What size poles are on the Rupp Radials? (1.5"x15'ft)? Nice! I also need to make some measurements and see if my cabin overhang would allow for the Grand Slams mounted outside. Thanks again, this is a great website!!

Anyone have any issues with the handles and headroom situation w/ your rigger mounts in the cabin? I am really up in the air w/ the mounts. Are the wishbones in the way? Top mounts easy to rig? Taking all opinions. Been hunting the search feature for the handle/headroom topic in the cabin, no...

Looking for advice on some poles, just purchased some Shimano 50w's. I guess the cost is what separates the different options? Rollers the way to go?

Love the info! Thanks. My wife is going to dislike you guys though..$$!!

pmeggers, talk to me about the bent butts and the reasons/must for them.

Excellent! Thanks guys. Any input on outriggers? I have been shopping around for those and the prices seem to vary so much, the mounts are what seem to be the huge cost. I am tossing around the idea of mounting them on top of the cabin.....and allowing the outriggers to fit the budget of course.

I am going to try my hand in tuna fishing this year. I would like opinions on reel sizes, bent butt rods vs. straight, I guess I would have to put differnet rod holders in the parker if I use bent butts??(angle) Would appreciate all advice! What does this fine Parker gang go with? Thanks

Some years back a man down on his luck and needing some "insurance" money, took his 18'ft parker cc offshore w/ a skiff in tow. Yanked the stern plug, jumped into the skiff and fired a few shotgun rounds into the bow. The boat never sunk! The best part of the story...since the boat would not...

I recently purchased a parker, only had an 8 day period to use it before I had to haul it out and winterize. (I am a merchant marine...work sched). In this 8 day time frame, the boat was kept in the water on a mooring and I was amazed at how fast the trim tab zinc had brokedown? The o/b zincs...

Thanks for the info!

I took a windy fall trip today (NW'ly 20-25 /w 30mph gusts) and noticed that any wind stronger than 15mph will greatly hinder any astern maneuvering. The Sport Cabin is quite the sail! I have the 2520 XL sport cabin w/ stern bracket.........I think I will be looking into the 4-blade prop. Has...

Huh SailBrent?? The anchor is great in soft botttom, used it in a 1.5kt river current and it held fine. I am not sure about the hard bottoms, may be "iffy". I'll be sure to ask SailBrent about stereo speakers though??

I guess nobody has? It is very similar to a Delta or plow type, just a fraction of the cost. I will be trying one out this weekend and will let you all know how they work.....$50 for the thing, maybe a good buy??

Your boat seriously hauls Ass!!!

Anyone have or used a "Manta" Anchor?

Winnegance Bay....up in the Kennebec near Phippsburg?

My home port is Newagen Harbor on Southport Island. About 2nm from Boothbay Hbr.

I will be fishing the rivers, bays and coast of Maine. Really looking forward to trying my hand w/ the tuna!

What is the best method for preventing mold & mildew on carpet bulkheads and overheads in the cabin?? In the past I have used the moisture canisters, anyone have a better method(s)?

I am writting to thank all of you for your great info and honest opinions that helped me decide on which boat is right for me. By the end of the week I will be picking up my new Parker!! I went w/ the 2520XL Sport Cabin (F-250 Yamaha). She is bare bones but the upcoming winter will allow some...
