Complete Parker Restoration!!! (w/pics)

[BayRat166]

Just did a total restoration on my 25'97 Parker and she is a real pretty piece of machinery I get alot of looks out there.

The only thing I have left to do is repower her I was thinking I would use a suzuki 150 or a yamaha 150. What do you guys recommend?

As you can see in the pics I added a costom paint scheme I found the plain off white color to be a tad ugly in my opinion. (Please dont beat me up to bad it is just my preference.)

Well here are the pics of my beutiful baby!!!

I wish I had befor pics she was a real mess be for I completed soup to nuts restoration.

Yeah, nice camo job on the inside too!

... ohhhh, wait a minute ... that's just dirt, LOL :shock: !

Gawd, that's so ugly I think we should put a 'Judge' sticker on the stern ...

OK now... We have to have more photos, and I'd like to know if you extended the cabin, or was it that way when you got it? That is not a stock standard Parker.

I feel like I've seen that boat before too...

A single 150 on that boat? No way Jose`!
Maybe a single 250...

After looking at the photos again, it appears you have rigging tubes for twins.

Traderonline.com huh....
Gentlemen, I believe we've just been played. :evil:

Time to come clean BayRat... or risk being deleted from the user database.

The restoration job is phenominal! Really you outdid yourself!
Make sure you put a black motor on the back of that beauty. I think a I think it will blend in well with your designer paint job.

LOL...I didnt mean to play anyone just looking to give you guys a good laugh.

I have been reading your site for a while and you guys do some top notch work, I am from Lindenhurst NY (south shore Long Island) and every other boat is a parker and that is because they are second to none on quality and reliability.

I am actually not a parker owner but I hopefully will be in the near future. and look forward to sharing ideas with you guys and contributing to this site on a little more useful basis then my above post.

Sorry if anyone thinks I was trying to pull a fast one.
