    2510 XL vs 2510 XLD

    Thanks for the help on this. I ended up ordering a new 2510 with the 300hp Yamaha. A couple of things..... Due to a backlog at Parker's manufacturing facility, the boat won't be delivered until the end of July which is a long wait. Also, I'm told that there is a shortage of Yamaha engines which...

    2510 XL vs 2510 XLD

    I'm looking at pulling the trigger on my third Parker next week. I sold my 2008 2520 MV last fall and am going to order a 2018 2510 with the 300 Yamaha in the next week or so. The thing I'm trying to figure out is which model to get, either the XL or XLD. I spend about half my time bottom...

    Leak?

    Gary, Thanks for the response. The boats out of the water now for the winter, but the live well plumbing one of the first things I'll check in the spring. John

    Leak?

    Brad, Thanks for the response. I do run with my seacock open to be able to avail myself of the livewell and raw water washdown. I'll check the plumbing associated with the seacock. Thanks again. John

    Leak?

    I'm trying to find the source of a leak in my 2008 21SE. I've owned the boat for two years and every time I run it off shore for a few hours fishing there's always a gallon or two of seawater in the bilge. As part of my post trip maintenance I always sponge out the water so I'm starting each...

    Tracks Not Showing on GPS

    My Garmin GPSMAP 720 installed on my Parker 21 CC is not showing the tracks on my Nav and Fishing charts even though I have "Tracks On". Does anyone have any idea what's up with this? I've tried every menu in the manual with no luck. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this would be great. Thanks...

    21SE Question

    I've been looking at buying a used 2006 21SE with a transom mounted motor and notice that it does not have a sea gate. Has the lack of a gate ever been problematical for anyone, particularly in a following sea with water coming in over the transom? Thanks for any info.

    Price Check

    I recently sold my 2008 2520 and am downsizing a little. I'm now interested in a new 21SE at a dealership. The boat has no T-top or electronics but comes with a trailer. The dealer is looking for 42K for the set up. Does this seem like a reasonable price or is there some wiggle room there? Thanks

    Sea Charter GPS

    Is anyone running a Sea Charter GPS GPS/Sonar combo? I'm looking at a used 21 SE with this system already installed. Its not a system I'm familiar with and would appreciate any pros and cons regarding same. Thanks

    New Electronics

    I've never had a problem with my flush mounted Garmin over the past three winters in Massachusetts. However it's located in the cabin of a 2520 and not really subjected to the elements other than cold.

    Garboard plugs

    Where is the garboard plug on a 2520 located? My boat is currently out of the water and I plan to have the Marina commission it for me this year, but I'd like to check it out before they do. Thanks

    Lobster - A messy business

    I sold my 1999 ProLine and purchased a slightly used 2008 2520 last August. I had been doing recreational lobstering in MA for a number of years with the ProLine and the first time I went to pull traps with the new Parker, I was appalled at the way my crappy traps started dinging and staining...

    2520 Visibility Issues?

    After a number of years of running around in 23' - 24' CC boats, I'm now seriously considering the purchase of a 2320 pilot house model Parker. My only real concern is the ability to observe thw port side of things when I'd be behind the second steering station. Has anyone had this issue or am...

    Livewell

    I'm considering buying a used parker 23' CC (2004) thats never been fished from before and was previously used for recreation purposes only. The boat has no live well which is an option I consider mandatory, so if I go with the Parker, I'll have to have one installed. Does anyone have any idea...
