    Anyone familiar with these Parker bolster helm chairs?

    I think they were standard equipment on the 21's back when I bought my 1801 in 2015. I special ordered my boat and had these seats installed in lieu of the bench seat. I love them. Any specific questions? Mine are 7 years old and still look great.

    Problem filling gas tank: Parker 1801

    <I have heard that some people are removing the black can filter that is before the exterior vent and the problem is resolved. I think it is a charcoal type filter canister under the gunnel cause the back flow issue.> Just so you know... that canister is to eliminate fuel vapor escaping. It is...

    (Also) new to me Parker 1801

    <Where can I get the tan color gel coat?> Even if you could get the exact same color it wouldn't match. Your boat is 6-7 years old and the gelcoat has faded. Especially if it has been stored outside. A professional can match the color though.

    Problem filling gas tank: Parker 1801

    M y 2015 takes it as fast as I can pump it in. Never a problem.

    Cost of a new boat going back years.

    Not sure why it matters what a boat sold for in 2015. The price today is what it is. Negotiate your best deal and buy it. Or not. Your choice. The market may be softening a little now. But I own a 2015 1801. Bought it new. A couple of months ago I could have sold it for what I paid for it. May...

    Warning Labels removed and discarded during Gel Coat respray 21se

    Parker probably has a standard package of warning labels. You buy them then install what applies to your boat. Give them a call. Let us know hw they respond.

    The 1801... the right fit for me?

    I'll tell you what I can. 2015 boat, original 115 HP Yamaha. Low hours (200?). Don't know prop specs, it was original. I almost always fish alone on a medium sized river. WOT high 30's - maybe 37-38 MPH. Cruise can be anything you want it to be. At WOT I burn ~10 GPH, at 5 GPH I run ~30 MPH.

    Groco Seacock?

    And just FYI, that is not a seacock. It is a ball valve. Seacocks have tapered plugs rather than a round ball. The ball valve is ok, just a different critter.

    Need help identifying!

    I would call it a tophat penetration or a tophat fitting but I can't find anything on line called that.

    Navigation Lights with Trolling Motor on 1801

    That is a 10" pole. I think Atwood but not sure without looking. I very seldom run at night, so it normally lives inside a locker.

    Navigation Lights with Trolling Motor on 1801

    Two options. Move your lights to the side of the hull. Not a really great choice. Or put them a stem. That's what I did. The only hard part is getting to the wires inside the anchor locker....

    looking for paint colors...

    If you want a true match to your gelcoat (or paint) you will have to custom mix it to match your 17 year old gelcoat. It is no longer the same color it was when it was new.....

    21' 1801 Crack in Bilge area

    No, probably not structural. I agree with Efx. Parker probably can't tell anything without looking at it. Take it your dealer and have them look at it. FWIW I am a marine surveyor and own an 1801....

    1801 Helm/Console storage options

    I do not have the cooler option under the front console seat, so mine is one big open space. I put a divider at the back of the space where the cooler would be to keep stuff there from mixing with stuff under the console (a piece of plywood fastened on both ends to the sides of the console)...

    Jackplate on a 1801?

    My 2015 1801 with a F115 will run 37-38 MPH. Only me aboard, trolling motor with two batteries, no t-top. A jack plate sounds like a lot of trouble and expense to gain 2-3 MPH.
