Dale- Yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking, but how would you attach those posts to the fishbox? Doesnt seem like there is much meat there at all to put a screw into. Just use some adhesive like 5200? thanks

I have the full transom fishbox on my 28. I would really like to divide it into two compartments from time to time. For offshore fishing, I would keep it wide open and fill with ice / slurry. But when I am bass fishing, etc, that box is just so big that I really need alot of ice in there to...

Mike - Check out the 23SE that Schrader Yacht Sales in NJ has listed. Its my old boat - I just traded it in on a bigger Parker. Its a good boat.

I was mistaken. Each motor is wired to a switch, but each battery can start either motor. So, if one battery switch is off, I cannot start that motor, but if that switch is on, I can start that motor, even if I disconnect that battery. Sorry for my mistake and hope I did not confuse anyone.

Was hoping someone could help me out. New parker with twin engines. Two batteries and two battery switches. I beleive that each motor is separately wired to only one battery. Meaning, if one battery completely died, I could not start that motor. Can that really be correct? I cannot...

YEAH WINDKNOTNC - Pics would be great. I think I have decided on the Rupp Radial top mounts (only need to drill 4 pilot holes, no big hole). I think I am gonna get 20' bly carbon fiber outriggers. (He is a custom guy here in NJ that makes sweet CF outriggers at a great price) .

In case anyone is following this, I wanted to update everyone. I spoke with Eric at parker engineering who said it would definitely be fine to just mount the riggers to those plates - thats what they are there for. Drill the hole thru em, drill the 4 bolt holes, and attach. He was very...

I think you are doing pretty good there, but honestly, I have not priced a 23 in a while. I had the 23SE, same boat as you, bought new in 2006, and it was less, but not too much less from what I can remember. I just bought my 3rd brand new parker, and everytime I moved up, the resale was very...

So one installer seems very concerned that the torque of the riggers will snap off those plates that were welded in by parker, and that my whole t top will shake alot if I dont weld in a supplemental tupe from the base of the rigger handle into a tower leg. I'm waiting to hear back from a call...

The boat is a 2011 center console 2801. I just bought it. I would like to install the riggers, but am a little low on funds right now. Just trying to figure out if people really think they will support riggers, or if the bottom of the rigger mount needs to be welded in for extra support

The plate is 25 inches long by 5 inches wide and is 3/8 thich. It appears to be solid. It is welded to the t-top frame, but it is only welded at the two ends that are 5 inches wide. there is no hole drilled, so I would either need to drill a 2 1/2 hole and 4 bolt holes. Or I was thinking...

Greetings all The new parker center consoles have pretty beefy plates welded in under the canvas, on each side of the helm. They look to me like they are designed for outriggers. Do you all think that those plates would be strong enough for a bolt thru outrigger, or do you really think the...

There is also a separate shut off for the baitwell supply. It is up inside the baitwell. I found out just like you did.

Wondering if anyone has taken delivery of a 2801 lately, and what your thoughts were on the boat (ride, drift, fuel burn, speed, etc etc). Or, anyone who has an older one, please feel free to chime in. Can anyone give thoughts / compare that boat versus a 26 Regulator? Thanks

I would highly recommend the hard top. Otherwise with the soft top, you will need to replace it, and it will start to look crappy much sooner than you think. Whatever more a hard top costs, you will save in the long run by not needing to replace the soft top. It will keep you drier, is more...

Exactly what Megabyte said. before I got my 23SE, I had the 21SE. Primarily fish within 8 miles of the beach, but would run the 21SE out 35 or so. I just picked my days. Depends on your budget and what you feel you will be doing more of. If going used, try to get the best boat that you can...

Look online - yachtworld.com / boattrader.com, etc. I think $28 - $30

Might want to consider the folding deck chairs. I think they even make benches.

I've run the mod v center console for 10 years. Either way, both are great boats. I routinely go out 30-50 miles.

I thought about the knife slots, but actually thought that would be a very bad place and could result in some injuries. I bring my kids and dog alot, and also, I could see reaching into the livewell for something in a hurry, forgetting that there is a knife sticking down there. I made a rack...
