Thanks to this forum, I just purchased a 2001 MV 2520 last Monday! The boat had been advertised on this forum. This is my second boat but first Parker. I recently sold my 76 20' Mako center console that I reconditioned (new gas tank, new wiring, electrical panel, repowered etc) with huge help from the guys at classic mako. I was very satisfied with my Mako but my family is growing and I was looking to increase range and options on how to use our boat. Your site is a great forum! Obviously the greatest place for information on replacement parts, 'how to' and ideas. Thanks to many of you for sharing your experiences on your boats and I am hugely psyched to finally own one of these great Parker boats. Thanks again!
