Hi kbrown, I own a 2003 2120 pilothouse (21 degree deadrise) and live in Niantic which routinely gives me access to the exact waters you are inquiring about. During the season I generally go out a few times a week as well, so I am definitely familiar with the local waters. You will most...

Sorry to hijack, but for those who can't get their Yamaha's to pee while using muffs, remove the plastic screen filters on the bottom of the outboard where the water is drawn into the muffs. That will eliminate the problem and you should be able to get a flow of water out of the tell tale hole...

Hi Kid, Unfortunately I checked the amazon link and it doesn't look like they are selling the 24-26 ft cover anymore :(. I purchased the 22-24 ft cover and I believe it will certainly fit a 2320, but a 2530 might be pushing it with the same cover. Budge does have a website though and can...

Hi Sean. The cover was quite easy to install. I ended up doing the whole thing by myself in about 25 minutes (It probably will go much faster the second time around). I laid out the cover next to the boat as it needed to be installed, then rolled it up from the stern. I then threw the cover...

UPDATE: Cover Installed!! Well all, I finally got around to cleaning the deck of the boat a bit and installing the cover. All I can say is I am very happy with the results! If anything the cover is "just slightly" on the large size but overall fits extremely well. After seeing the pictures...

Hey guys, I will post back once I have a chance to put the cover on the boat. Things have been crazy ATM with the holidays coming up, but between now and early January I should be able to clean the boat and cover it. Shawnee83, the cover is designed to be used year round so I don't think it...

Hi all, With the winter season approaching I spent some time researching a suitable cover for my '03 2120. I thought I would do everyone here a favor and post a link to a cover I found for around $200. I also assume it will fit most parkers in the 18-25 ft range depending on what cover length...

Nice catch! I wasn't able to land any stripers this past year other than a few shorts :(. Its also really cool to see that you guys have hybrid striped bass (wipers) down South since we never see them up North. You can tell the second fish is a wiper by the break in its stripes. Must have...

I was in Newport on the same day and saw the same thing! We went on the Madeleine for a sailing cruise and left right around 2ish. I believe they might be a navy seal team.

Oh I didn't realize. Please keep me posted as to when the meet will be.

I am out of smith cove. Small world! Maybe Ill see you sometime on the water. With all the local parkers in niantic maybe we should arrange a big meet or something haha.

Nice catch Zippy! Im in the area too, although we haven't caught any fluke here yet. Usually they are in the river, but all the reports so far are saying fluke fishing has been pretty slow this year. What kind of Parker do you have?

I was looking through the photos and noticed something pretty interesting. You might already be aware of this but the fish you caught is actually not a striped bass. Its a hybrid between a striped bass and white bass (wiper), which can recognized by the broken stripes on the side. People...

Welcome Sarge, I am newer hear as well and just bought an 03' 2120 this year. Take what I say with a grain of salt as I haven't had a ton of time on my boat, but it seems to do a very good job of keeping water out of the transom area. I typically fish with three people and with everyone...

Thanks hotpursuit, I fish out of Niantic Connecticut. The water has been abnormally cold for this time of the year so we were really happy to catch anything!
