    Finally Named The Boat

    Great name choice! I owned three sailboats named Rosinante 1, 2, and 3. A little Tracker named Scout, and now a Parker 1801 named Traveler.

    1801 Parker Advice

    These are great little boats. If it's suitable for what you plan to do, you will love it. I have a 2015 w a 115 Yamaha. Plenty of power for me. Jumps right up on plane. But I normally fish by myself.

    Is it below the steering wheel, in the vertical part of the console, facing aft? My 1801 has a cubby there with sliding doors.

    Console Wiring Dilemma

    I have been hesitant to jump in here, but..... I am a marine surveyor. Our company looked at 600 claims last year. Lots of electrical fires. If you have to ask as many questions as you have asked then you need professional help. If you insist on doing it on your own, you WILL increase the risk...

    WTB 1801 with newer engine in southeast

    You may have to drive some.... they don't come up for sale very often, and a good clean one will go fast. Someone here who is local to the boat will usually be willing to go take a first look for you and send photos. Do your homework ahead of time so that you are ready to jump on a good deal...

    Please Help Educate An Eager Potential Parker Buyer

    You didn't say whether the engine was used in fresh or salt. Based on the boat I'd guess salt. In which case a 20 year old outboard is probably at or nearing the end of its useful life. If you buy the boat you should assume that you will have to repower in the near future. Every year that you...

    2004 23’ cc value

    Oh and I missed a new outboard in 2015.... that means the engine was totaled because it sank in salt water.

    2004 23’ cc value

    Why was all this work done? The marine surveyor in me reads that and says sunk boat! Rewired, new bilge pump and charger, new batteries = sank in salt water, everything had to be replaced. New rub rail, new trim tabs, new rub rail, hull painted = beat against the dock, or broke free during a...

    Zincs or Aluminium Mixing on Tabs & Motor ?

    There are three different materials utilized for anodes - magnesium, aluminum, and zinc... Magnesium is for fresh water only. Zinc is for salt water only. Aluminum is effective in both. That may be why your store switched. Aluminum anodes are generally less expensive (without sacrificing...

    Parker 1801 scupper questions

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the transom plywood cored? Don't know if that would add enough weight to make a difference.

    Question about used Parker 1801 pricing

    p.s. You seem to be posting everything twice. I recommend that you delete one of each.... And of course I own a 2015 1801. Let me know if I can help you with your decision.

    Question about used Parker 1801 pricing

    Take a look at the boat. If you still like it hire a marine surveyor. There are several of us on the site (though we tend to not admit we are surveyors). If you need a recommendation for a local surveyor send me a PM. I have been doing this 31 years and know everybody in the business... :>)
