THANKS TO PARKERSAL FOR SHOWING ME THE LIGHT. THIS IS A GREAT FORUM. I WILL TRY TO POST SOME PICS OF MY BABY.

Welcome Chasing Tuna!

Looks like Ferry Landing Marina? Were you there last year? Whats the name of your boat?

I was there last year, moved over to Ring's Island after the flood..

We'll have to compare notes on the tuna fishing for next season

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A SLIP FROM THE SLIP NAZI, FRANKIE.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE MARINA NEXT YEAR, IT WILL BE VERY NICE.
MY BOAT DOESN'T HAVE A NAME YET. I BOUGHT IT IN JUNE. I STOLE IT FROM SOME GUY IN FLORIDA. HE SAID HE HATED IT BECAUSE IT WAS TOO HOT. I TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO TAKE THAT JUNKY BOAT OFF HIS HANDS. I HAD REALLY GOOD LUCK WITH IT FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER. I HAD ALWAYS WANTED A PARKER, NOW I HAVE IT.

Too hot? Man I have had my 2320 out in some miserable hot humid days. You just open all the windows and with the shade it's like 20 degrees cooler in the pilot house. Not to mention no sunburn. :wink: Welcome onto Classic Parker.

Welcome to the site.

Blood on the deck of a Parker...now that is appropriate.

Love those Lee Jr outriggers!
What length poles do you have?

I want a set of those for my boat and was thinking 19' polished and double rigged. 8)

 

[CHASINGTUNA25]

I BOUGHT THE OUTRIGGERS USED. THESE ARE 18' POLES. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE 2" BASES. THESE ARE 1 1/2" BASES AND THEY ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH. I HOOKED A TUNA ON OCTOBER 14, IT COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE LEFT POLE. SNAPPED TWO LINE AND PENT THE OUTRIGGER RIGHT TO THE FISHING POLE. I HAD TO POP THE CLIP. I LIKE THESE OUTRIGGERS, THEY JUST NEED TO BE PUT DOWN. THE BASES ARE AWESOME, THOUGH.

I THINK ALL OF HIS BUDDIES AT THE MARINA WITH THE CENTER CONSOLES WERE POKING FUN AT HIM. I TOLD HIM, I THINK THIS BOAT IS WAY TOO HOT FOR FLORIDA. NOW SELL IT TO ME.

Good to know. Thanks.
I have my eye on a set of 2" polished poles, 19' in length...
