First boat - Parker 1801

[Ozdogg]

Hi all. First of many posts (questions!) I'm guessing. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone. I just bought my first boat; a 2001 Parker 1801 w/ a Yamaha 115. It's in great shape and I'm looking forwarding to crusing/fishing the Cape Cod Bay.

Hi Dave, I also just picked up an 1801, 2000. I'll be running out of Outermost Harbor in Chatham. I am also lookin to add some bow storage. If I run into anything, I'll get in touch. I'd appreciate you doing the same. Thanks, George

Nice. I've been thinking about bow storage as well. Or, maybe a big cooler up there. There's quite a lot of space. Will let you know if I end up doing anything. I've been fishing on a friends boat out of the Oyster River Boatyard for years. I love the Monomoy area. Hoping to trailer over there this year.

Thanks offduty. Do you have that secured in place? My concern with using a cooler is it bouncing around. I don't think bungee cords suffice.

Completely secured… picture was taken prior to installation of cooler tie downs

Check out Kennedy Tie Downs...they have a u bolt type model that is completely removable when the cooler is not installed. Zero trip hazards when the cooler is not there. Quality stuff!
