    Concerned about Parker purchase

    Do we know if that untreated wood should have been removed. Why were nails used and why does this look like such POOR craftsmanship. I own a 2013 23se. My hope is it was built before the quality control issues.

    23se for Lake Erie?

    I have a 2013 23se with a 225 yamaha. I get 3.8 mpg with 2 people and full fuel. Boat comes on plain quickly and I don't loose the horizon.

    why no bow/anchor line chocks on 23 SE?

    I have owned my 23se for 5 years now. It has not been an issue. I also fly fish so I don't want them. Regards, Mark

    2501 vs 2300 dvcc ride

    Can anyone provide feedback on how these two boats compare in ride. It would seem that the length to beam favors the 23.

    Any 23 SE Owners ??

    I run the 225hp 3.3 liter on my 23se. Perfect power in my opinion. Previously had a 21se with a 150. I think the 200hp would be perfect on that boat.

    Pics of my 23se

    I fly fish from the bow and wanted it as clean as possible. The cooler doesn't really get in the way where it is, though.

    Pics of my 23se

    It is a Moeller 125 qt. I have it attached with pad eyes on the live well and the cooler with a strap to keep it in place. The mat also keeps it from sliding. I added a cushion to match the Parker cushions for extra seating. I'm at the Boathouse.

    Polyester putty for stringers

    Talked to Parker today. The reason they use polyester putty is to radius the corners where the stringer meets the hull. The putty is not used to bond the stringers to the hull.

    Rust Spots and cleaning the deck

    I have the same problem. I have had a 2011 21se and currently a 23se. Really thought I did the right preventative maintenance with the 23 but the rust is showing. I am also at the Boathouse.

    Key West style t-top

    Papa, Thanks for the heads up on that article. I'm just looking to gather some pictures for Hi-Speed Welding, they will be doing the work. Vertical rod storage is one reason I want this style of top and it also improves casting angles from the bow. I also appreciate that you would take...

    Key West style t-top

    I agree it could get in the way if it was a full size T-top. The bimini is also in the way if you need shade and still want to fish. I have fished on Joe Shutes 23 parker and that has a T-top with a cobia tower and standard cleats, all those obstructions and still not a real issue. I really...

    Key West style t-top

    I want to put a Key West style t-top on the Parker 23se I've ordered. I fly fish 80% of the time. I remember seeing one of these tops where the sides above the console/leaning post opened and closed like sun visors in a car. Does anyone have any pics of a t-top with this feature.
