Purchased my 2004 Parker 1801 in December 2017 from beacon marine in cos cob Ct. it was originally owned by an older attorney who fly fished and decided to upgrade to a larger boat. Paid 11k, they had it listed for 12k. It came with aftermarket leaning post that was pitted, and a gpsmaps FF. Sat on a load rite 3500 single axle roller trailer that had a lot of bad rollers etc.
Put about 5-8k into the boat
Motor was a low hour Yamaha F115.
Since day of ownership I have restored gelcoat, removed and replaced leaning post with new one, oversized the mounting holes back filled with epoxy rings and screwed down with 4200.
Removed all pie plates and replaced with own style tempest plates bedded in life seal (red) not yellow
Replaced all fuel lines from tank to motor with A1 line
Added bow mounted trolling motor with 3 bank charger inside helm.
Installed uflex hydraulic steering and 1500psi flexible lines
Added Bluetooth amplifier and 2 6.5 kenwoods
Adddd 9 inch garmin echo maps with relief shading
Removed bottom paint, added boot stripe and new Parker logos
Replaced bilge hatch.
Replaced every single roller, hog ring and washer on trailer
Raised outboard and propped with scd4 16p
Overall love this hull,
Found some poor fiberglass work in bilge port stringer and am dealing with repair, overall amazing vessel and would like to repower and keep it till the day I give it to my son
