I am out of mexico beach, i will a probably see you around if you fish a little to the west.

I have a 2820 and it will pound into head seas but so did my CC. I have over sized trim tab which help a lot, additionally i have seasuspension seat posts, which also help. with these i can go 16 to 20 knots in a head sea. I like to stay dry so going a little slower does not really bother me.

congratulations sounds like a great boat, maybe i will see you out on the water

My preference would be a Yamaha 4 stroke, Yamaha has what they they call the high power series which comes in 200, 225 and 250 hp and is a 3.4 liter enigine. then they have their new series which they call offshore 225, 250 & 300. these new engines are 4.2L and weigh about 50 lbs less then the...

I use it all the time for Red Fish, Trout, Pompano. use the glup eels for cobia.

Bryan 2530 included the link to the only picture i have of the unit. the unit was attached to the deck with wood screws and then caulked.

I have a 2820 xl with a similar set up. the width of unit is 40" and the unit is placed 30" back from the pilot house door. There is plenty from room in the cockpit to fish 6 people comfortably with the unit installed. I also have a transom seat that folds down, however 90% of the time it is in...

I have had great success with barkeepers friend.

I also do not have much confidence in the Yamaha fuel tank gauge, however i use the fuel management system and find it very accurate. the last time i filled up fuel the management system showed that i had used 127 gallons and when i filled it up, it took 128 gallons.

100 hours on oil and lower unit. Yamaha is now recommending changing out the fuel filter at 50 hours if you are using Gas with ethanol, if not change the fuel filters at 100 hours.

One thing to consider is possibly buying one of the 2009 older models rather then one of the new lighter engines, in the next few months dealers will be trying to get rid of the old motors and would probably be willing to work a deal.

I have a 2820xl and tow it with a 2008 F-350 6.4 diesel. I have 70,000 miles on it and have towed the boat from the panhandle down to the keys and back. I have had no problems what so ever with the truck and it pulls the boat like a champ. My brother-in-law is taking this truck and i am...

When I bought my 2820xl last year, i topped it off with gas for the first time and the next morning i could smell gas in the bilge. i also had a small amount of gas in the bilge. the fuel sender ended up having a hair line crack in it and when the tank was full it would leak fuel. the dealer...

I think this is what your are talking about. http://classicparker.com/phpBB2/viewtop ... highlight=

I bought a 2820 xl back in november. I topped off the fuel tank before putting it in the water for the first time. Once in the water i started smelling gas in the pilot house as well as the bilge. I called the dealer and he came the next morning. there was a very slight amount of fuel weeping...

I have a 2008 2820xl with fish box in the back, i do not believe the fish box is insulated, i use it to store cleaning supplies and other things, i use one of the trays to store things and have drilled a hole in the bottom to keep it dry. the other one I put my frozen bait in to defrost, works...

I had my boat down in the Keys a couple of weeks ago and we were in 4 to 5 foot seas and my wife could not believe how much of a difference the Shock mitigating pedestals made. It was the first time she had been on the boat with the new seats in rough water. She felt they were well worth the money.

Welcome, You may want to call Big Bend Marine, in Perry, FL 850-584-5977, they are a Parker dealer and have a shop that does custom fish boxes as well as bait wells. They may have an idea or solution for your problem. Ask for Fred or Dale.

The Trim tabs were $250 per tab, but for my boat worth every penny. The seasuspension pedestals were about $700 a piece but you can get them for $675 (see the Otherlines thread) also worth every penny.

The Seaspension Pedestals, are outstanding. I had them installed in Feb, however Friday was the first day I had a chance to take her out and what a difference they make. They are expensive, but well worth it. Additionally, I read all the comments on CP about oversized trim tabs. I had the...
