Hello and Greetings from Cape Cod and a 2520XL user.

[sparky]

Greetings fellow Parker folks,
My boss just bought a 2520XL, a 2003 model with a single Yamaha 225-4stroke. We are a research company, and will be using the boat for survey work (and of course, the occasional wreck dive/fishing trip/general amusement). We bought the boat south of Boston, and haven't gotten it into the water yet, but we sea-trialed it, and loved it. 18 knots in a nasty 3-4' following sea, and it didn't pound.

Anyhow, just registered to see what other folks are doing with their Parkers. I'm excited to get working on it this winter. We'll be making a simple-to-swap work table on the port side, swapping out the captain's chair and jumpseat for the table and computer rack/storage.

Howdy. We do a lot of work up in the Gloucester area, although not much this year. I spent quite a bit of time rolling around in the harbor during the dredging project up there for the outfall. January in Gloucester... fun.

You travel so much that Dale has to keep your tradition alive!

Sadly that is true. I spend the first week of Oct in LA. The next two weeks in Hawaii on my 25th wedding anniversary. The next three weeks in LA, Boston, and back to LA. I'm home now and it looks like I've got no travel until mid Jan. Time to go to the CBBT.

And...during all that travel, Dale surpassed me in post-count. I'm now in a lowly 3rd place.

3rd out of 1592 members isn't a bad place to be. :wink:
