2026 Parker 227 Explorer

The 2026 Parker 227 Explorer is a 22-foot sport cabin cruiser powered by a single Yamaha F250NSB outboard engine. Built with a modern design in Tides Edge Blue gelcoat, the boat features an outside steering station, west coast bow rail, and a hardtop pilothouse measuring 57 feet long by 84 inches wide. Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GPS Map 943 XSV with GT12M-TH transducer, VHF radio with antenna, and radar. A Seakeeper 450 ride system is installed for stability.

The cabin layout centers on a twin berth forward with 40 inches of headroom, storage, cushions, and a ventilation hatch with screen. The porta-potty is integrated into this space. The pilothouse offers excellent visibility with hinged starboard windshields, sliding side windows with screens, ladder-back seating with footrests, and interior storage with grabrails. Non-skid flooring and LED cabin lighting complete the space. The standard cabin configuration provides a step-down seating area to port with forward and rear companion seats, while starboard features a single captain's chair.

The boat carries comprehensive lighting throughout: LED spreader light, dual blue LED underwater lights with six diodes each, and LED cockpit lighting. A Wetsounds stereo system with four speakers provides entertainment. Hydraulic steering with stainless steel wheel and dual windshield wipers ensure reliable operation in varied conditions.

The transom is well-equipped for fishing, with a full swim platform and ladder, transom fish box, 35-gallon livewell, and transom door. Rod storage includes four gunwale-mounted stainless steel rod holders, a six-rod aluminum rocket launcher, and five transom-mounted rod holders angled at 15 degrees.
