    2021 Parker 2320 and Minn Kota Trolling motor installation.

    I would not change a thing. What am I two years out? Not a single failure. In my opinion, there is no better way to mount an 87” trolly on a Parker pilot house.

    Half tower on 18 Parker?

    You do not want a tower, 1/2 tower on a 18 foot boat. 21' is the minimum for safety.

    Boat For Sale 2016, Custom 1801 CC FOR SALE

    Beautiful pipework. Travis was the best in the industry. I have been using Quality T tops Tarpon Springs for pipework for nearly 10 years. It was quite a blow when Travis died earlier this year. Your 1801 looks beautiful and functional. That is a great price by the way. Best.

    2021 Parker 2320 and Minn Kota Trolling motor installation.

    I made the template out of 1/2" marine ply. Then, I brought the template to Boatronics N. Florida. The boys there cut out the aluminum plate for me and had it powder coated locally. I picked it up and installed it. Boattronics/ Tony Eden: Phone: (904) 545-1270 But, if you call, they just...

    2021 Parker 2320 and Minn Kota Trolling motor installation.

    That's literally double the capacity that you need. Remember, with Lithium your "amp hours" capacity is doubled...so a 50 ah lithium is equivalent to 100ah AGM. Go with (3) 50ah lithium 12 volts in series, and you won't be dissapointed. I personally went with RELION lithium as that is the...

    Trolling motor thread - specific to Rhodan

    that’s my Parker and my installation. I’ll post a video of me deploying it the next time I’m out. I spent hours days and weeks researching the topic before I committed to this format for installation. I don’t see a better way with all the variables that were important to me to install the...

    What's better for 2820: Twin 150 or 300/350 duoprop?

    I had a 2830 with twin 225's Yes, it was a little heavier w/ the extended cabin. But, that boat was a fuel pig, and that is why I sold her. She really needs AT LEAST twin 250's. But, I suspect twin 300's would make that hull come alive. A pair of 150's? That is a horrible idea: She COULD get on...

    1996 2320 Trailer question

    oh yeah, looking good brother!

    How many can fit in cabin of 2320

    3 grown men can fit in the cabin area underway in the 2320. I run a 4th guy on a cooler in the cockpit.

    1996 2320 Trailer question

    If you space your inside bunk to inside bunk at 44" you'll be dead nutz for easy loading. That is where I set my 2320 bunks on the trailer and the boathouse lift. It's ideal spacing.

    Rust on new boat

    The main problem is improper bedding. Buy your replacement hardware, remove the old, clean everything with "super stainless", bed with 4200 or UV 4000 or your adhesive sealant of choice, then, reinstall all screws, hardware, bolts with adequate bedding compound. If parker spent 20 cents and...

    Big step up from a Gheenoe - 2003 1801

    Great motor choice. Way to go. That 1801 will open up all new fishing grounds for you. Enjoy !

    2021 2302 Ride Quality

    Assuming your title should have read "Parker 2320", I would not let the comfort of the boat underway dissuade you from purchasing this hull. I have a 2320, and she rides like a dream. As noted above, you can't run 36mph in a 3 foot sea at 7 seconds, but when the seas kick up on the way home...

    Can’t buy a new Parker

    I've owned them both: the Albury 23 and the Jones Brothers 26 Cape Fisherman. If you can afford the 27 Albury, there isn't a boat that compares to it in it's class. I wouldn't think twice about a 27 Albury....but again, I can't get away from my pilothouse boats.....

    Warranty question

    100% agreed. I try to minimize how much a dealership actually touches my boat.

    Does the 2501 dvcc ride like a 30’ boat

    That is a very subjective question: The 2501 DV is a beast of a hull. I fished off one in the gulf of mexico with twin 225 Optimax motors. She was wide, solid, and stable. Does it ride like a 31 Contender? No. But, that's apples to oranges and not a fair comparison. A better comparison...
