New member and new owner.

Enjoying my first Parker and wanted to hear about others experience. Live on waterfront in Yorktown and keep in boathouse lift. Purchased new 2019 1801 from Dare Marina. Been installing electronics and programming communications between Chartplotter and VHF and using MMSI identifier. Anyone installed led in drain plug location.

Congratulations and welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! You are going to love that boat. I've owned my 1801 almost four years. I also bought it new from Dare Marine. You are going to love them too. Great people with a strong service department.

Where will you keep it? What are you planning to do with it?

Hi Steve. Was hoping their was some local members on this forum. When Parker arrived at Dare I took sea trial with Bart and then drove it to my home where it is lifted in a boat house. I have never even used the trailer. Should probably try trailering before annual family trip to Gaston. I am close to 20 hours and will take back to Dare for “break in” service. Dare was able to quickly broker my previous boat and gave numerous perks for buying the new Parker - like $500 in store credit which will cover the service. I will be fishing and exploring hole in the wall marinas in the lower Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads by water of course. My wife and Lab also like boating.

Tell me how you use yours.
