I preparation to refurbish some things on my 2520 XL I am going to remove the two outriggers and center rigger. I believe these are Lee. I bought the boat in FL and have never used them as I fish planer boards in the Chesapeake. I am in the Baltimore metro area. I can get pics or measurements...
I need to do some repairs before painting the bottom.
Small blisters and gouges, how should I handle them.
I am thinking West systems with one of the fillers they offer. Which one would be sandable?
How deep would the gouge need to be to use biaxial cloth also.
Anyone ever used west system with...
Anyone have a marine antenna on their roof for a TV? What brand, and how's it work?
I am thinking about putting a TV in the boat for fall fishing (Sunday's, watching football and trolling).
Just wondering if anyone has any experience.

Albe for sale BTW, 2nd weekend fishing the Northern Chesapaeke with the (new to me) Parker. 2 40" fish Sat. and 35" and 34" Sunday. Two nice days fishing until noon! Lots of friends and family fishing with the first time, they think I am a pro lol. Great times had by all!
I hit some 6' waves Sunday when a front came through. The wind was straight out of the north and the waves were huge for the Chesapeake Bay. Boating on the bay for 27 years I dont recall being out in many like this. I took a few over the pilot house but other than a slow ride home we were nice...
Anyone know the brand Parker uses on a 2004 2520? I see a couple options on boats.net. I will have to pull the old bent one out and get the specs.

I am replacing a broken transducer and the 1" hole and wire was sealed with caulk. I have a tube of life caulk from my front hatch re-seal job which does not leak anymore (thanks for the lead on the sealant guys). Should I use something more solid for this or life caulk would be ok? Thanks, Howard
My front hatch leaks, what would be good to re-seal it with? I plan on removing it, cleaning the fiberglass, cleaning the hatch frame, the re-sealing. Is 4200 too permanent? or just use silicone?
Thanks, Howard
Thinking about when I get out to clean up the boat. Even though Stainless bolts screws were used they still rusted some (is there a reason for that? Another topuc I know). Does barkeepers friend or CLR(or whatever iti is called) work on carpet?
Well it looks like my deal to be a Parker owner is working out. The boat needs some cleaning and cosmetic work but I like to do those things. The only thing it is missing is a bow rail, not sure why the owner didnt fix after it was damaged (maybe cost) but it's gone.
Where do I get one? dealer...
Anyone trailer a 2520 on a triple axle trailer? I was wondering the minimum size truck to make a one time trip. I will use an F250 diesel normally but wondering if I can rent a 1/2 ton chevy from U-haul to trailer the boat home after I purchase it. They also rent the 14' box truck that can tow...
Hello, my name is Howard, and I want to be a Parker owner lol.
Maybe soon, I made 2 offers on boats after long drives from my house (wife loves it) but did not work out. Hopefully the 3rd time is a charm. I should know next week. Fingers crossed. Oh, and I still need to sell my current boat (at...
I am considering a 2520 XL Sport Cabin with single 225 Yam.
This would be the 16 degree deadrise?
How much can they handle in the Chesapeake bay in off season bad weather? I am downsizing from an Albemarle.
What is the top end speed?
Cruise speed?
Fuel burn at cruise?
If anyone has a similar...
