    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    I removed the original helm seat and substituted a leaning/tractor-seat model that I use like a leaning post (99% of the time) but still lets the Admiral sit if she needs to. I never sit at the helm and this replacement had been on my list for a few years. Back in 2015 I tried the Todd single...

    New 2520XLD Pricing - - - WOW WOW WOW

    That's a mighty fine ClassicParker you have there. Better still is the Peace of Mind you have knowing you have ben through all her systems and fittings and there are no "hidden gems" like Capt. Nick's disappearing rodholders (above) lurking aboard. I did the same repower/refit in 2015 and...

    New 2520XLD Pricing - - - WOW WOW WOW

    YIKES!. $200k. But wait,,,, check out the fine print....* includes bottom paint and Coast Guard Kit...... now -that's- a bargain!. ...... Boats Inc. is an OK group of folks to work with. In 2004 its where I picked up the 2000 2520MV hand-me-down from Capt. Nick that I still ride today.

    Update to one of the most rare Parker’s out there?

    Nice Rig! What's the backstory? Model year, power plant etc. Any performance specs? Oh, and can I borrow that keel on the next really windy day for my 14 deadrise MV so I don't get blown around like a leaf on a puddle? I like the security system you have on duty at the helm also..........

    replacement cushions

    Hi Mike, Sorry to hear of your loss, and fully understand your need to slow down as I am in the same "old bones" category. We appreciate your checking in with us and sharing your plans. You have a loyal following here on ClassicParker, and it appears that you have done well to make sure we...

    Sealing rubbers dry - basically everywhere

    Sounds like he's describing that a number of his hatch gaskets, o-rings, weatherstrip etc, are cracked, dried out and distorted. Can't imagine a scenario where a 2021 vessel has such a condition due to natural causes, UV, exposure, weathering etc. Maybe the previous owner did an aggressive...

    replacement cushions

    You've got some big shoes to fill Ryan, Mike and his crew turned out some fine cushion craftsmanship. Here's hoping you keep that tradition alive. Are you planning to maintain the Coastal Canvas storefront online, or are you moving it inside of your operation? How can we access your services?

    replacement cushions

    Wow, that's bad news! Mike's work was always top notch and reasonably priced. Was going to hit him up for my 3rd set of cushions soon. I'm sure he's still got all the patterns, so if he isn't planning on retiring, he might open up shop again after his move. Let's hope so. Otherwise I'll...

    What did you pay for your Parker boat and when?

    I’m the lucky guy in Capt. Nick’s narrative above that bought his carefully cared-for 2000 ModV in 2004 for $36k. Eleven years later In 2015 I spent an additional $30k for new 300 hp power, controls, new fuel tank, deck, hydraulic steering, seat, steering wheel, and scupper tubes. Why did I...

    Shrink wrapping a pilothouse

    Hey Bigbri, The reason I cover my 2520 is not to keep snow off the roof, but to keep the cockpit dry during those nasty prolonged freeze/thaw cycles we get here in the Northeast. You know, all through late Jan Feb and March, when that odd foot of snow partially melts down, with an inch of...

    Rebirth of a Classic Parker-2000 2520 MV Yamaha 300 Repower

    Thanks Kevin. I spent a long time on the decision, since the OX66 was still performing well. It came down to doing the project in a controlled and complete fashion, rather than having to rush through just a quick engine swap because the OX66 quit mid-season. And I wanted to do it before I...
