Retirement Dream 2320

[Dogcop]

I ordered my boat about 5 months ago and it has arrived. First time Parker owner but, I remember all the years I was be out on the ocean fishing telling everyone someday I'm going to buy one of these and finally had the money so I went to Riverfront Marine in Salisbury Mass and made my deal. I tip my hat to all the workers at this business for their patients and time making sure I got everything I wanted. Also I would like to thank all the members here for their posts which I follow all the time.

Congratulations! What a fine rig. Did you get the 300 yamaha? You will love operating that vessel. I did 140 miles round trip two days ago in my 2320.
Here’s my rig- you chose a great color

 

[Dogcop]

Yes I got the 300. Did you put a trolling motor? They put the new 300 on it I guess its pretty much the same but the cowl is different and a couple other new features. Any idea what you are getting for mileage

man you will be tickled with the fuel economy. I just did a 140 mile trip with 4 guys, 200 pounds of ice, 136 gallons of fuel, 200 pounds of gear, 150 pounds of fish. Never saw below 2.0 mpg. Ended the trip burning 68 gallons of fuel.

yes I installed a Minnkota 36 V lithium set up with a powermania charger. I did the 87 inch shaft on the bow with a custom built pulpit mount. Here’s a link to my fabrication and installation.

Looks great. I'm jealous. Can you make a video showing deployment?

Will do the next time we run. Will post in another thread.

I don’t want to derail this gentleman’s introduction thread either… sorry for the distraction.
