    Broken Skeg

    The Permatrims are awesome. My boat rides so much better with these installed on the Twin Yamaha 150's. They smooth out the ride, especially in the afternoon chop we experience here on the West coast. I highly recommend Permatrims for anyone with an outboard motor. Cheers, Kadman

    Broken Skeg

    We have Skeg guards that work really well. See the attached photo. The stainless steel guards have a little horizontal plate welded on the bottom. These have saved me on a few occasions. Cheers, Kadman

    West Coast Parker Dealers

    West Coast Marine is a very good dealership. The service department with Gonzalo and his staff are excellent. I have had 3 Parkers and a Novurania serviced by them over the past 13+ years. There are some new boats on the lot that I passed over the weekend. Not sure of their status. Good luck...

    Fresh water tank

    We are very happy with a Sun Shower for the 2520 XLD. In the winter the sun shower is put in a Yeti Hopper Soft Cooler. It stays hot for at least 12 hours and is a very welcomed amenity after night diving in Jan/Feb. We also have a 14 gallon water tank as well under the Port Side passenger seat...

    Trim Tabs and Hydrofoil

    Installed Permatrim's on my twin Yamaha 150's in January. They are better than advertised. A huge improvement in the ride and handling of our 2520XLD.

    Wanted !! 1999-2010 2320 or 2520

    Having owned both a 2320 and 2520 there is a huge difference with the extra 12 inches of beam. Our first 2520 SLD had a 250HP Yamaha 4 stroke which was adequately powered for our use as divers. Our current 2520 XLD has twin 150's and this set up is perfect. Great combination of speed, ride and...

    Newbie

    Hi Kevin, Congrats on the new Parker 2520 XLD. I am the guys who commented on your boat from a Black Ford Explorer on PCH and Bayside Drive (Newport Beach) after you just picked her up. I believe it was Sat Feb 20th. I have a 2520 XLD as well. See you at the island. Cheers, Joe

    2120 Parker Repower Cost

    Costamesaspear, Gonzalo at West Coast Marine has done a great job servicing my Yamaha engines for the past 12 years. He should be competitive on a repower quote. Yamaha has offered the 3+3 warranty in the past. Good luck with your Parker boat purchase and repower. Cheers, Kadman

    Towing Help

    Parker 541, I started with a 2320 SLD in 2004 and now have a 2520 XLD with a bracket and twin Yamaha 150's. There is a huge difference in stability with the extra foot of beam on the 2520. Since this is a big investment I would seek out a ride on each boat to determine what would work best for...

    2010 2320 SL For Sale

    In 2016 I purchased a 9 year old used 2520 XLD from a private party in North Carolina as there were no used Parkers in So Cal at the time. High resolution pictures were very helpful in analyzing the over all condition of the boat from 3000 miles away. I had owned two previous Parkers in the...

    Parker 2520 with single 250HP

    Amarino, I ran a 2008 2520 SLD with a 250 Yamaha four stroke for 4 years. This model is a Deep Vee hull with the engine mounted on the transom. The power was fine for our needs here in So Cal running to the local islands and off shore chasing fish. We typically always had 3 to 4 guys on board...

    Bull red fishing with my children Parker 2320: Old Glory

    A perfect example of why you buy a Parker. It looks like a great day on the water. Life long memories being made and the kids could not be more excited to catch a monster fish. The Sport Cabin makes all the difference in the world. I went from a Robalo CC to a Parker 2320 SLD when my kids were...

    Replacement seat cushions

    I purchased vinyl coaming pads this past summer from Michael. He has the pattern and sells skins ready to go for Parker Coaming pads.

    23 DV notch transom

    I had a 2004 2320 SLD which was the pilot house with a notch transom. It served us well here on the West Coast running to the Channel Islands and making our way home in following seas. Good luck with your purchase. Cheers, Kadman

    Wipers stuck "up"

    This happens to my wipers all the time. Just bend them back down and apply pressure so the wiper blades come in contact with your wind shield. This will insure that your wiper blades work when turned on. Cheers, Kadman
