    Deep-V '97 Parker 2530 with gas I/O, < $15K

    Interesting turn of events, this boat is relisted on Boat Trader, now for 50K, shows National Liquidators as the seller........? I orginally found it on boat trader for 14.5 minimum bid, at that time it was listed on NL's site as up for auction. It is no longer listed on NL, so it appears to me...

    25' with a diesel......questions....

    Brad, Thanks for the reply, I apreciate the advice on the motor........... I was not really looking for a diesel as my use will be occasional at best for the next few years anyway. I am just learning about Parker boats...........they seem very well built and suitable for Alaskan waters...
