Re: Seacraft, Parker or Jones Bros?
Not to stir the pot or get anyone upset .... but these are almost two different classes of boat
Parker 21 SE and Jones 1910 are really geared more for bays and rivers with the modified V's (both 14 degree) for the shallows and setup for fly fishing. As I’m sure you’re aware the Parker SE has a really low gunwale height aft of the console .... several inches below my knees. Just didn’t seem big enough for the ocean to me …… but what do I know … I’ve seen a 12 foot row boats with 10 hp fluke fishing 10 miles down the coast from the inlet and 17’ BW Montauk’s fishing for giants out 25 miles!!

The 21 Seacraft has a deeper V and higher gunwales and freeboard (two things, amongst others, I personally want when I’m in the ocean and thing start to get nasty)
I've been out in the 21 & 23 SE's several times and they are nice boats but I wasnt overly impressed with them for what I needed and wanted... Especially the 21SE...I felt like I was riding "on" it instead of "in" it. It also pounded more than I needed. I wanted something that could get me back home “no questions asked” when the ocean kicked up.
Just my personal thoughts and experiences [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
