(Also) new to me Parker 1801

[Shane]

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.
