    Bow spot light

    I have this setup also and love the way it gives me vision without blinding me. As for blinding others, so will a spot light, that's why you don't use it when approaching others. I use mine when I need to see something like a buoy, another parked boat (not using lights), parking at a marina at...

    Electronics Stolen from my 2017 2820

    Sorry to hear that John and I know exactly the dealer you are referring to. They have so many boats stored there it is not surprising this is happening but disappointing none the less. I am not really sure what they could do to prevent this because unfortunately they have no good way of...

    2520 xld w/ single Yamaha 300

    I don’t have any first hand experience with this combination however JOHNKN, member here, did have this setup and wasn’t happy. I recommend you search his posts. He actually traded. In a brand new boat because of it. Personally, since this model is a deep v, I would think at least twin 200s or...

    Striped Bass Fishing

    Looks like a great day of fishing. This was the time of the year that my area got ready to catch these monster stripers and why I bought my 2320. Unfortunately Omega fishery has destroyed that for the Chesapeake Bay Area. The stripers primary food source is menhaden, as seen in one of your...

    Cleaning Suggestions HELP

    I had a similar problem and found that soft scrub is the easiest and best cleaner for mold and mildew. Because it has bleach in it it’s very similar to Brent’s recipe. I just get the area wet, lightly scrub in the soft scrub and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. I then scrub it hard and you’ll be...

    Trailerable?

    Your 3/4 ton RAM will have no problems pulling that boat, in fact it will have plenty room to spare. The problem may be that the beam is 9'6" and many states require a permit to tow over 8'6". I regularly towed a 9' beam boat in Maryland and didn't have a problem but it could get tight in...

    new model Parker 26SH

    I have no idea what the SH stands for but many companies are creating "Hybrid" models used for bay and flats fishing. So... maybe it stands for Special Hybrid, Series Hybrid, or Sports Hybrid. Just guessing

    Jack plate on a 2320

    I do not have a bracket on my 2320 but I do have a jack plate. It was put on prior to me purchasing and actually works pretty well for exactly what you are describing. I originally, when I purchased the boat, planned to remove the jack plate but I found that it was very beneficial. With this...

    Bottom Paint

    Well, if you can drop it in that easily then I would probably agree to keep it unpainted, it's just another cost and maintenance that you wouldn't need.

    Bottom Paint

    "Worrying about how the next owner will value your boat is akin to not sleeping with your wife so the $ex is better for her next husband. " I love your analogy.... I use to have a boat that was not convenient to trailer around (27' x 9'beam). I tried for a while but noticed it was a hassle...

    How to determine a Mod V versus a Deep V

    Your images did not show up. Below is a picture of a DEEP V & MOD V which will be the easiest way to determine what your Parker is however, with just a single 250 outboard, I would bet you have a mod v.

    How to determine a Mod V versus a Deep V

    Check out these pictures in this thread. For yours, I would assume it's a Mod V since it only has a single 250HP. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=18612&hilit=mod+v+vs+deep+v

    Lori K gets a new tank

    Thanks for posting. Were the stringers and bulkhead damaged at all? I guess on your boat the tank was all the way in the back, if I’m looking at it correctly.

    Striped Bass Stocks

    Agreed, never could you overfish these by hook and line. The commercial fisheries along with Omega corporation have ruined the stripe bass population. Omega targets menhaden by the millions of pounds in the Chesapeake leaving no need for them to travel these areas anymore. Sadly, over 85% of...
