Hey Capt Matt, you mentioned "deck and tank replaced/after a long fight with Parker"... Are you saying Parker assisted (with $$ ? With tech/info?.. ) with the replacements?

Hi Kim, welcome to ClassicParker, and congrats on your new 2120! We have a 2520 with a typical bimini, that you mentioned you are not interested in, but a fellow ClassicParker person came by the house one day in his boat that had a really nice hard cockpit cover.... I took a short video of it...

EDIT: somehow I messed up my 'reply'...... The 2520 XLD is 31' 1" LOA. (a bit more than 32 feet if you add the anchor protrusion) and your 2820 is 35' 9". (call that 36'). And that's with the motors down. If you're keeping it in a wet-slip I'm sure you'd want to raise the motors out of the...

Parker vs million-dollar boat; "It's old, but it's paid for!" I'd take the VanDutch 55, sell it, and buy a fleet of Parkers! ☺

Hey Caleb, Welcome to Classic Parker! Nothing wrong with starting out on an 18 footer and it can handle 4 people nicely. The 18 is a great boat, and seems to always be in demand. Historically a lot of folks move up in size over the years, so the 21 would save you the trouble of inching up a few...

My opinion is, you'd have plenty of get-out-of-the-weather space in a 2520 for all; and usable, closable head area in the cuddy. (there are a lot of folks on this site that have the heads, and seldom or never use them. I'm one of them.) Not as much privacy or room in the 23 or 21, although most...

Hi Jermedic, How many are in 'the family' ?; how much space do you need? Parker's designers have done a great job with the profile 'proportions' of the 21, 23, 25 pilothouse's; from a distance it is hard to tell which one is which. As for actual useable space/volume, they are what would be...

I had to get part of my body into the rode locker to reach it, but chose not to use it. The 'tab' with the hole does not seem very substantial, and has raw sharp edges. If it came into play in rough seas with the bow slamming up and down, it could chafe/cut the anchor line. I use the 2X4 method...

Diamond Sea Glaze makes the forward, opening windows on most of the 'newer' pilot house models. Not for the 2510. (And yes, the people at Diamond Sea Glaze are a pleasure to deal with; I also ordered door-dogs through Diamond Sea Glaze and they were very helpful in helping me get them to the US...

It's usually in the very bottom, forward part of the anchor locker. And as in the case of a 2013 2520, it's a thin metal piece with a hole, that's bolted to the bolt that holds the bow-eye trailering hook.... If for some reason they didn't install one, get a small piece (3.5" X 3.5" X 1.5") of a...

Hi Bnaught, Good looking Parker you got there! Welcome to CP!

Great looking Parker!

Hi Stanley, 'storytime's' post is an old one, from 2009/2010.... likely no longer valid....

Very nice, thank you for posting!

I have the same good experience as you, with the performance of our Garmin Radar. It works perfectly fine installed sitting flat. (ours is on the roof and not on a pedestal, although I like the pedestal mounted ones too). It came with the boat, so I didn't have a voice nor an opinion about how...

I think I just answered my own question, thanks to Google Earth;

This is crazy-cool! And it brought back memories of when, in 1983 we bought an Albin trawler, at Albin Marine in Cos Cob CT on the Mianis River. The Albin (and all the other boats at that marina) are lowered into the river with an old 'steam-shovel'- like machine system. They used straps and...

Not mine, but someone else's

I have a new (2020) trailer that is used only for hurricane haul-outs. It has not been used in nearly 2 years. It's kept outside as I have no where 'inside' to store it. I have pressure-treated 2x12 boards flat on the ground under the tires, and have covers over mostly the entire trailer...
