Panga, I just bought a new 2320 Pilothouse and love it. Researched Parkers a lot before I bought. Let me know if you have any questions. Ask your sales man about the boat listing to the starboard. Apparently that is a common issue if you want to call it that. After loading mine down with electronics, it had a slight starboard list. After talking to many on this page and see many photos its normal, but I was a bit surprised by it. When running no problem at all and can be offset easy. Good luck!

Angus,
Install a freshwater system under or behind the port-side bench seat. This will offset the weight of the helm (stbd side) and level the boat when she sits empty at the dock. There are many ways to balance the boat while at rest but the FW system is the easiest and most useful IMO.
A new Parker is blank slate ready for projects/equipment installation. Weight and balance figures into where you put things.
Pangaman gave me a call. He is deciding between a 2320 and a Grady Gulfstream. If he decides on the 2320 I'll hook him up.

Thanks for the great info Jim! Panga, I grew up with my Dad always having Gradys, Nice boats, no doubt, but just don't think you can beat a parker, just not for the way its built, but your not paying a bunch just for the name like Gradys. Just my two cents.
