217 EXPLORER

The Parker 217 Explorer is a compact yet capable pilothouse boat built for boaters who want year-round protection and reliable performance. Its fully enclosed cabin keeps you dry, shaded, and comfortable in all weather conditions, making it ideal for both fishing and leisurely cruising. This model now comes standard with Seakeeper Ride, dramatically improving stability and completely transforming how the boat handles and rides in a variety of conditions. New standard features further enhance the experience on the water, including a rocket launcher for added rod storage, underwater lights for better visibility and ambiance, and a standard Garmin electronics package for navigation and communication.
