Introducing our new Parker boat, Tunacious

[SPUDFL]

Hi Guys,
Thought it was time to break the ice and introduce our boat, Tunacious, to the group. She is a 2005 2520 SL that my son-in-law and I picked up the spring of 2012. She is shown here at our mooring in Eliot, ME on the Piscataqua River. Don't mind my son-in-law, I know he's a little ugly but the boat is sweet. :lol: As I am 5.5 hours north in Aroostook County, he gets to spend more time on the boat but my time is "quality" time. Our primary use is tuna fishing but also have baptized her with the blood of cod, haddock,sharks, and stripers this past summer. She is a great boat, ideal for our use and we couldn't be happier. This site was instrumental in our choice of a Parker and after we looked at the first one it was a matter of which one, not if! We are doing some mods to the electronics, pole holders, and just completed the addition of a gin pole. I will post a pic of the boat with the new pole in the projects section when I get one. We'll be in touch.

Here's the pic of the new gin pole for those tuna fishermen who might be interested.

For give my ignorance, but what is a "gin pole" and what is it used for..Im assuming a pulley goes on it, but what are you pulling with it?

We'll attach a triple pulley to the pole and be able to lift in all those 1000# tuna we are going to catch this summer. Look out .COM!! :lol:
