    Glad I have a Parker

    Hi John, Had we waited 30 more minutes, there is no way I would of gone, but I have done the crossing in bad stuff, and have ( I thought) learned how to read the ocean and the forcasts, but I almost cost a life, so I will never ever do it again, I knew it was going to get bad, but the forcast I...

    adding LED deck lights

    I did it, I had to remove that cover plate back under the gunnel, but it was very easy, I think my whole boat is LEDs, but the ones I ordered where a tad smaller, so I took some really thin Starboard, made a backing plate and connected, at first it kept slapping me in the face, the look, but in...

    Adding Port Wiper Motor

    I always wondered why there was a switch for each wiper too, I could use the left wiper switch for something else, it is funny how they configure the switches at the factory, some are used all the time and some almost never, so why some are where they are is strange, BUT back to you problem, I...

    New Home for our Parker

    Out here on the West Coast, mooring at Catalina, at The Ismisis, I have heard the wait is 20 plus years, depending on the size of your boat, and at Avalon I have heard ( do not know if it is true) moorings sell for $300,000, I have a good anchor :)

    Sport Cabin?

    I love the door, I agree with Maxout, in the winter I am warm, and in the summer, we open all the windows and this summer we even opened the front windshields, and I love to have that padlock on the door, one of the main reasons for us to get the Pilot house, was the whole inside and out of the...

    2520 with Twin 115 yamaha GOOD/BAD?

    I would think it would be really close to under powered, I wish I had twin 200's on my 2520XL, I have twin 150's , but if when I repower, hopefully no time soon, I will get 200, my boat fully loaded with gas , bait etc,etc the 150's are good , but 200 would be better, that only what I think .
