The boat surveyed in '04 for $22,000 with no trailer when i bought it. The boat is set up for 6 pack chartering, I chartered the boat casually for 3 seasons. The boat has been maintained by a professional captain. I spared no expense rigging it for my needs. 1988 Parker 25' Sport Cabin...

So the long story short: I injured myself pretty seriously this winter and I'm getting surgery on my foot next week. Realistically I'm looking at 8-12 weeks of no walking or driving, and obviously boating, which puts me into june and july. I haven't paid my slip bill yet (thank god) and I've...

Does any of you 25 DV guys have any input here? I'm comparing ride quality and price performance of a DV parker (walkaround or SC) vs the grady hulls. I'm starting to research my next boat... I'm considering moving into a (gasp) different brand (grady) because of a strong used market, which is...

THe boat had a stereo and equalizer that had long since worked when i bought it. I cut the knobs off and ripped the speakers off since it didnt work anyway. I finally finished my project after 6 years of ownership and procrastination. My new slip is close to my house and its nice to go and...

we trolled on friday pulling stretch 30s and the motor basically idling all day in and out of gear. towards the end of the trip my overheat alarm went off on my HPDI, so we shut it down and tried to diagnose the problem... the heads didnt seem hot, and the telltale was still pissing, starting...

On of my projects this year was building some budget rod racks for the boat to clean up my vberth (usually just leave the rods on the vberth, but my new slip is stern in, and it looks like a dump if I open the cabin door in my slip haha). For under $100 i added 16 rod spaces. I started with a...

So after I install my stereo and rod racks on the inside of the cabin this year, my next project needs to be a second steering station. I'm thinking of going to a minimalist type station like dales, but I also like the addition of kevin's station. My concerns so far with the ideas: 1) Dales...

My deck is got a few soft spots that I bought the boat with - and I'm kind of crap or get off the pot now, since the boat is paid off, I either gotta upgrade or keep the boat I've got and save the payments. It'd probably be easier to fix the nagging issues on my crate and repower it eventually...

I am selling the last of my father's estate, it was our 13' boston whaler that he bought new in 1963. It has been in our family and used off and on for years, since it was new. It originally had a 1963 merc 9.8 on it, and it has had up to 40hp motors bracketted to it over the years. The boat was...

Towards the end of this season, I noticed my idle in-gear (clutch ahead we call it) was hovering at 500rpm on my yamaha digital tach. The motor still seemed to run ok, and the bottom really wasnt all that dirty (a few barnacles, but nothing major, bottom paint was fresh this spring). Any ideas...

after a long and debated procrastination, it was finally time to take the bottom down to gelcoat and start over. I was not getting decent fuel economy, i was lugging my motor (last season was havng trouble getting it to turn past 4900), and the bottom looked like crap. I was even considering...

Saw a review of the Humminbird 1197c side scan bottom machine....it looked like it's EVERYTHING i'm looking for. I think i'm going to pick one up and put it on the boat this year. I have a navman (now owned by northstar) color chart plotter and I hate it. I am used to garmins, always loved...

To alleviate some motor performance issues (missing topend rpm on my motor) I've finally decided to stop procrastinating and take the bottom paint down to the gelcoat and start over. My parker dealer near me says my boat was built to perform with a 200-225hp motor with a 17" pitch prop. I'm...

Simply put: I don't have the fuel, gear or the patience to do true bluewater stuff with my parker. Looking to join on as crew with anyone, will pay my share of fuel and bait. I'm in NJ, so NJ is preferable, but I'll drive as far as 200 or so miles to join a boat. Send me a PM or reply, I'll...

I know I know it's not a yamaha. Or a parker. My brother has a yard decoration that he calls a boat. Mainly the boat is junk, but it floats and it serves his purpose (helps grow weeds in his yard). My brother put a new force 75 on the boat in 95, and had kids in 97 and 98, and slowly...

New or reconditioned (even used is ok, I can get a wheel reconditioned). Stainless only please

I wanted to get some discussion going on my options for repower. Let me preface this with I have had NO problems with my boat, or the 01' HPDI 200. The motor starts on the first touch of the key, its relatively quiet (perhaps not as quiet as an F200, or a DF200, but way more so than the...

For any of you new york / sandy hook guys like me: Ambrose channel and sandy hook channel are red red hot right now. Live peanut bunker are taking the larger fish, but gulp is taking a majority of the NJ Keepers for us. 3 consecutive trips have been near limit catches for us, with each trip...

My wheel in my pilothouse is older style, has no suicide knob...The bolt ons suck ass, wanted to see if anyone had a used destroyer type wheel with a suicide knob laying around. Docking with my single engine in my slip can be a bear sometimes (quite a bit of running current, two bigger boats in...
