I am with you Moonpie - I have a 2001 23SE and would like to find a new(er) console aftermarket for a variety of reasons. One being so I can flush mount electronics. I also just prefer the "look" of the newer consoles vs the older ones (with the flat top)
I assume you mean 174.3 lbs heavier? Does the current 200 ETEC feel underpowered? The Suzuki (225 or 250) would be a 6 cyl with more torque I would suspect
Not sure if it came that way or not, but your console has what appears to be a box atop the standard "flat top" console? I have a 2000 23SE and am trying to locate that exact part to upgrade my console. Did you get direct from Parker or is it an aftermarket option?
Firerider - what are you running now? I also have a 23SE that I am considering repowering in the future. Came with a 175 and looking to go bigger, not for top end speed, but hoping for a better pop onto plane and less fuel consumption overall
Anyone know where they were sourced? Looking like a replacement for the plastic as mine is pretty sun damaged/brittle. Considered going teak, but that would be the only teak on the boat and would require maintenance over time.
Good info! We can currently get about 35 knots (41 mph) out of the 175, but you can practically hear the gas level dropping when you open it up. Its rated for a max of 225, I will look at the 6 cyl 225
Does the Permatrim make that big a difference? I have been interested in those. Does it only help the "ride" or do you actually see better fuel economy as well?
Is anyone running a 200HP Suzuki on their 23SE and if so how do you like it? thinking of a repower for our 2001. Currently running a 175HPDI Yamaha and would like to burn less fuel and not deal with two-stroke oil at $50/gallon.
Hello - I have re-joined CP as an owner! I used to follow the site as both my father and father-in-law had Parkers, but we recently purchased a new-to-us 2001 23SE with a Yamaha 175 HPDI on the back. So far we really like it. Hoping to make a few minor adjustments this winter to make it more...
