It's 4 Reels! - Parker 23

Go Parker....They do have a 21 ft walkaround. I have the 23 and it is all tricked out. Been to San Clemente, Loreto, Ensenada and Catalina many times. It is definitely fishworthy and takes a pounding, is very stable on anchor and drift and is very easy to clean. I bought mine from Johnson Marine in Ontario and the thing they did that none of the other boat dealers did was allow me to customize it the way I wanted it. Ask for Ron or Joe. They also have a top notch installer who knows these boats inside and out.
