Quick Question

[jcontello]

As crazy as it sounds my dad bought the boat without actually seeing it in person and it will be here in 2 days but we arent sure of one thing. Does it have a fishbox? I would expect it to have one but from the looks of the pictures the guy sent me it doesn't look like it has one, maybe on the deck? Does anyone know if the 2012 Parker 28 foot has a fish box. It says it in the brochure.

Just took a look at the website and it appears the only deck hatch is to the Lazarett (not sure what the are is called on a outboard boat).

But in the transom it appears that there is a fish box in the center and like a live well port and starboard?

ok thank you, yea there arent to guys crazier then my father, he buys a boat without even looking at it...

[jcontello]

if you look at standard features and go to the bottom, like 5 or 6 up it says "Full Transom with twin bracket (w/swim platform & dive ladder receiver) & 268 qt insulated fishbox with "drop-in" storage boxes" ? does that mean yes? so confused

[Pennsylvania guy]

they have boxes in the transom not in the deck... IMO its better just to put a big 200Qt cooler in the back deck.... makes for good seating

[jcontello]

yea i think thats what we are going to do but if you look at the picture i have it doesnt look like there is a fish box there, on the website you can clearly see it but on mine u cant see it... idk we will just have to wait and see i guess

I'm going to agree with PA guy. You buy a Parker because you want a simple fishing boat without all of the silly bells and whistles (most of which break). For example fishboxes with macerator pumps need to be winterized, are difficult to clean and peiodcally need to be replaced when they break. Get a large cooler for striper season and a smaller cooler for fluke season and save yourself the money. Congradualtions on the new PARKER!

[jcontello]

thanks, i will be getting a cooler today but just incase i dont have a chance to get one do you think in has a fishbox to use temporaraly because it says it does

[Sealob]

A friend has that boat. I remember the entire transom being the box...

[jcontello]

yes we asked the guy todays and he said the transom ahs a fish box, im ok with that

John, From the picture you posted the twin motors are mounted on a transom bracket which makes me think there is a full transom which would contain a fish box. However, if its there great; if not a nice 94gt or larger cooler will serve your needs perfectly. We have a few and they act as seats, storage and fish boxes on our Steiger.
Good Fishing !

yes i conformed that is does have the fishbox on the transom, the whole thing is a fishbox, Thanks
