New Member Post - 2820 XL

[Postal719]

How's it going all! I'm stoked to say I've purchased my first Parker. It's a 2007 2820 XL. Twin 250's with about a thousand hours. She is a beautiful vessel!

She is basically turnkey with the exception of needing a new transducer installed. The old one is tired.

We already caught a bluefin on her!

I definitely have a few questions and will be using this awesome site for help!

How fast does that go

How fast does that go

With the stock props and 4 adults at WOT, I generally see 52-55. I just repropped it and added permatrims. I haven't run it yet but expect to loose a few MPH but get on plane at lower speeds. Prior to the upgrade, it took 23 mph minimum to plane. Here is SD top speed is not very important since the conditions rarely allow WOT in the Pacific ocean!

Tomorrow I am upgrading the auto pilot, then we will take her out for some tests.

Nice Boat! Welcome to the site. Another CP San Diego Member! I live in Chula Vista and fish the San Diego Bay, Coronado Islands as well as all the local banks. Tight Lines!
