I visited my dealer today to see my new 2017 2820 Open Back and to talk about the dealer installed options and rigging. Once in the boat I noticed the hatch by the raw water wash down was different, different size and had a latch like the fish well rather than the plastic push latch. So, I opened it up and guess what I saw? Parker finally moved the battery switches to a useable location! No more laying on your belly and reaching around. Great change. I don't know exactly when the change occurred or what models are changed, but it was an unexpected bonus for me. I also learned that the new 2820s have a water tank and fresh water wash down as well as the raw water wash down, I somehow missed that. New 2-tone seats and cushions look nice as do the flip up bolsters.
