What is the true length of a 2520XL?

[TunaJoe]

I'm in the process of ordering a boat cover from www.boatcoversdirect.com and need to know the true length of a 2007 2520XL. Specs on Parkers website say 25' 4".
Does this include the Pulpit? How about the Bracket?
Anyone ever order a cover for there Parker from this site?

Hey from what i know on Parker sizes the 2520-XL is 25"4 in Length Beam is 9"6 the Hull is 15" the deadrise is 16 degrees weight is 5300-lbs,I really dont think that is with the pulpit to be honest i hope that helped alittle oh yes by the way i looked on the link you had in your post and it is pretty good i might get one for my 2120!!!

I've measured mine..... I forget what the overall lenght is.. but the 25 does not include the bracket and then the engine sticking out behind the bracket.. and it does not include the pulpit. Overall length is somewhere around 32.....

I'll look to see if I wrote it down somewhere...

Thanks guys!
I'd check myself, but I'm at work.
I'll let you know how the cover looks and fits. Price is right, $642.

as I've take a tape measue to all the Parkers-all lengths are plus bow pulpit, bracket, and engine. That's a reason they seem larger than spec and why so much deck space no matter what model.

My marina measured my 2320
I had to pay for 31ft

Parker measures their boats from the stem to the transom, and does not include the pulpit or the engine bracket.

Same here. And my boat barely even fits in the slip they gave me. :x

I couldn't find a COTS (commercial off the shelf) cover, so I had to have one build.

You are not likely to find a COTS cover for a Parker 25. Good luck.

The pulpit/bracket are options not included on all models and will not be considered as part of the overall hull length. The motor is never considered as part of the length by honest builders. Only GREEDY marinas will measure your actual total length in order to squeeze more money out of you. They are feeling the economy pich too. Trippin over dollars to pick up pennies at your expense. Thats why I bought a trailer..I will never keep another boat at a marina. Been there done that.

But as far as a cover is considered you will have a hard time finding a cover for a 2520. I looked everywhere. If you find one specifically built for the 2520 please post here. Most have gone with custom covers in the 2K plus range. Most people with Parkers put all kinds of goodies on the roof that would interfere with a factory made cover and is probably the reason no one makes one that I am aware of.
