I run the same vintage 1800. Awesome cover just about everything hull, especially shallow ramps that others can’t use. Interesting console. Is that from a different model Parker or another brand that you color matched?

Here is an ad for a 94’ 1700 that sold. 1994 Used Parker Marine 1700 Center Console Fishing Boat For Sale - $15,000 - Gloucester, VA and here is one for a 94’ 1800 https://www.thehulltruth.com/boats-sale-wanted/255870-1994-18-parker.html The shot of your forward hatch plus the length confirm...

Here is a different wiring schematic for the 1800. I just got this from the “New Parker” a month or two ago

At first glance the hull looks more like a 1700 than an 1800. The 1801 was several years away when yours was built. I’d reach back out to Parker with your hull number and ask for schematics to confirm. I was able to pull your hull number from the photo that included the the upper starboard...

Sounds more like a shower stall than a pilothouse. If Parker is now goofing up stuff that obvious I would dig into every point that I could access to look for other surprises. Thruhulls, backplates, electrical and plumbing come to mind. If you aren’t getting a proper response from “The New...

FWIW these suckers are serious. Almost too pretty for my boat…. almost. They are 1.5lbs too. https://mateseries.com/product/cup-holder-c1000ch/

Do you have specs? For example: https://files.gemlux.com/pdf/3920.pdf

Ditto on this and to speed up your hunt for a solution, switch the Google search mode to IMAGES after clicking the link. You will see a bunch of before and after photos that you can scroll through quickly.

I would definitely go with a cast 3M product if I was going that route, but the cut edge is going to be exposed. Maybe I'll see if I can beg some scraps from a local shop and mess round with etching and sanding before committing.

I’m just about to start building a fiberglass electronics box to sit on my console and am going to go with a face cover of acrylic or poly for flush mounting electronics. I’ve been kicking around the ideal of toning down the plastic by sanding it to remove the glare. Has anyone done this or have...

If you are looking to run her from up there, I agree with the comments above. Now if you are just looking for elevation to aid spotting while at rest; it can be done.

Spotting Cobia would be my guess. They can be tough enough without something big and bright in your face. Beautiful boat. That color really catches my eye.

Have you seen these? https://www.rokkstore.com/collections/charge/products/rokk-wireless-catch-12v-24v-waterproof-wireless-phone-charging-mat-sc-cw-08e I’m going to have to find a place for one of their options :)

Well it's finally time to bury my original 1998 Johnson 115 FICHT (yes, it is one of the models that didn't blow up!). Looking to repower with a Yamaha four stroke, adding 67# for a 115HP and 168# for a 150HP. I emailed Parker to see if the additional weight was within spec for the hull and they...

Now that is slick. Do you have any other shots that you would like to share? I’m reworking the console on my 1800 and could use some eye candy.

Ditto on the braking. I usually do 150m round trips and pulling was never an issue with our Explorer. I was burning through brake pads and rotors though and eventually killed it. No issues with a Sequoia.

The bunks will be the tricky part as you have to suspend the boat off of the trailer completely. I've done it with my 1800 but it took borrowing a pair of jack stands for the stern. Pretty simple on a flat surface. Remove all straps but for the winch. With the trailer off of the vehicle, drop...

Did you spray the gelcoat? The finish looks amazing.

I may go that route in the end but I am a bit stubborn. Just ask my wife :roll:

Strick is one of my heros :) When this project gets off the ground, it will be a glass in mold deal but with gelcoat instead of topcoat after the layup. I am still trying to figure out how I want to deal with the door(s) for the electronics protection. I would very much appreciate hearing from...
