1989 Parker Sou'wester Again

[JoeRiddick]

I am having a hard time replying or uploading so I am going to start over.

Happy Holidays Folks

1989 Parker Sou'wester 18'
2001 mercury 150 2 stroke 90 hours
735 Hours on boat
Teak Package
led lighting
Alpine Cd-Bose Speakers
Lowrance GPS/depthfinder combo
original cooler seat

I have really babied this boat-very near mint--I am a big Parker fan

The teak is a chore as far as maintenance but I really like the look.


Happy Holidays
Joe

Very nice. I bet she's fast with the 150 on it. What t-top is that, it looks good. Been thinking about installing one on my 1700.

The top was a must for me with kids on hot days. I had it made locally and they did a really nice job..even painted the underside to match.
My gps says the boat will do 52 but I'm not sure how accurate that is..Just me and 1/4 tank of fuel.

WOW!! That is beautiful. Can't believe it's an 89. You have truly taken good care of that boat. Your teak looks so good you give "Megabyte" (Kevin) a run for his money. I've had a boat with it and it's a labor of love to keep it looking like that. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful boat, and for what it's worth, I like the teak.
Yes, there is maintenance involved, but oh how nice it looks. 8)

Thanks for your kind words everyone.
I don't get out in it like I used too. With 4 kids I am at the point where I need something bigger with a cuddy.
I wish I could find the original Sou'wester decals or somehow incorporate "classic" above the word Parker.

I am also making an access hatch like the anchor locker door to put on the console so its easier to get to the lifevests. I guess they figured that out a few years after 89 because I have seen several different styles on some 90's models.
