Hello to All: First time poster and new owner of an XL with F225. Have had it in the water for all of 10 days and very happy so far (except that no Danforth except the small S600 will fit in the locker without cutting it down and/or grinding flats on the stock... realize that if that's our worst problem we will be very lucky) The neatest option we have is a very slick second station factory- mounted on the bulkhead instead of the usual free-standing one. It was a special order that the dealer had not seen before, but he is now impressed. Same cost as the usual second station location. Robin claims this rig will cruise at about 25mph at 4000rpm, with about 40 mph at WOT. What is the real world experience of XL/F225 owners? Any other comments or tips from experienced Paker owners would be greatly appreciated. Our previous boat was a G-W 226 before we "upgraded" to the Parker to extend the fishing season here in the Northeast (NJ). Jim | ||||
