The holes drilled throught the stringers aren't sealed before the fuel lines are installed so you may have fuel saturated stringers as well and there is no way for the fuel to escape if inside the stringer. Not a good situation if you have an electrical spark under the deck.

yes, the flow torq hub will work with all mercury brand props and several other brands as well.

Have a friend that setup on a 2016 23' SE(light weight Yam 200). His has a T-Top. Boat tops out at 42mph. I have an 89 23' CCDV with a 2013 250hp Suzuki. Both boats run almost identical as far as cruise speed and WOT. We both have a family of four that we haul to the local islands on weekends...

If you search this site I posted my 1989 23DVCC project several years back. Although you state the deck/transom are solid be careful. I started my project cutting out a small section out of the rear deck where the live well was due to rot. The early year models don't have fiberglass on the...

Not sure if the newer hulls have the same stringer layout but my 1989 23DVCC has a factory installed storage area up front. It's about 250qt.

Try emailing Eric Denton at Parker. <[email protected]>. When I had questions he emailed me back pretty quick. I don't think they keep very good history records on their builds.

There is also a very small screen filter in the fuel vapor canister. Its only about the size of a large pencil eraser so it could possibly be restricting fuel flow. I went through this same situation this spring with my 2013 DF250. Local mechanics here recommend installing an inline spin-on...

Some are two pieces of 3/4 marine plywood plus fiberglass on both sides and some are three pieces of 3/4 marine plywood with glass. With that said they will range from around 2" to 2.5" thick.

You will not be disappointed with the 300. Nice to have that extra power when running heavy. You will also love the $ saved running the four stroke vs two stroke. I can go offshore and fish all day and only burn 40 gallons.

I am running a 2013 Suzuki DF250 (non AP model) 25" shaft on a 1989 Parker 23DVCC with bracket, stainless steel T-Top, and painted bottom. WOT @6100 RPM's getting 41MPH. Cruise at around 4500 RPM's @ 34 MPH. I have run Powertech LFS3x23x16 with terrible results(dealer set this up), Powertech...

If you will send an email to Eric Denton([email protected]) at Parker he should be able to answer that question. I got the information for my 1989 23 CCDV from him a few years ago.

I have an old school(1989) 23DVCC Parker Sou Wester that came with a 300 or so qt coffin box located right in front of the center console. It has a through hull drain with screw out plug in the bottom corner. Not sure why Leonard decided to quit putting these in when the design changed but it's...

Final-Lee. The Themro-Lite board is what I used. I am very impressed with the product. I checked with a local supplier on the Pensky board( I think the name has now changed to Airex Board). Best price locally was $180.00 per 4x8 sheet and Space Age Synth. was $130.00 per sheet. Freight on 6...

Check out Space Age Synthetics.com. They are in Fargo, ND. I contacted them and was able to replace my deck with their Synthetic 3/4" board. It is identical to the Pensky board. It was cheaper for me to buy from them and pay the freight than to buy local. Product is lighter than marine plywood...

1989 DV CC rebuild. Not sure if you can see in the coffin box but I removed 6.5 gallons of trapped water from under the fuel tank. Removed main stringers due to water intrusion /rot. All of this was due to Parker not glassing the underside of the main deck in these boats. Rot started between the...
