hey guys im in the market for a bigger boat. if anyone knows of a 2006+ parker 2320sl with a yamaha 250 outboard motor for sale, post the links in this thread or pm me. Thanks!

dream parker would be:
2320sl
west coast high bow rails
yamaha 250
maybe some electronic goodies!
trailer for the boat

i live in San Diego, but am open to any boats around the U.S., may have to ship it over here if the price is right.
 
2006-2009 Yamaha's are still having issues with corrosion and balancers so if you find one, have a certified Yamaha mechanic scope the inside as well as replace the balancer. Yamaha didn't change/correct that balancer until the 2010 models. Check the serial number to make sure it wasn't manufactured during 2006-2009. Most people who buy brand new boats have a left over engine that was manufactured from the previous year and they don't even know it. Look to buy your Parker 2320 after 2009 and you will save unnecessary repair bills.

Sweet! thanks for the great advice, ill keep that in mind while on my search for a 2320. you rarely see any 2009-present boats for sale, and if there are its almost the price of buying new. its usually the years from 2008 or before that are posted.
 
Yamaha balancer issue pertains to F150 engines.

Yamaha engines to be concerned about stack corrosion are F200/225/250 year 2000-2004.

2006 2320/f250 and newer is good to go. The F250 is a great engine for this hull with plenty of power. An F300 would be icing on the cake. FWIW starting in 2006 the gas tank was moved forward which improved handling (weight more centered) and the cabin was changed to a more open concept design which continues today. The Parker 23 dv 21 degree hull w/bracket 8.5' beam with 18" tabs and a Permatrim is the best riding hull Parker makes.

As far engines with a manufacture date in the year prior to the hull manufacture date.......this is a non-issue and is very common. Any boat or car for that matter with an early year manufacture date is going to have components/engines manufactured during the last quarter of the previous year........think about it.

Good luck in your search.

The reason I made those comments are because I went to a Parker boat dealer to see the new 2016 2120 & 2320 & while I was there I spoke to a certified Yamaha mechanic who happened to be repairing a Yamaha 2009 f150. I asked him to explain the problem this 2009 f150 was having and he said " It has a bad balancer as well as some rust near the powerhead. I told him that I heard that only the f150's had the balancer problems in years 2002-2006 and that the rust problems were with the F200/225/250 years 2000-2005. He said that is wrong. He said that he constantly sees balancer problems on the f150 2002-2009 as well as rust but not as much in the f150 years 2002-2009 but a lot of rust also in the f200/225/250 years 2000-2009. He told me not to buy any f150,f200,225,250 through 2009. Buy 2010 year models & younger. Are you a certified Yamaha mechanic? Also....As far as manufacturing date, yes it is important if that particular engine has problems and you have a 2005 boat with a defective 2004 engine that has rust or balancer problems.

Just decided I'm going to list my 2007 2320 for sale so I can upgrade in early 2018. 1100 hours on an 07 Yamaha 250. Immaculate condition all around. Taco offriggers, LED's everywhere, dual battery, raw water washdown, LED livewell, Garmin Fishfinder/GPS, Fusion radio, etc. Boat comes with 2015 trailer, currently in the water. Let me know if you're interested, I'd prefer it to go here versus a Craigslist tire kicker. Haven't really settled on a price, let me know what you're looking for.
