2530 picture thread SHOW THEM OFF

Yeah, 2 couples would be awkward unless you threw an air mattress in the cockpit.

I think 2530 with motor on bracket is a little over 30' with the motor trimmed up. Tip to tip.....

It's like 31 1/2ft with the motor down. Back of the motor to tip of pulpit.

It's no different in "Length" than a 2520

I looked, I have no pics with people in vee berth.

As mentioned 6'+ people may stick their feet out the door or try to lay on angle. Single berth is as wide as the dinette, tight for too (may fall off). And if you make it wider you take away the aisle.

Here are dimensions of vee from Parker site.

•Forward Cabin: (76"l, 64"w, 44" hdrm over bunk)

As others said, the cockpit if weather is OK.

Thanks for the information. My marina is really strict about fitting into your slip. 30' is the max I can get (two year wait for the next size up, a 34'). I suppose I could just leave the engines down, just have to clean them a much more often.

Comparing to an Albin 28, which would also be over length unless I remove the swimstep but a lot of boat for the money, and can easily sleep two couples. You guys have all the cool boats on the east coast...

I sent you an email on the El Mar.
