LOOKS great , but so did the EDSEL......

So far as i see niche mfg is great, but mom n pops die hard

I love the looks but ......Ill wait for someone else to buy it n let me know

the company is in its infancy "SINCE 1997" lol not much history there ......

But looks good ........
 
I can add one more Parker observation. I had an 18' Privateer. Nice work boat but I noticed the top half of the boat was simply screwed to the hull with standard ss sheet metal screws. I am sure there was also some kind of glue between the sections, but for mechanical fastening, that was it... Sheet metal screws.

What a surprise when crawling around my Parker 1800 to see the two sections were screwed together with machine screws, and nyloc nuts. In between these fasteners were the additional sheet metal screws that attaches the rub rail. I've been boating a very long time, and this Parker never ceases to satisfy.
 
I'll also add to walk'n the deck cap, notice has the boat(Parker) is not "tippy" when doing this. Walk on the above model and I bet you'll rock the whole boat, then slip off the deck cap into the drink.
 
While it is not a huge deal. The rod holders drain into the bildge on a 2 piece hull..

i got my 3 piece hull
