Or sometimes you just get lucky and find one that has been hiding at a dealers lot. I got my 2019 2530 new this year in March. Sometimes they just find their way through the cracks. Based on your hull numbers and pictures looks like the guys at Dare were taking care of you about the same time...

I had a parker 2120 since 2010 and upgraded to a 2019 2530 I found left over in February this year. I have always liked and seen the 2530 but agree that they are hard to come by and don't often see them for sale. I think a big part of the reason the 2530 I got was left over so long is it was...

Great boats for camping. I recently upgraded from a 2120 to a 2530 as I have 2 kids and camping on the 2120 was not our cup of tea. My 2120 was sold to a friend who has 3 kids and they have camped on the 2120. They put a tent on the back deck but it didnt leave much space for getting around...

I have an Expedition with the 3.5 ecoboost and the heavy duty tow package and have used it to tow my 2530 several times 30+ miles. The ecoboost engine seems to not really mind too much. I don't think there would be any problems with the 2320. With the old 2120 on the expedition it was no big...

As a note Andy, I am not sure we have passed your place specifically in the past but my dad and his group from the Annapolis area head south every year to north myrtle beach to winter over. I have gone north one year and south another with him down the ICW so I think we have come up and down the...

Boat is a 2019 leftover. It doesn’t have the T plates in the roof making wire routing etc a bit more difficult. I think that the lack of production for the 2530 has led to minimal updates of molds etc. Just based on my evaluations of this boat the reason it sat on the lot for two years is it...

Thanks guys. We have enjoyed our first 7 hours this spring since getting the boat in March. Yet another advantage of the Cabin is we were able to get out in mid March to visit with my dad as he came through northbound for Annapolis. We love parker boats and can't see getting anything else...

Our 2120, which I found on the forums here in June 2010 ended up on steroids this winter and has grown a little bit. The new owner of the 2120 is the same person who introduced me to the pilot house boats we came to love. With a very Irish heritage and 2 little ones with a propensity for...

I had a similar issue on my 2008 2120. I lubricated the rubber gasket with some silicone spray but same some limited improvements. What I ended up doing was just putting a finger on the gasket as I slid the window back and it all ended up staying in place. if you look at the rear of the...

Thanks Steve. I understand. Ryan

Thanks for that Steve. One last thing. I measured tonight and got that the cables should be 21' for bulkhead station to motor, 8' from bulkhead to helm, and 10' hydraulic hoses. Any chance you got receipts showing what was used when your boat was done or any chance you can see the numbers on...

Those are very helpful. Thanks. The box looks good. I think I will have to try and build something like that. How thick of starboard was used for that? The only other picture I would really like to see if you had a chance to get one for me is behind the captain's seat where the control...

Thanks for the reply Kevin. I have seen your boat a lot and really like it. The inside console in the 25 is laid out a little better for setting up the dual station. On the 21 and 23 the control is mounted to the cabin wall. The stock control bolts through the side so I am trying to figure...

I have searched and read all the topics I could on the 2nd stations. I am in the process of installing a second station on a 2008 2120. I am interested in if anyone has any pictures of the way Parker drills through the bulkhead and runs the hoses and control cables. I am also interested in...

Here are 2 links to previous discussions on covers. I had to have one made custom for the boat. It was the easiest way. It was about 1k for the cover all said and done. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10437 viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11076

There was a thread about this a while back. I put my pictures in that thread. Here is a link to the other thread. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10437&p=75445#p75445

Right now I have no poles. The hose test it had no issues. It seems to be sloped enough and tight enough without poles. There is a strap that holds the back tight over the motor. We will see how the first storm goes. Hampton roads area of VA gets some nasty summer storms. Hoping it keeps the...

So after some shopping around I managed to find someone I was comfortable with making me a cover for right at $1k. It is nicely done i think. Reinforced in the right places, around the anchor on the pulpit and for the rocket launchers on the roof. It even covers the motor. The boat is a 2120...

Well I just got a quote from a company in Virginia Beach to make a cover for my 2120 and they want $2300. I am not sure I am ready to swallow that pill yet. If you try the generic cover I would be interested in how it fits.

I have a 90 lb yellow lab that is now 3 years old. She just jumps off the pier into the boat and off the boat onto the pier. The only time she has had any issue was when it was super low tide and the top of the gunnel was about 1.5 ft below the dock so she had to get from the floor to the...
