    Suggestions for overnight power

    I've used a floating bait pen before but found that the bait gets pretty beat up from the transfer between the tank and bait pen. The other problem is the marauding sea lions that will go after your set up at Catalina. I normally run my Honda 2000 generator for several hours at night and in the...

    Diesel 2520 Weight? Trailer?

    I have a 1997 2520 with Volvo diesel. I've never weighed it but suspect it is close to 9800#. I use a tandem axle galvanized trailer with SS disc brakes on both axles. At 3200 RPM, it cruises at about 22 mph. At 3500, 25mph. Maxed out at 3900, 29mph. Economy ranges from 3.2 to 2.78 mpg and much...

    SoCal boys.........

    Any mild white rockfish grilled and chunked. Dice some cabbage with fresh cilantro and onions to garnish the fish. Mix up a little Ranch dressing with equal or lesser amount of Tapatio or any of your favorite Mexican hot sauce to taste. Fill a soft, warm corn or flour tortilla with the fish...

    Southern Hospitality Grouperjim style.

    Try this..... Attach a 30' length of galvanized chain with appropriate length rode firmly to the PC. Place it in your anchor locker. Run down to the nearest Apple store. Purchase the computer of your choice. :o Just kidding...not trying to stir up the computer geeks.

    West coast rocket launchers

    Most of the guys who mount rod holders on the front of the T top do it to avoid hitting the overhead rods/reels while casting. Oh and by the way, that is pretty typical of the treatment most people get at that dealership. It's what happens when you're the only game in town.

    Fuel Tank Replacement - Any Issues?

    I posted here a while back about my fuel tank replacement nightmare when my Parker was only 8 years old. I don't know if you can do a search here or not but if you pm me, I can give you the particulars. Edit: Here is a link to it http://www.classicparker.com/phpBB2/vie ... =fuel+tank

    Electronics Photos Please

    Here is a shot of the helm as I returned from a recent, unsuccessful White Seabass expedition. Notice that from this angle, you can't see my tail tucked between my legs.

    So Cal Parker Owners

    Would love to get the ball rolling towards some kind of a West Coast Rendezvous. There seems to be some interest in doing a Marina Coral trip when the fish start biting this year. This is something I've wanted to do but would prefer to do it with a group....hopefully with some Marina Coral...

    Considering a Parker....Please help

    I have the Volvo powered sterndrive with duoprop. It is rated at just a hair over 200 hp. It is no speed demon compared to other boats I have owned, but I now greatly appreciated the comfort of the pilot house over speed. I cruise at 22 and top out at around 27 - 29 depending on the load. I also...

    A belated introduction

    Hi Jeff, My son and I spoke with you one morning at the Newport Dunes ramp as we admired your tower. I have no desire to even attempt towing my 2520 into Mexico, but... I would consider launching out of San Diego and motoring out & back to Marina Coral when / if the albacore show. Haven't done...
