Boat was sold today.

Thanks, I know in the future, when I buy my next boat, I will have to pay up to get a boat in this condition. Its tough to find one under $10,000. If I do, it will be older and probably need all the items I already put on this boat. My basic requirements are no bottom paint and no hackjob...

Hey guys, I reduced the price a bit since I haven't gotten much interest. I had flexibility in my original price but maybe it was a little higher than people were expecting. Paul

Thanks, I'm not the original owner. But shortly after getting the boat in 2006 or 2007 I wanted it to be a new boat. I added most of the options and fixed everything that wasn't perfect. I went through every inch and compounded everything before polishing. Then I repaired every nick or chip...

I don't think a gaping hole in the side of the console would help selling the boat. Actually I would think that tackle locker is still available from Finn Addict. I posted about the install in 2007. The locker is one of the best things I added to the boat. Its very handy on an 18 footer which...

Thanks, I love the boat but my kids are too young to join me. Because I trailer and I'm 45min to an hour away from my launch, boating is an all day affair. I figure, I'll sell this boat now and look for a 2120 or 2100 in a couple years.

I'm selling my 1997 1800 center console. I've had the boat since 2006. The boat has always been trailered and used very lightly. It has no bottom paint, and very low hours. Motor is in excellent condition. Starts everytime even after sitting all winter. Its a yamaha 115HP 2-stroke with a...

Fished sunday morning in Raritan Bay off Great Kills, Staten Island. Among the bluefish, I caught my personal best weakfish. Quite a few parkers out there this past weekend.

The pictures just came through, looks like you did well

I fish that area frequently. How did you do?

Nice Work

That stuff will drive me nuts. What's with the flag pole and windsock? I like minimal stuff as well.

Nice job on the removal. Sounds like it went well. What would you add to the gelcoat that will enable you to roll it and let it cure. The gelcoat I got from the dealer cost me $16 for a pint. I've been covering the small gelcoat repairs with a plastic film to allow them to set.

The chips I've repaired on the deck, I just filled with straight gelcoat. Then I sanded it down a bit. Almost impossible to find. I don't think you will notice a small spot like that. The other option which I have not done, is to make a mold out of silicone of an area of non-skid and then...

T-Bro I thought about the straight IPod hookup but I actually like to listen to the radio on occasion. Maybe 4 gunnel mounted box speakers would be the best. Not sure yet.

Trying to figure out the best locations to mount a stereo and 4 speakers on my parker 1800. I figure I'll mount the stereo in the front box in the console but I am considering a flush mounted waterproof faceplate somewhere on the console. As for the speakers, my options that I thought of are...

Don't have an answer for you, but I just ordered a custom console cover that fits over the swing back cooler seat and console on my 1800. Made out of Sunbrella. Estimateed cost is $360. Not cheap. Should be ready in a week. PJ

The first thing I did after buying my 1997 1800 was installing a set of Bennet trim tabs. I selected the m120s. Everything went straight forward. I put the pump in the bildge as seen in the picture below. Don't worry the boat got a thorough cleaning afterword including the bildge. I had to...

Got him live lining a bunker. I snagged some bunker out of the large schools and anchored off the channel near the schools. I was fishing with cut bunker and one live. I don't have all the numbers yet. I was get low 30's kts full a full tank and 2 people but it was a bit choppy so it wasn't...
