It’s thick, that’s the deal. It’s gel coat, glass, plywood and then glass. I’d say just over an inch. You MUST verify depth / thickness by drilling a test hole and measuring it then. Set your blade to be just deeper than the measured thickness by 1/8”. Slow and steady wins.

Do you have a 23 cc dv?

Pull the prop and look for fishing line. I see it on almost every boat. Lower unit seals and labor cost time and money.

I second what Tomc585 says. I have a 94 17’ and have redone the entire boat, including a brand new fuel tank and every wire. F115 with 200 hours. She’s worth at least 15 if not 18

Nice boat. They are little tanks that last decades. Welcome to the club. 1994 17’ CC “Bajablue”

Well the 18SE is off the table. At least they still have the 1801 CC. That looks more true to the intent of the original designers.

Looks like some type of partial liner?. I see it only in the front. Looks really odd, with bumps and seam laps?. I’m sensing bayliner.

Nice information and write up. A well performing boat that is balanced and predictable makes all the difference.

It looks like a classic mako 20’. It’s a good layout for a boat that size. I do not understand why they keep putting a livewell in the from seat of the console. No one uses it. It’s messy and out of the way. With the added beam the livewell should be part of the leaning post.

6” of added beam and more bow? Slightly taller console with electronic box. That’s the only logic I can see for that magnitude of added weight.

The Parker website is now showing an 18 SE that is slightly larger than the 18CC. It has more beam, length and much more weight. The draft also looks deeper. The dead rise ( at transom/ stern) looks identical between the two. Does anyone have any information on the new 18 SE? It is not a deep...

Haha, that’s the worst indicator and volume of fuel in a bilge I have ever heard of. I drained out 40 gallons and that was a nightmare. I smelled like gasoline for weeks.

Which year did Parker rebalance the the 23dv?

You are on borrowed time. Keep that boat high and dry when not in use.

Perfect. Thanks, I consider these boats a budget 23’ regulator.
