    Anyone have fuel tank specs for 2013 23' DVCC?

    The model number of the tank is FMT-150E-PME (serial number is 18106543). This tank is in a 23 deep vee hull center console with the step down style console. I have requested this information numerous times from Parker and get no response. I appreciate any help!

    Deck replacement - how to remove base of step-down console in 23 DVCC?

    Unfortunately, my 2013 Parker 23 DVCC has a wet deck. The core saturation is extensive as documented by a Parker dealer and two independent fiberglass shops. To fix it properly, the t-top and the center console will need to be removed. The boat has the newer style step-down console that is...

    replacement under gunnel LED lights?

    I am looking to replace one of the factory under-gunnel lights on my 2013 23 DVCC. The light has three LEDs and is not all that bright. The original light had a Deutsch connector (cut off in the pictures to test the light). Who makes these? Anyone know where to get one or two of these lights...

    testing props for 23 DVCC with F250XCA 4.2L

    I have been testing props to find a good choice for my 2013 23 DVCC with F250XCA (4.2 L). I am interested to hear your experiences. So far, the best prop I have tested is a Mercury Mirage Plus in 15 pitch. It gives good fuel economy at mid and upper cruise rpm and feels "right". I may go with...

    side scan through hull transducer mounting location

    I am getting ready to refresh the electronics on my single engine 23 DVCC. One planned upgrade is a Navico side scan transducer. I am considering the through hull version of the transducer since I would like to avoid drilling a hole in the transom. My 23 DVCC has a keel pad and I was...

    Original console glove box

    For sale is an original glove box from a 2013 Parker 2300 DV. The glove box came with the boat but was never installed to save room for electronics. The exterior dimensions are 14" wide by 12" tall. The mounting flange is approximately 1.5" wide around all sides. There are stainless bolts...

    Console grab rail for Parker 23 DVCC

    I have a factory console grab rail for a 2013 Parker 23 DVCC. I also have the mounting bolts. The rail was never mounted and I installed a t-top. I would be happy to trade the rail to someone who will use it in exchange for some useful boating gear (e.g. fire extinguisher, throw cushion...

    factory rigging on 2013 23 DVCC

    I recently joined the Parker family with a 2013 23 DVCC. So far I am really pleased with the boat. The ride is excellent and it makes a stable platform for the fly and light tackle fishing I do. I have been working away on installing electronics, lighting and rod holders. Tonight I found...

    ordered a new Parker!

    Well, I went and did it! I ordered a brandy new Parker 2300 DV with an F250. It will have the forward seating delete for maximum fishing room. I got it without a t-top and intend to get a custom t-top built that is a bit smaller than stock to help with fly fishing. I now have a question. I...

    WTB Parker 2300 DV open bow

    I am looking for a Parker 2300 DV from 2008 or more recent. I want a boat with the newer style step down console and without forward seating, a high bow rail, or bottom paint. There are several nice looking 2300 DV's posted here recently, but none match what I am looking for.

    a big thank you to scottymac.mac

    This past Tuesday (Nov. 9th), Classic Parker user scottymac.mac took me out fishing on his 2320 dv sc. This was in response to my post asking for a ride on a 2300 DV CC. Scott, his friend Pat, and I had a nice day. I got a chance to experience the ride of the hull first-hand and look over the...

    Looking for a ride on a Parker 2300 DVCC

    Hi All, I am hoping that someone could be generous enough to take me out for a ride on their Parker 2300 DV. I am seriously considering buying one of these boats (looking at a 2009 and a 2008). But, alas, I have never actually been on one on the water! I want to experience ride and sea keeping...

    new member - considering 23 DVCC

    Hi everyone, I am a lurker here and thought that I should finally sign up. I currently run an 18' Jones Brothers CC. I am an inshore light tackle fisherman, mostly fly fishing, targeting striped bass and hardtails (tunas, albies, bontio) and bluefish when things are slow. I fish out of Rhode...
