I used AwlGrip in the color Oyster White and was very happy with the match

I would definitely think you'd need (want) a SeaStar powersteering pump with T-300's and 2 helms. While you're at it, incorporate SeaStar's autopilot pump to the powersteering pump.

I re-painted the bracket on my 23 DVCC. As you note, the powder-coat has a tendency to flake off. I did not remove the motor and did not remove the bracket from the boat. I did sand with a 5" DA sander starting with 80 grit, then 120 and finally 220. I did not remove all the...

In this recent market, I think that you'll be able to sell a new(er), well maintained, well known boat model with several dozen clean pictures without a sea trial or without a broker.

It will come out (the plug) with a larger wrench. Use a pipe wrench if necessary. I've never seen a situation where you need to remove the entire phalange due to a stuck drain plug.

20mph in 3-4ft seas is very impressive

What you are describing has been done many times on may different brands of boat, including Parker. Despite the intimidation-factor, it's not a hard job. The hardest part is making the first cut.

I see that you found a good spot for the electronic compass inside the cabin...... good to hear! Having experienced your same dilemma on several different boats, I've found that as long as you are 3ft away from magnets, metal (aluminum not included), LARGE electronics, speakers, amps and...

I sent you a message. I recommend the Mercury ECO 18" for the absolute best performance. The Mercury Mirage or Yamaha SWS in 19" are both very close to the ECO in terms of performance/fuel economy at a much more reasonable purchase price over the ECO ...... I think the ECO is well over...

I saw a picture of the new 22ft Parker which reportedly replaces the 21 and 23 ft hulls. The 22ft is a 2-piece hull with a drop-in liner. Seating in the rear as well as up front. Price tag is $150k. Looks like a SeaHunt. I have to be honest ..... I'm very disappointed to see the...

As I recall, it's 16 -17"

Ok ..... Apelco was a "brand" acquired by Raytheon in 1959/1960. I think that last Apelco product I saw in a store was at least 30 years ago so you are really reach back a LONG ways and hold a grudge for a really long time. Raymarine does indeed offer incentives to retails. Just like...

It's not unusual in the large, international, Fortune 500 companies to buy/sell parts of the parent. This happens every single day. FLIR did sell the Raymarine branch to Teledyne in January 2021. FLIR bought Raymarine in 2010 for $180m and did an excellent job putting $$ into...

The trailer isn't setup correctly for the Parker. First, the axles are too far back. Try to move the axles forward such that the front tire sits vertical with the middle/aft of the console. The rear tire should be slightly aft of the console. This will allow less weight on the tongue of...

I'm not really addressing you Wart on this reply ..... but at the same time, I am. You can respond here if you want but I'm not looking for a fight. I'm simply trying to enlighten others. Wart has some very strong opinion. Some are based upon facts and experience. Others based upon...

When I owned a 2300, yes, I did install a Rev4 prop (I didn't like the performance). I then installed larger trim tabs. They were marginally effective in achieving the goal of flattening the planing attitude of the boat. I then installed a Permatrim. That was significantly effective...

Yes to the Permatrim

You have the 3.3l F250 with a 2:1 gear reduction. The Mercury Enertia ECO 18" works great with the 23 DVCC/F250 combination

Sorry to see this Matt. Something is definitely afoul from the factory on this one ..... you are meticulous with your equipment.

You need to weigh under 150lbs to fit into the console. Otherwise, cut a bigger access and install a bigger hatch on the port-side of he console to allow bigger bellies into the electrical connections.
