    American Red Snapper fishing on the 2320 N. Florida. "Old Glory"

    I would assume your deck is encapsulated marine ply. You could overdrill your holes, back fill via a syringe with six 10, smooth it. Let it cure. Then drill your pilothole in the center of your thickened epoxy, then screw your fasteners into the epoxy rather then plywood deck. or Truthfully...

    American Red Snapper fishing on the 2320 N. Florida. "Old Glory"

    I had a boat, a Jones Brothers 26 Cape Fisherman that I installed this system in the bow for the same application. Like you, I had no access to thru-bolt, so I predrilled my holes, bedded the lag screws in 4200 and installed them. They never moved and I suspect they are still where I installed...

    American Red Snapper fishing on the 2320 N. Florida. "Old Glory"

    Right? I have been using Kennedy Tie Downs for 7-8 years on 5-6 different boats. NEVER a single failure. I even had some powder coated for a higher end build I did. They hold up great. I would challenge anyone to find a better system, a lower profile system for cooler retention. Also, w/ the...

    Suzuki 200 repower. Wow!

    Congratulations: Most likely transformed that boat into another beast all together. That Suzuki 200 is a strong motor.

    Would I need a radar pedestal?

    I think the 5 degree forward rake and the physical appearance are two reasons to use the pedestal. In my opinion, the radome just looks better on a pedestal.

    Warranty question

    Your dealer is full of crap and doesn't have a clue what he/ she/ it is talking about regarding this topic. I would look for another dealer if yours is so ignorant.

    Welcome aboard. You have a very fine Parker, that 2320. 3M upholstery spray should work very well if you spray both the fabric and the fiberglass, then press and hold. Maybe try cleaning the fiberglass surface with acetone 1st, letting dry then attaching. Is there moisture present that is not...

    New to the Parker Community from Pensacola Fl.

    That is a very fine looking rig. Is that a 12,000 pound trailer? (2) 6000 pound axles ? The 2nd station is very convenient and very fun to stay in the cockpit with the crew.

    American Red Snapper fishing on the 2320 N. Florida. "Old Glory"

    We are only allowed 1 fish/ angler for 3 days/ year: it was this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is lunacy as they are thick as thieves. So prolific they have run off all the grouper within 30 miles of NE Florida coastline. They eat the beeliners, the black seabass and any other reef...

    F200 Break in Maintenance

    100% yes: you need to get the "get acquainted metal" away from the motor. Cheap insurance on a not cheap investment.

    2520xl Boat Lift

    2 quick thoughts: 1.) I would HIGLY recommend a 13K lift for your application. Brents math above is compelling itemization of weight that gets you very close if not over capacity. 2.) I try to stay at 90% capacity or less to minimize the stress on the equipment. The upgrade cost is minimal...

    American Red Snapper fishing on the 2320 N. Florida. "Old Glory"

    haha! Yep sure is. We ran from my dock to mayport, then to CH, BR,NSS,BB then back through the inlet and the 27 mile ride back home down the St John’s River to the Ortega River. 140 miles round trip. Dock to dock time 9 hrs 45 min 68 gallons of fuel burned. Dry in the pilot house.

    F200 Break in Maintenance

    I would not change internal fuel filters, but I would install a new Yamaha 10micron 90gal/hr fuel water separator canister. I did mine at 20 hours. Then every 6 months or 100 hrs whichever comes 1st.

    New Member, 2320 on Order

    I ran my 2120 out of St. Pete for 5 years. It's a great platform for the gulf. I am now in my 2320 fishing the NE Florida waters. The 2320 is an amazing platform: I call it the Swiss army knife of boats: she does everything. You will be tickled.

    2021 Parker 2320 and Minn Kota Trolling motor installation.

    I fished 2 days ago in 3 ft. seas with a 10-15mph wind. Spot locked each bottom fishing location: Held dead nuts, no cavitation, fished for 6 hours. When I got back to the dock, plugged the lithium batteries in, I still had 72% battery life. There is no need for auxiliary motors or a second...
