Just bought a new boat (well new to me) and it has a Garmin 2010c MFD, but the only chip it came with is a the Cape Cod area. I fish offshore from Brigantine, so whichever chip that may be. I believe it takes the standard Bluechart Chip. If anyone has one to sell or knows where to buy them, I'd...

Has anyone tried to make their own freezer gel packs? I am thinking about making some using my vacuum packer and making long versions (that fit nicely in my coolers and fishboxes. I would like to cut down on buying and handling ice this season if at all possible. Any suggestions or words of...

So I am helping a friend with electronics on his boat. He has a Furuno NavNet VX1 with NMEA 0183. We want to connect it to a laptop which will be running Admiral 11 navigation software (among other things). Nobeltec makes a NMEA to USB cable for this application, however it is NMEA 2000, not...

I am trying to replace the scuppers on my other boat right now. They are 3" with a 3 hole pattern. The biggest part is that it has a tube going through the transom. Does anyone have an idea who makes these? Thanks

I am looking to buy a yeti cooler (or any of the other brands of similar coolers). What is the best place to buy them for a reasonable price? Also, it will be for a 100qt-200qt size, not one of the monster 400qts Thanks

Has anyone installed an autopilot on their boat? My new boat has twin Yamaha 225 Four Strokes with Sea Star steering. I am looking at the Garmin System. Any input on doing the install yourself would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is where to post this, but I know someone on this site will have the right answer for me... I just purchased a boat that is located in Point Judith, RI and I need it hauled back to Brigantine, NJ. 28' Center Console with twin 225's and no trailer. Any opinions on who to...

I'm looking for a 2501 cc with twin four strokes. Anyone on here have one for sale? Also would be interested in a 28 cc as well.

Hello Everyone, For anyone who has been on this boat before, you know how well she rides. She isnt the fastest boat in the fleet, but weather you have 3-7 foot seas, she'll do at least 20knts very smoothly. 2000 Parker Extended Cabin w/inboard Yanmar Diesel 250gallon tank= 500+ mile range...

Last weekend I was on my boat looking for things to do and noticed 4 of my 6 rod holders were dangerously loose. Oddly enough, the 2 aftermarket rod holders were holding solid. I looked under the rail and found the problem immedietly. None of the factory rod holders had backing plates, the 2...

Finally got out Sunday for the first shark trip of the season. Headed out to the AC Ridge in 1'-2'. Set up the slick and before the third rod hit the water, we were hooked up with a 6' blue shark. He was 1 of 5 landed. Had some big blue fish in the slick ripping our baits off. At around 10am...

White or Green, that is the question. I am going to order a set of these: http://www.coastalnightlights.com/orders.html I believe someone on this board has them. Any suggestions? I plan on getting the ones with the wires out the top and running them through my scuppers. Under my coaming pads...

Does anyone know anything about using blood meal as part of their chumming process for sharks? I noticed chum-king lists blood meal as one of the ingrediants in their shark-chum recipe, but I am unsure if its the same stuff you use in your garden. http://www.amazon.com/Lellan-004-90-106 ...

I was wondering if anyone has ever bottom painted teasers (squid, mullet, ect. sillouettes) on their boat. I few years ago I saw stencils on one of the big fishing sites for this application, but never heard of anyone doing it. I am bottom painting my 28 next weekend and figured since I mostly...

I just looked on the AC Show's website and see Parker is going to be there. Does anyone know if they will be bringing the 34? Happy Holidays!

Has anyone on this site bought the 34 yet or know of anyone who has? The topic kind of dropped off the discussion board. I know now is not the best time to be buying a boat, but someone has to be lucky enough! I would love to hear what an owner has to say about it.

i dont know---my parker diesel with a yanmar 315 still runs very nicely, but we HAVE to live by, slow and steady wins the race...that puppy is economic as ever too! 14 hour tuna trips we average 2.2mpg

Not our biggest, but we got this one about 38miles off from Brigantine, NJ. Weighed 42lbs and was 39" long. Hit our wwwwwwwb ballyhoo and ran right to the boat...until it saw the boat, then the might was on!

Headed off a little late this morning, but running east for some inshore sharking of Brigantine/Atlantic City looking for decent cold water. Should be back around 3 or 4pm today. Will report later on. If anyone is out there, we'll be on 68, "Carla-Ann".

Does anyone know where to get new liners for the rod holders on a parker? Mine are all crudy and leave a nasty residue on the rods. thanks guys
