Thanks Steve! I did look on Boat Trader and did other general searches but there doesn't seem to be any 2006 1801's for sale out there! Appreciate the help though - and I may call Dare.

Hello! I may be selling my 2006 1801CC with an aftermarket hard top. Factory installed Yamaha 115 4 Stroke. I have no idea what to ask for the boat - can anyone provide guidance on how to price a used boat? It is in very good condition with low hours - we use it 3-5 weekends a year at our...

Just had the same issue after installing a new battery. I had stacked my connections wrong...and the fuel gauge and running lights were not working. I also had some "flickering" on the display panels when the boat was turned off and it was sluggish to start after a night in the water. After...

Thanks Kevin! It ends up that I was stacking some wires wrong. I was smart enough to take pictures of the terminals before I remove the old battery and went back and checked and indeed I had stacked wires on the wrong terminal. Everything working fine now. Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks Brent. I am using wing nuts and I do have a battery selector so I'll try those this weekend.

I installed a new battery (the depth of my mechanical and electrical skills so please be kind with your responses!) last week and since then I've noticed a couple of issues that may or may not be related: (1) fuel gauge no longer works, (2) nav lights dont work, (3) my display "flickers" even...

@ Dan...never worry about insulting someone when they are asking for free advice! I really appreciate all the advice guys...and will take some time this weekend to check out the battery and cables. Not sure messing with the breaker board is for me...but will ask around on that one. I know for...

Hey folks. First off many thanks to those who run this site, fund this site and contribute to this site. Very much apprecciated! as a new boat owner who is also mechanically stupid when it comes to egines, wiring, etc - this site has really helped me begin to understand basic maintenance issue...

My Parker just survived her first earthquake here in VA! Pretty cool! Now lets hope she handles that old gal Irene! Plan to pull her from the water in Peary, VA Thursday - good excuse to bring her to Richmond for a nice wash and wax. Good luck to all in the path of this thing.

Does anyone have any experience with those bean bag chairs for boats? Looks like Ocean Tamer and E-Sea Rider are top brands. Need a soft chair for my wife when we run the Chesppeake Bay in a chop with our 1801. Have also looked at the West Marine deck chairs. Just need something that is...

I have an 1801 with a 115 four stroke...pull two tubes with 4-6 kids total (ages 9-13) easily! Your 150 will be no problem.

Anyone have ideas on the best position for a name on an 1801cc? Need to formally introduce the "Virginia Gray" this year. Pictures would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go with the hard top, definately! 5x7 is an appropriate size. Go to parkermarine.com site and click on owner photos. My boat is #26 (me driving and a couple crab pots in back) adn you can see the top really well. I get alot of compliments on it...and personally think it looks great! If in...

Capt. Kevin...that sounds like a boat on "roids"! Think I will start injecting my baby too! Appreciate the comments guys!

I just spent the last hour looking through old posts about this subject and it seems there are varied opinions that have been voiced...so didn't mean to reinvent the wheel! But I do appreciate your response...and any others for that matter. My tank is already full on non-ethanol fuel for the...

I have a Yamaha 115 Four Stroke on my Parker 1801. I only use Ethanol free gas in this engine. The engine just went over 100 hours and I have taken it in for the reccomended service. I plan to use the boat for 4-6 hours a month through the winter here in VA on the Chesapeake Bay and was...

Wow, thanks for the kind words guys! The cost of the top was $2200 with four rocket launchers. Not sure what a box addition would have run or how heavy the top is. The material for the actual top is extremely light, a 12x12 square seemed to be ounces when I handled it while looking at tops...

Thanks guys! I did not detect any difference in performance at all. I keep the boat on a lift...but when I have trailered it I did not notice any difference there either. And it's heaven when I'm out pulling the kids on tubes and they fall off and I have to just sit there and wait for them...

Marine Fabricators in Topping, VA did the work. Would reccommend Charlie to all!

Ron, thanks for the pics! It looks as good as it sounds (apparently!). WOT issue was one I did not see coming, so thanks for pointing that out. I am inspired...for next summer anyway! Appreciate the pics and notes. Scott
