Let's see your Parker on a trailer

[dcunniff]

Couple more of backside of vee.

Pilot side (not shown) has a drop down panel to access the electronics and wiring.

Right side I added a 110V panel.

Left side in vee has some things I added, and there are some screws showing that hold a horizontal support in the cabin for a cushion. The dinette can be a single berth and the vee is a double berth.

Dana...she is one sweet girl. I only hope I can have one that's like her some day . Oops :shock: !! Only hope that my beauty, "ELENORA"(23'W/A), didn't hear me say that :wink: :lol: .

Looking forward to seeing the interior.

Wow... Amazing what just a bit more pilothouse will get you.
The galley and dinette are a great addition to the p-house.

It would be interesting to know how many of that model go out the door each year, as I can't ever remember seeing one in my area.

She is a Classic Dana!

Mac and Kevin, I don't know how many 2530's are sold, or around.

I know it isn't listed in their brochure. I have some around me, about 3 that I've seen south of Boston. I've seen about 2 on the Cape. Obviously many more 2520's.

For this age, pure fishing guys wouldn't like it with the I/O engine cover in the cockpit and the shorter cockpit due to the extended cabin.

I will say though that I've stepped on 2520's with outboards and noticed shorter freeboard. My freeboard is higher, I'm about 6'1" and the coaming hits me above the kneecap.

It's the age old story, wanting more cockpit and fishing setup or more interior.

If you haven't see a 2530 interior more up close, mine has two burner alcohol stove, 12 V only fridge, and 10 gal water tank. The dinette can convert to a single berth.

I'll see if I have anything more for views to show. I posted the photos so far that show more of the overall view.

Dana, The 2530 'Extended Cabin' is still listed in the 2007 lineup.

Right Kevin.

The 2530 is on the website. It isn't shown in the printed brochure.

Couple more exterior ones and somewhat relate to the "trailer" theme.

Is raining this morning and just ran outside with me wife's digital camera.

Waxed the tow vehicle Friday for days of rain coming. Is an '05 F-350 Supercab short bed, 4x4 diesel.

Also tarped the 2530 Friday, a bit late. Called it a season Columbus Day weekend, had it winterized the following week and then have postponed covering it to do other things, mainly sportsman club related things and yardwork.

Sweet truck.
That is what I want... but in white, with a 4-door cab.

This one won't pull the Parker.

 

[dcunniff]

Last batch of interior and cockpit views, Kevin.

Will do in more than one posting.

[dcunniff]

Last batch if all fit.

Beautiful...
I love the layout and the amenities. :wink:

Dang...! Look at the size of that blue! :shock:

I wish we still had them like that here in the Chessie...
We did... once apon a time.

 

[dcunniff]

Kevin, the bluefish shot is from 1999. Haven't taken a photo of one since.

They are up here. I was in the wrong place or not out at the right time. Also, as you know they can be there but not want what you have.

They also move fast when they're boiling on top chasing bait.

This one won't pull the Parker.

It'll pull it...just won't stop it. When I have to use our Cherokee (instead of the Explorer), my little 1801 forces me to keep one hand on the emergency brake when launching. Otherwise, it drags the Cherokee down the ramp.
