I've fished from many different boats set up for light tackle fishing and overall I've seen some good setups and some pretty poor ones too! This boat is clean and free of obstructions making it a solid platform for casting fly rods as well as big plugs in the surf. The hull is 15 years old but performs like its first day out on the water. The solid construction of the Parker Boats makes it a "goto" boat for guiding here in the Northeast. I invite you to come experience some of what the local waters have to offer aboard the "Hardcore".
