About Reel Native

The REEL NATIVE is as 2004 2830 Parker with an extended enclosed cabin.

Parker Marine has been building quality boats since the late 1960's; however it has never been the company's intention to become an industry giant, but rather to build boats for that portion of the market that can recognize the important qualities in boats dictated by common sense and time-tested design features. This straightforward approach combined with an uncompromising dedication to the highest quality construction practices, has earned the entire Parker line the reputation of simplicity, strength, and seaworthiness.

The boat is powered by two Yamaha 225 four strokes that will get you to your destination quickly and without the noise and fumes of large diesel engines.  When trolling you hardly know they are running.

"The Parker 2830 was designed by fishermen, for serious fishing yet still has all the comforts of home."   -Florida Sportsman

The cabin has a Norcold refrigerator and Kenyon single gas burner stove as well as a fresh water sink.  There is also a table with seating for four where you can enjoy your day's catch or a quick meal between sets.

The enclosed bathroom has a sink, hot water shower and electric toilet.

Onboard entertainment includes a full stereo system with a CD/DVD player and a fold down flat screen television system.

The boat is outfitted with the latest in marine electronics and safety equipment.

The Birdsall tower gives you a great view and is a real asset when looking for weedlines and flotsam.  It has seating for two if you're interested in a view from the top.

The 18ft Rupp outriggers allow REEL NATIVE to troll six lines without the problem of tangles. We also have downriggers for trolling the bait deep.

For live bait fishing there is a large live well located in the middle of the fishing cockpit. Your catch is stored in a Frigid Rigid seven-day cooler to keep it extra fresh until we're back at the dock.
