rider. Look at the gradywhite freedom 225 or 275. http://www.gradywhite.com/models/dual-c ... eedom-275/

. The larger ones typically have a nice head and family amenities but can also have hard tops with enclosures. I would think the parker 2520 or 2320 would be a great hull for one.
 
Hope this did it. The hard Top is in front of a metal roof in the pic, so it's a little tough to make out. I've also learned it's really tough to type on an iPad.

The dual-console Parkers have been a rumor for some time.
Now that one has been seen in the wild, the rumors were correct. :wink:

Due to the popularity of the Grady DC lineup, consider this to be Parkers counter.
With the beam of the 25 hull, this should be a roomy boat in a class by herself.
