    Recommendations on new electronics for 2520?

    I have a 2520 with a Garmin 4212, radar, ff, chartplotter and i absolutely love it that being said, i really like the raymarine's ability to network wirelessly and interface with cellphone and tablets with apps, if i were doing it over i would go raymarine for that reason alone

    1801 (used) right boat for my useage? (Central New York)

    Yup, that is a pretty good point, the cost of an aluminum boat can really make you shudder. I don't know where the money goes into those things but they are crazy expensive. I have a cabelas near the house and stopped by there this weekend with the kids to check out the fish and just walk...

    1801 (used) right boat for my useage? (Central New York)

    I have a Parker and absolutely love it, however, I have done a lot of what you plan to do and just don't think that a center console is the best boat for your application. I would look hard at the Lunds and Alumacrafts, etc. I had a Lund that I loved and then an Alumacraft Dominator with an...

    Yamaha/Garmin Interface

    That is a great question. I have a 2010 Yamaha 250 and would like to plug the motor into my Garmin. Is it as simple as going from the guages to the Garmin? That would be awesome becuase they are about 6" away!

    2010 - 2520XL Review

    Guys, sorry, I have just a couple more thoughts: 1. Garmin 4212 - Awesome, love it, wicked easy to use, 12" screen is nice, pretty good visiblity from the back, I wish it were better, tinted windows make it hard, radar is pretty cool I have to say, sonar holds bottom without any exceptions 2...

    2010 - 2520XL Review

    Hey there everyone. I bought my Parker 2520XL earlier this spring as a 2010 holdover with a 250 Yamaha and took delivery on May 3. Since then I have put 30 hours on it. I have only taken the family out once and I have been fishing the rest of the time. If anyone cares to read it, here are...

    My Brand New 2520XL

    Yes, this is Boats Inc. I am way, way, way, way, way out at the end of the dock. Did I tell you how far out I am. I should have just bought the slip and fished from that, it is far enough out. Good for me though so I don't hit too much. I pray they don't put a boat next to me, it feels like...

    My Brand New 2520XL

    I picked up my boat last night, brand new 2010 2520XL, I put on the Garmin 4212 system on it. Needless to say I think I am in love. You have all seen a million Parkers but this one is finally mine. I picked it up with 1.1 hours on the clock and ran it until about 2. I practised docking it a...

    The wife wanted carpet, what do ya think

    OK, one last question, did you have to snap it down or can it just lay in there?
