Hate to do it, but moved 35 miles from inlet, much of it Manatee zones! Just can't get offshore like the boat deserves. My beautiful Parker 2520 has about 200 hours, 2/3rds of that warming up twice a week or sunset cruises on the ICW. The boat spent all but the last year or so on a lift in a boathouse used lightly by a retired old salt. I bought it and went over it with the FTC to take me 70 miles out across the 'stream from St.Augustine. Was not satisfied 'til perfect. New Manifolds, Risers, Circ.pump, Raw Water pump, Starter, Both Fuel Inj. pump assy's, injectors hoses and more on bulletproof 350ci Injected Chevy motor. Sounds like a real boat should. OutDrive has new bellows, flex intake, coupling and seals. Trued both SS props. Plus more, with tools and spares. The thing rumbles nicely, and I was amazed that it tops out at about 43 MPH and cruises nicely at 3150rpm @ 25mph burning 2.5gph. That's 10 MPG! The interior and exterior are like new. Equipped with Raymarine 70 Pathfinder Radar & GPS, Series 50 depth finder, Icom 502 Pro Marine radio, 115 gal.fuel, 30 gallon live well, SW washdown, HD electric windlass with Danforth, 20' 3/8 chain & 250' rode, 6 pole gold rocket on roof, 4 holders in gunnels, deck and interior lights, 4 month bottom paint, Stainless trim tabs and more. Clear title in hand.
It's been my dream boat for over 20 years since i first saw one at Okracoake, but I need less of an offshore boat for the fishing I'm doing. I have a little over $40k in it so we can start offers near there. I thought I would give the Parker community first shot before I list it (or change my mind). I can't seem to figure out how to attach my pics to this ad, so until I get it figured out (Help!) I will Email a full set of pictures if you send me your address. It's the best boat I ever owned and will be sorry to see it go.
Ok, I scrolled down to the Attach section, yea, I do feel mentally challenged. Here's the Pics (hopefully)
