New member. I have a 2000 Year 23DV CC I bought used in 2010. I live and fish offshore in Key Largo.

I fish and dive the Parker several times per week for both bottom fish and offshore trolling. Fishing was excellent November/ December. Been a little slow the past month.

Great boat.
I will be glad when we have decent weather, even if it is slow.

I have bottom paint as I keep it on a mooring infront of the house. I pressure wash it 4 times per year and paint twice. My best mileage is 2.6 to 3.0 mpg at 3400 rpm. My max is 45mph or 40 knots. Pressure wash day
