    Welcome sir. Clearly you were impressed by your 1st 2120, so you bought another. Agreed, the 2120 with the 150 motor is underpowered when your boat is full: crew members, gear, fuel, livewell, fish. That 200 will be much nicer. Personally, I would have maxed the HP with the 225. Congrats...

    yes, that is the adhesive/ sealant of choice for your installation.

    23se trolling motor mounting

    Every bow mounted TM needs a backing plate. Period. I have seen and read others' installations that literally ripped the forward casting deck out. The torque on these things is insane.

    Or Sherwin Williams Tile Clad Epoxy HS : it's the shizzle in the bilge.

    Sou'wester fuel tank question (few will know)

    PARKER never treated their tanks. If you have coal tar epoxy or another coating, it was replaced by someone after it left Parker Marine. That's good news for you.

    Quarterly wax

    I do it in stages. I’ll wax until I find an easy breaking point. I’ll do the roof, then the port side to the aft corner, then the trunk cabin,.. etc. if I just take it piece by piece, it’s not bad. Also around the hardware, I do it all by hand. I do the topside of the boat in the boat house...

    2013 Parker 2300 DVCC w 250 Yamaha

    Ask what you want, start high as its' easier to come down in price than go up. Myself and every member on this forum has never seen a boat market like the one we are in now. If you ever were to demand a premium price for a used rig, today is the day. Also, with inflation going up at...

    $12 bait prep station

    Way to go! About 3 months ago, I was running from the inlet to our 1st Cobia spot, and hit a wave, BUMP, my MAGMA bait station bounced out of a rod holder and guess what? They don't float. I paid $130 for a new one shipped to me. You saved a bunch of money there.

    Quarterly wax

    Nothing at all. It doesn't bother me...I just use my foot and push it back into place... but now that you mention it, maybe It will start bothering me... : )

    Quarterly wax

    Yes, Collinite 845 straight to the gelcoat 2 coats 24 hours apart. I was reading another forum one day, and they were talking about waxes. The one statement I took away was "Use whatever you want for waxes, but use them often". So, the Collinite may not be the best product, but it works...

    Quarterly wax

    While I was at it, I installed Dri-Dek “grey” in the pilot house. I like it a lot.

    Quarterly wax

    "Last Step Wax" simply refers to final coat. This is applicable if you are using HD or light duty rubbing compound, then a glaze coat, then polish, then wax. Wet sanding, Rubbing compound, glazing, polishing then waxing is the process for severely degenerated gelcoat with blemishes. As long as...

    Quarterly wax

    It's kind of cheating as this is a new boat. It's not hard to maintain at this point. One thing I learned is hot water does a better job than cold water. I use a Starbright boat wash from the rub rail to the keel. When I am doing my quarterly wax, I'll add a cap full of dawn dish soap too...

    Quarterly wax

    I’m a Collinite 845 insulator wax guy, every 3 months in Florida. I figure if I can tell time from the reflection, it's working to repel UV rays as well.
