As much as I love my dream boat, I have decided to sell my Parker and get a flats boat I will use more here in Flagler Beach Florida. It is a 2001 SC with only about 230 total hours with a super efficient MV hull powered by a Volvo 5.7 Duo-Prop out-drive (Bulletproof Fuel-Injected 350 Chevy). Sounds and runs like a boat should. Economy cruise at about 25 mph @ 3100 rpm, tops out at over 40 mph at normal load. I have owned it for about 3 years now. I purchased it from a retired gentleman who kept it on a lift since new at 152 Hrs. I had planned on getting my 6 Pack license and Semi-retire and have other fools pay for some of my fishing, but my situation changed.
The boat is equipped with originally installed Raymarine Radar/GPS combo and separate Raymarine Sonar of the same vintage, all working fine. Elec. Anchor Windlass, trim tabs, radio, over-sized railroad air horns, 40 gallon livewell w/aerating pump, fwd and aft bilge pumps (900/1200 GPM each), salt water washdown w/ pressure switch and coiled hose, Overstuffed helm chair (and unused original), snap-in zippered rear pilothouse enclosure, opening helm windshield w/wiper, porta-potty (never used), all manuals, spares and tools you would stock if you planned on going anywhere and getting back.
I replaced everything mechanically you could think of when first purchased, as it had sat for about 2 years without being used and we all know how bad that is. So here is a list of what I did initially (with receipts). ENGINE: New Hi/Low pressure fuel injector pump assy & Injectors, Circ and Raw water pumps w/pulley & bearing, (RW Cooled), all hoses, Belt & tensioner, exhaust risers and manifolds, elbows and rubber couplings, starter, alternator as well as the usual plugs, filters and tune-up twice since, last one 2 weeks ago. OUTDRIVE: The outdrive was removed and checked by a Volvo/Penta dealer. The first removal and inspection is a big deal as the unit has to be removed with torches the first time and it involves replacing a lot of the SS fasteners and all the seals. The props were fine, two bearings were replaced as well as the flex tubes, bellows, and fluids of course. It was also just re-inspected and serviced two weeks ago. HULL: Wet-sanded w/1000, polished and 2 coats of Collanite on Hull and topsides, bottom painted w/Trinidad's best. (All of this was just repeated 5/20/13, except for the wet sanding). The boat looks like new except for the slightly chipped and faded decals. New ones on order and will be included if you buy it.
I'm asking $35k for the boat. At full price it comes with an aluminum 7500 lb. dual wheel aluminum trailer with new tires, suspension and disk surge brakes. If you want to negotiate down, I can keep the trailer. Might throw in some Penn rods and reels to 9/0 if you don't beat me up on the price. If you have questions or want more pics, contact me here, email at [email protected] or 386-383-6134. Thanks.
