    Prop advice

    I don't know if it will be any help to you, by I have a 2320 and switching to the Proptech 4 blade was amazing (in terms of going through chop, lost about 5mph on top - in flat water) See post #63...

    Atlantic City Boat Show

    Yeah, I know. I'm kind of the opposite of that dude. Life is too short to get upset about other humans trying to enjoy what you have, I really don't mind sharing a boat in that way. Let's face it: It is such a privilege to own a boat, if more people can enjoy it, it just makes me feel less...

    Ready For 2022

    Okay... next year, I'm going to listen and follow wiser members of this forum, like @Mpellet. Current situation, lol: Speaking of penalties for early withdrawal... :cool:

    Atlantic City Boat Show

    Well... I know. BUT - how else would the rest of us be able to see them? I'm kind of agnostic about it. Glad they had boats to display. Personally, I would let them have mine if they wanted it for a display, as long as it is a dealer I know, and they return it clean. But that's just me.

    Ready For 2022

    It is an aftermarket hitch receiver for LC200, utilizes factory front haul attachment mounts. I use the Weigh Safe hitch which I flip up between front and back to adjust for height.

    Atlantic City Boat Show

    It was a lot more busy than we expected. Way more busy as compared to the NYC and NJ/Edison shows this year. It was great to see the Parker aisle was the busiest spot at the show! But just like the other shows, few Parker boats on display, and the ones they had were already sold. Spoke with...

    Ready For 2022

    She is out of storage, all cleaned up, and ready to roll! Gotta love the front hook, the best way to maneuver in and out, it's like riding a forklift; my gate around the house is less than 10' wide, I have mere inch or two to spare w/guide posts...

    New Power Head Yamaha F250XCA

    Please don't take it as any sort of a "dis" as I'm only asking for my own information - wonder if you observed milky oil or was there anything else that indicated the problem. And thank you for sharing, I get lazy checking engine oil, really should be done every trip.

    Question about Parker Boats

    That is good to know. I still was completely unimpressed by the fittings such as windshield frame that seemed cheap (in a premium brand). Not that I would ever consider a GW. The styling is stodgy. To me, Parker styling is "classic", and the build (judged by my own boat and what I'd seen at boat...

    Question about Parker Boats

    Parkers are just so solid, there is no flexing of the hull, cabin, gunnels, no matter how hard you push it. Most newer boats with similar cabin/PH design we have personally looked at, and tested, especially the cute ones like Cutwater /Ranger Tug frankly feel almost flimsy next to Parker; all...

    Question about Parker Boats

    Good info - I'll be watching for that. Given they are already sold out of all 2022 and 2023 model year units... those 2830 would likely not be available for few years. Hopefully they will keep making them solid as a tank, plus add a real head as a comfort feature - for us aging dads with large...

    Question about Parker Boats

    Those were my thoughts, too. Thought maybe just a fluke, if not for some other brand new GWs on the floor, not impressive. The Parkers I saw on the floor, just as my own 2320, seemed completely solid with great finish; I can see how with proper maintenance they last extremely long time. Perfect...

    Question about Parker Boats

    I have owned a 2021 2320, the fit and finish is fantastic. I've had zero issues whatsoever. Will this change? who knows, but looking at other brands at boats shows the Parkers generally stand out for fit and finish and quality. Funny you mentioned GW... These boats are coveted on THT. Here is...

    Need help finding a generic cover for 2320

    I can't find my ordering info, will post if I do. The cover is great. I adjusted the straps and it survived a few inches of snow storms, some very strong winds, so far so good.

    Making our Parker just a little bit better.

    AMEN! Very well said! --

    Making our Parker just a little bit better.

    That looks great! Should be a factory option if you ask me, lol.

    Value on 2017 2520XL SC

    ^^^^ I agree! Nevertheless, "fair market price" for this boat, if in like new condition, is currently above 100k.

    Value on 2017 2520XL SC

    I think you are way low. Of course it depends on the condition of the boat, what's included, electronics etc., but if it is in like new condition with newer electronics it would list for 120-130 and up. It is a crazy market. Most will say the current formula for a "used in like new condition"...

    Wouldn't want to be there right now...

    Love the Cape Cod but wouldn't want to be there right now... That's "No Country for My Parker".
