    Check your sealant folks

    AK- You know exactly what I'm talking about. The edge of the deck at the walk through in the picture is WOOD! Watch their construction video - and if dick93 knows what he's talking about - then Parker is NOT using marine grade plywood. And they chop the plywood into pieces instead of using a...

    Stand up Bodick93 - what happened? Did you wimp out?

    SoCal? - you need the Profish 1000 and 700' of anchor rode!

    Check your sealant folks

    I do not like the look of the wood in the photo of the deck edge at the walk through. The plywood appears to be swollen from water absorption... I know from watching their fabrication videos that they do not use a marine grade plywood for these laminate assemblies. Actually looks like cheap...

    Check your sealant folks

    Totally agree, that is an excellent catch. Gotta wonder why this occurred in the first place. This would be a very necessary contact with Parker and their quality control department (big company now that they've changed hands...) for some explanation/reassurance - and that would be for us all...

    Miker1234 - are you west coast or east coast? Upper or lower?

    Lewmar Profish 700 is what Parker installs on the 2320 with 300' of rode plus 10' of 1/4" galvanized chain and a Lewmar 14# Delta galvanized anchor... ( a Danforth works better to hold but doesn't wind up so well on the sprit. The Delta doesn't hold as well but looks perfect on the sprit.) The...

    You are on your way! You probably got the GPS system...? This one has the Garmin GPS but I'm going to wait a while for a radar and auto pilot type things - but did go ahead and had a Lewmar 700 lb. windlass installed. If it's single handed, the auto pilot would be good since this 2320 doesn't...

    The grey (gunmetal grey?) is a grand color for that boat! We attempted to order a Parker 2520 that color until we found out about the delays. Luckily found a 2021 2320 (white) with 27 hours on it...we leaped! And bit the bullet for a trailer for it... Miker1234 - We only live once (as far as we...

    boaters license...

    Those folks (ladies) at VA DMV helped us transfer the title for our boat and sent the paperwork to VA Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) to issue the title. DMV is a little quicker...and issues a 90 day temporary registration while we wait. We were their favorite customers when we paid the...

    Permatrim - looking for feedback

    No, I don't think the Permatrim or trim tabs are hocus-pocus. I also don't think four bladed props are either. I think it is worthy of greater study before adding these 'tweeking' parts and pieces. Apparently just what your thread is about... The whole thing is controversial and asking others...

    Permatrim - looking for feedback

    We were totally mystified and so happy that our boat was on a plane and got there so quickly while on the trailer in the shed. That propeller and piece of aluminum we bolted and welded to the outdrive worked wonders! People on the street at the stop light must think we are geniuses with all the...

    Insurance required to deliver a boat

    We got off uShip! Seems completely and totally full of snapshod, jackshod, and moronophiles who want to drive a truck. Sorry for the profanity! Had one bidder tell me that I was 'incompetent' for asking for his insurance policy records. I'm incompetent for asking? The folks at uShip need to do...

    Insurance required to deliver a boat

    Must be either controversial or a subject that most have not encountered or would rather not discuss the encounter?

    Insurance required to deliver a boat

    Does auto (truck) insurance cover a boat and trailer owned by someone else? For example: What insurance is needed to make a delivery of a boat on a trailer - like on uShip? BTW, I do not recommend uShip!

    He was talking about the ecological effects of the filler. You're right though; the price of the steel ball is immaterial.

    Permatrim - looking for feedback

    What is gained by raising the OB - 2 holes? Isn't there a relationship between where the bottom of the boat ends at the transom and the vertical location of the OB's cavitation plate?

    Permatrim - looking for feedback

    What does Yamaha have to say about warrantying their OB that someone has drilled holes in? If the permatrim had a means of varying the pitch, it could become a hydrofoil... so if the aft edge was pitched downward the force would be increased. Just pondering...
