The entire pilothouse wiggles and wobbles in a rough pounding sea. The hull sides noticeably move in a short chop. Not my bag. My Seaswirl was built better IMO, my GW even better than that.

I do have some bulkhead sway on my GW but since I pulled the tower it has gone away. I don't think the boat was designed for the added weight of the tower and 2 fat friends aloft while running. :wink: jh

I like the Parkers,infact I have been on quite a few of em.Where I live most of the ones I see are the SE and pilot house models[mod-vee]which are I think 14*or16* deadrise.Where as GW`s have a 20* deadrise which gives a little smoother ride.I try to advoid these peeing contests.
Jimmy have you ever seen that movie "Ground Hog Day"? :wink:
