    NC Dealers and Inventory

    Overwhelming demand coupled with a plant staff reduction due to COVID and transitioning the tooling for the '21 models . Every boat they produce they are selling. New order delivery dates are April according to my local dealer. In general the boat market is HOT. Look around. The lots are empty...

    New Member Intro

    Welcome. I joined Classic Parker in December 2007 and bought my first boat (a 2005 Parker 1801) in June 2015. I'm not sure of the record for joining before being an owner but I can tell you that you will be entirely informed when you do by soaking in the wealth of information here.

    Life span of hoses

    What do you guys do for maintenance and replacing hoses; livewell, bilge, etc. I have a 2005 1801 and while the hoses feel OK, do you replace hoses at regular time intervals as a matter of prevention or do you wait for appearance of imminent failure for replacement? As of now, all the hoses seem...

    Spray Shield, or Flip Up Xducer Bracket, for rooster tail?

    My response is above to your inital post. " I get a slight rooster tail but not as bad as some videos I've seen on other boating sites. The spray from mine doesn't reach the cowling seal. I also don't reach the cruising speeds of the boats I've seen with the problem so I may be avoiding the...

    Spray Shield, or Flip Up Xducer Bracket, for rooster tail?

    My GT41-TM transducer installation on a stern saver. The transducer cable was fed through the cable hole on the starboard/aft corner under the deck up through the collar inside the helm. I was replacing an old transducer so I attached the new transducer cable to the old cable as a pull for...

    Spray Shield, or Flip Up Xducer Bracket, for rooster tail?

    I have a Garmin 74SV with the GT41-TM transducer. I get a slight rooster tail but not as bad as some videos I've seen on other boating sites. The spray from mine doesn't reach the cowling seal. I also don't reach the cruising speeds of the boats I've seen with the problem so I may be avoiding...

    Gel Coat Damage / Chip Repair

    I was the unfortunate recipient of a knock at the dock this past weekend and the gel coat was chipped on the port/stern corner just about the swim ladder. As you can see in the pictures, the chip exposed the fiber. The chip is about the size of a quarter. Will this require being sealed, built up...

    1801 Console and Leaning post cover help

    Your profile doesn't state you location, but if you're in or around Morehead City/Beaufort contact Cape Lookout Canvas & Customs. They made the full boat cover, console cover and bimini top sleeve cover for my 2005 1801. The material is the heavy sunbrella, 10-yr warranty in navy blue. Still in...

    1801 trailer question

    I have a Load Rite trailer with two sets of self-adjusting bunks and keel rollers. There is a forward keel roller near the eye hook and a roller on which the keel sits when winched tight. The bunks are tough to see due to shading but the one you see is the forward bunk. There is an identical...

    WTB 18 foot with live well and lean post

    No doubt you've searched the likely listing sites. And a quick look this morning showed nothing available within 300 miles of Savannah. I was in your position at this time last year and knew going into the season, finding a specific model, year and options would be tough. I finally found a local...

    2300 SE

    That's my next boat. I like that Carolina Blue. I was at my local Parker Dealer this past weekend for other business and walked onto that same boat just to check it out. Great layout and lots of space. I bought a lightly used 1801 in June so I'm a few years away. Enjoy the new ride.

    Kidde Fire Extinguisher Recall

    I searched but didn't see this already posted. The June issue of Boat US Magazine posted recall information for Kidde's Fire Extinguishers. I have a Kidde on my boat and in my house and I'm guessing some of you do as well. Kidde is providing replacement fire extinguishers for the effected...

    Finally an 1801 Owner

    Thanks Shawnee83. Nice 2120. I'll fish out of the Beaufort Inlet end of the island and spending our time cruising the usual downtown waterfront spots. If you see an 1801 with a family of red heads on it, that's probably us.

    Finally an 1801 Owner

    After registering on this site in December 2007 and living vicariously through you, I've finally become a Parker owner (and first time boat owner). I brought my 2005 1801 home today. The two-owner 1801 was bought locally and kept local. The boat was serviced by the local Parker dealer. 162...
