So freaking excited

[ParkerOBX]

Thank everyone for allowing me on the site. As a new Parker owner the web site is Pandora's box of ideas and knowledge. I have owned from a 42" Trojan to pontoon boats. I have always hoped to own a Parker pilot house. It ain't new but after looking for 6 months finally found a 94 2520 that was used as a crew carry for a nuke power plant in NC. Only glows on really dark nights. I was starting to think it would be easier to find a unicorn than a used Parker that an owner wanted to sell. It has a f225 Yam that is an 06. Had it two days and took it to mechanic to get checked out. That was 4 weeks ago. Still not started. Praying for the best. With the Outer Banks unpredictable weather I think this is the best boat for the area. Thanks again.

Make sure the trailer is sitting level on the hitch from the pic it looks like it's angle down a bit which tells me that the weight is on the front tires that could blow a bearing raise the hitch up a bit or the picture is a optical illusion. Just turn that hitch over probably would do it. Welcome aboard.

Thanks, already done. Old truck was 2500hd with three inch lift and still have same hitch. Flipped it and all level now.

Just heard from mechanic. He found hairline crack in lower unit. Not so freaking excited anymore

With all of the 225s hanging around with corrosion issues I bet you could find a used lower fairly cheap.

I bought a reman new style lower unit from marine rebuild close to Tampa. Maybe they fix it.

Yep. Not a big deal.
JB Weld it, weld it, or replace it.
Inexpensive.
