I thought it was a 25, I have a 23DVCC. I did not want to challenge him. I said I thought it was under powered and needed twin 200's. I told him I liked the boat but would probably not catch any more fish.

Passed by this 27ft Parker in Key Largo today for sale. 2017 boat and twin 150 Yamaha, they are asking 77k.

Yamaha has a "Performance Site" that has hundreds of Yamaha tests, but it did not have the old one I posted. I forgot where and how I found that one. I take the WOT data with a grain of salt as they are in my opinion much higher than reality.

Fished 55 years in South Florida, I would think the pilot house would be like a sauna for 8 months of the year.

Here is a email conversation I had with Parker Sales in 2017 about powering a 2520 Parker with a 350 Yamaha when I was considering selling my 23DVCC for a 25DVCC.

The difference in wide open throttle in my 23DVCC was 4 knots with a 300hp vs 250 Yamaha.

I did not do the work myself. Markys Marine in Key Largo replaced the tank.

I have a 23DVCC with a 300hp Yamaha which is stern heavy as the Parkers were designed originally for the weight of 2 strokes. Attached is a picture of a 23 ft Anacapri that was converted from a walkaround to a CC. The original engines were twin 150 2 strokes. Instead repowering with a single 300...

My 23DVCC with bottom paint, 36 knots vs 40 knots, medium load. 250 vs 300 Yamaha.

I also took an in person USCG course in the 70's and learned Nautical Charting. Unfortunately Florida leads the nation in boating accidents today. Hardly a boating day goes by where I don't yield my right away. Watching boaters running aground at 30 knots is also common in our many shallow...

Google, "Jupiter Inlet Boat broached" there are several hair raising video's, 1 was captured by a drone.

I know someone with a 26 ft Proline that he repowered with twin 140 hp Suzuki. The boat is Dangerous. Takes forever to get on a plane. 5000 rpm 28 mph. The boat will broach someday trying to enter the Boca Raton inlet on an outgoing tide with a 15 mph east wind. Almost broached my 1967 19 ft...

I try not to mix and match, food, bait, chum and ice in my 4 chest freezers to reduce domestic disputes.

I have had both the 4.2l 250 and 300, they weigh the same. The boat was designed with the old lighter 2 stroke these new 4 stroke weight 150 pounds more. That is why many original hull designs are stern heavy with the new engines.
