Its great to see the activity picking up here on Classic Parker but that unfortunately means the offseason. Lets see the off season projects and so far mine is new batteries but not yet....spring time I will buy them! Watch that little date sticker if you believe it.
I had an Aquasport with a 74 gallon poly tank and no issues, To me an offshore boat needs an aluminum tank foamed in rather than a plastic tank of comparable size but again just my opinion.
I have owned my 2520 notched transom for ten years now and not once have I taken a wave over it. Of course you can take a wave over with any boat but with the notched transom possibly even more. Pick your offshore days and you will be fine.
Depending on what you may do with your boat considering poly....inshore vs. offshore. Myself I would not go poly but you need to consider how you use your boat.
Looking for Fluke and Seabass yesterday outside of Newport. I was bitten off clean with a 6oz Spro w/ squid after a big hit. Less than a minute later my son got another big hit and this is what he brought up. Only about a 3'er but a Mako. Successful release and he was pissed.
Here is what I have on my 300. I have a 2520 Sport Cabin its the new water grip. I will see if I have the box and post that pic too. My motor is all the way down which I thought would be too low but while underway the cavitation plate is at the surface of the water. I am happy with where it is.
