She's a beaut. I love the downeaster style. I have a longing for a Fortier one day. Enjoy the new ride.

I would consider that an upgrade. Nice boat. Real nice

 

[Parker]

Ronnie - SWEEET!!!!! Although you no longer have a Parker, I hope you stay active on Classic Parker. By the way, very nice ride. What kind of performance are you getting. How about some more pictures.

Actually, I still have the Parker !
It's listed and I hope to sell it, but I paid cash for it, so sitting on it till it sells is not going to kill me , but the $$$ in my bank account will look much better than the boat on the trailer in my driveway !!! :wink:

As for the seaworthy 25
We went out today , boat easily does 20kts, and should do in the mid 20s if I push it.
And best part, troll valve engaged all the way, we did .2 mph troll with the wind at our back!
But owner says, 18-19 kts doing 2800-3000 the burn is about 5-6 gph

I'll put up some better pics after the closing next week and the out riggers, down riggers, and a few other goodies get installed !

I keep thinking a boat like that may be my next.

As for the real fuel burn #s
Like I said, 18-19 cruise most every owner of this boat I've talked with (many) say it will burn between 5-7 gph.
Like any boat, a slower cruse will burn less, push it, burn more !

More pics


3rd pic is of another boat ,
Can't figure out how delete that pic only !

What's the cabin headroom measure?
I'm 6'2" and was thinking, someday, this may be my next sled.

Wow, if you can really get 3 mpg on a boat like that you are sitting pretty !!!! :lol:

 

[Bucktail]

At least it still looks a little like a Parker

I think it's thew other way around !!!
The Parkers are toys compared to this beast !!!

I'm almost done rigging the beast !

Where's the bow pulpit?

Nice boat Ron. If i was going to cruise at 18-20, that would be the boat to do it in.....very nice.

Don't want a bow pulpit !!!
For the amount of times it's used (never for me) it's just in the way,(sometimes when docking)
- and just another reason for the marine to charge me for 2 more feet !
besides the extra 6 ft they charge me for the engine bracket and engine !!!
