After selling my Pathfinder 1810, I was searching for a new boat that was a little better riding and newer. My friend sent me a link to Facebook ad for a 2016 Parker and the rest is history. Parker’s aren’t that common here in Florida and I had never been on one before. I was immediately impressed with the boat. Although the previous owner was rough on the boat I believe after a few minor gel coat repairs she will be good to go for years to come. A few hours with the polisher has already made a huge difference. I also had new canvas made for the Bimini.

It’s a 2016 with 124 hours on the engine. It also came with a Minn Kota ipilot.

Three questions:
Where can I get the tan color gel coat?

Is it normal for the center console to have water in it after a hard rain?

What size tackle trays fit?

Thanks!

Congratulations and Nice Boat! With regards to your center console question, did a lot of water enter the console area? I would try to ***** where the water crept in from…then find a remedy for it
 
Welcome to the forum Shane. Congratulations on your beautiful Parker. Can you update us on the launch?;)
 
Welcome. There are weep holes that need to be cleaned (and opened up a bit). MY console gets sand in it when people shove their crap in there.
Water also can enter from cup holders if you have and the front seat lid.
 
<Where can I get the tan color gel coat?>
Even if you could get the exact same color it wouldn't match. Your boat is 6-7 years old and the gelcoat has faded. Especially if it has been stored outside. A professional can match the color though.
