1994 PARKER 2520 XL MV SPORT CABIN Diesel! Sold!!!! I am considering selling my Parker. ]I am a little more motivated now as I haven't been getting much use out of the boat and I am looking at buying something else (not a boat). Since originally listing the boat I have taken it out five or six...

Well, it probably wouldn't amount to three years if you were doing it consistently but with budget constraints and time constraints it has almost been three years. I bought the boat in FL and had it shipped to CA. Once here I put it on a 12000 lb AB trailer that I had custom built for my last...

Hi all, I posted a question about a popping/banging sound in the cabin of my 2520 XL MV diesel, (1994) a while back. I have only gone out once since then. Had to replace the out-drive and a few other things. Well, the thunk is still there. It is coming from the area right about where the...

Hi All, I sent this to Eric at Parker but I haven't heard back yet. If anybody can help with their ideas I would appreciate it immensely. Peter Hi Eric, I searched the Classic Parker site for this and found that you had helped some owners with at least one of these problems. I have a 94 2520...

I am sure this topic has been tackled. Can anybody point me to the link. Specifically why does someone buy a MV Parker instead of a DV? Mostly just wondering. Thanks, Peter

Well, after two years of working on my list I finally took the boat out and did a "shakedown" run. The boat is a 2520 Sportcabin MV with a Volvo Diesel. I have done a lot to the boat in this time including a stainless steel, full width, swim step and a very large bait system. In preparing for...

Hi All, I've been working on my project boat for over a year now. I installed a new bait tank It's an Offshore split tank 95 gallon. I also installed an EZ Anchor #12. I need to take the boat out into deep water and drop the entire rode straight down and put it back on under a little weight. I...

Hi All, I'm plowing through my project boat. The previous owner didn't bother much with pulling out the old unused wire, just added more. I've been pulling out the wires that lead to nothing (but potential shorts), tracing wires, replacing lights and switches etc. I have a horn switch but have...

I was told to provide pictures so I'll give it a shot, though I am not sure about loading the pictures. I have not done it before for ClassicParker. Of course, I hadn't installed a thru-hull in the bottom of a boat before either. I can only figure out how to upload one picture per reply so...

Hi All, I am in the process of installing an additional pick-up in the hull for engine cooling (Volvo 41 B diesel). I am installing an 1-1/4 Groco scoop. On top of that will be a 1-1/4 flanged sea cock. The only way I can figure out how to install the assembly is to bolt the sea cock to a backer...

I need a windlass for my 2520 MV (diesel). I really like the idea of the EZ-Anchor puller, due to the simplicity of the drum set up. I know at least a few people on the board have this winch set up. I was hoping to find out which one they had and if they still liked using it? Also, the capacity...

Hi, I'm slowly going through my 2520 MV Diesel. I've been replacing switches and hardware. Need to replace fuel fill hoses, on and on and on. I bought a Guest 2631A charger (I saw some of you had a similar unit) on Ebay. Now I need to find the perfect place to mount it. Can you guys tell me...

Hi all, I just took delivery of my 2520 Sport Cabin. I bought it from the friend of a relative. It has a Volvo 41 B diesel. This is my third real boat. My first was a Crestliner Eagle 2450. Second was a Blackman Outerbanks. The Parker is kinda in between the two previous boats. I have lots of...

Hi, My 2520 Sport Cabin is being delivered from Fl this week. I am putting it on a trailer that I had custom built for another boat. Capacity should be more than enough (12600) but the bunks and guides might be different. Mine is a diesel. There is a guy not to far from me that has a 2520 with...

Hello, I am seriously considering buying a used 2520 Sport Cabin with a Volvo diesel. I will also need a trailer. Can someone tell me what this boat is likely to weigh and if you have one similar what type of trailer you put under it, please? I prefer bunks as the boat might spend a lot (too...
