    Nice! I replaced a Yamaha F225 that was on my 2520 with a Suzuki DF300APXX back in 2019. Much better performance with the “new” engine, although it’s now got 1300+ hours on it. PS: Stand by for the inevitable lecture that’s coming regarding placards, insurance etc etc. 🤣

    Another year in the books.

    Another successful year in the books, 1308 hours on my “new” engine hung in the Spring of 2019. Always a relief for me to have all my maintenance done and the boat covered before the “holidays”. I’m not super religious but I hope the “Good Lord” lets me catch at least 1 more Tuna in 2025…😊

    Electric Trailer Winch For Parker 2520?

    Yes “Up North”. I have owned the boat & trailer for 19 years. The boat is slipped so only a couple of haul outs a year. Planning on some trailer maintenance post launch next Spring including a new winch and was contemplating going electric but I’m very skeptical about the service life of an...

    Electric Trailer Winch For Parker 2520?

    I have Parker 2520 S/E 300HP on a roller trailer. Contemplating an electric trailer hitch winch and was wondering if anyone out there is using one to haul a Parker 2520? If so, what make/model winch and are you using and are you satisfied with performance and durability? Thanks in advance….

    Introduction - Portsmouth NH

    If you haven’t bought the boat yet, it would be a good idea to squirt the deck down with a good bit of water. Dry the area around the deck plate inspection plates and then open them up to see how badly they’re leaking. If the fuel tank has water on top and it’s an original tank, you can plan on...

    Potential Purchase - 1991 Parker 2510 with Volvo AD41 engine

    Given the age of the boat, the status of the fuel tank is another variable that can ramp up the cost of your investment rather steeply. Even if the tank was replaced when the boat was 10-15 years old, it could easily be due for another fuel tank dependent on the quality of the installation and...

    Why did Parker stop making the 3420 Sport Cabin?

    I climbed around a 3420 at a boat show back when Parker was making them. It was very large and impressive looking. I haven’t seen one in the used market in a while but they used to occasionally pop up for reasonable prices with early generation F350s on em. That probably influenced the...

    help please

    That’s ridiculous that they rigged the boat like that. It was inevitable the bow light was gonna eventually get destroyed by the anchor rhode. I wouldn’t bother fixing the bow light unless you install a couple of these with it because it’s gonna happen again.

    That’s a beautiful boat and with a new fuel tank and a fresh DF300, a heck of a deal. I’d say “good luck with sale” but IMO you don’t need it, the boat speaks for itself….👍👍
