    2520 XL with new Suzuki 300

    I dealt last year with that original prop. Things have to change now. Full tank of gas(180 gallons) and 7 people. Never got on plane today. Couldn’t push the boat past 15 mph. I want to puke. 300 Suzuki on a bracket

    Minn Kota trolling motor on 25’ Cabin?

    I’m making the move over to MinnKota for the trolling motor for the purpose of not having to drop my anchor again. I fish for haddock in deep water and pulling the anchor is a pain and time consuming affair Has anyone else installed the motor? How does it do with the bow rail? What are...

    Repower 2015 2520 XLD

    Atlantic boats in Wareham just posted that they had engines in stock. I repowered last year with a 300 Suzuki and was happy this year (550 hours). Could you put 2 200 tohataus on her?

    Holding tank removal

    I thought of that the other day. I’ll never have anyone use that toilet. It’s good storage It feels like a waste to remove it; but also a waste of space to keep it.

    Any wisdom on reducing the pounding?

    I drive a 2004 2520 with a new 300 Suzuki…. My last boat was a 25’ CHawk pilot house. Similar design…but he Parker ride, now that I have a Parker, is a million times better than the chawk! I fish New England; lots of chop and it’s a joy (compared to last boat!)

    2520 XL with new Suzuki 300

    It might take two minutes to get up on plane like that. I’ll try changing props!

    West coast bow rail height

    34” to top rail and 21 to bottom I love it. We cast for bluefin on Cape cod from up there; jig for haddock, etc. it feels safe

    Cabin seating

    I took the doors off of the boxes and love the set up now. You can reach in easily—a new floor for the top compartment makes all of the difference
