1988 Parker Semi-V Modified

Step aboard this classic Parker and you immediately feel that old-school, overbuilt charm. The high gunwales give a real sense of security when you’re working the rails in a sloppy chop, and the wide, open cockpit makes it easy for a crew to move without tangling rods or feet. Drainage is straightforward and practical, so washdowns are quick after a busy day on the grounds. The helm has that no-nonsense layout Parker is known for—clear sightlines, nothing fancy you don’t need, and everything you do is within easy reach. It’s the kind of boat that invites customization, whether you’re rigging for trolling, bottom fishing, or just setting it up as a simple, tough family workhorse.

This Parker Semi-V Modified shines in waters where conditions can change quickly—exactly what you tend to see in this region. The semi‑V design softens the ride when the breeze kicks up, yet still offers excellent stability at drift or anchor, perfect for chunking, bottom fishing, or setting pots. Shallow‑to‑moderate draft lets you poke into creeks and back bays while still feeling confident running open stretches when the tide builds. It’s an honest, straightforward platform that handles current, boat traffic, and confused chop with ease, making it a dependable choice for anglers and families who want one boat that can do a bit of everything around here.
