The se models have 14 degrees deadrise at the transom. The 2300 center console, has 21 degrees. The se models are great boats for drift fishing and getting in skinny water for light tackle fishing. Even on rough days, once you reach your destination, the boat is very stable, and will allow...

Had my 21se for 9 seasons, no problem either. The 21se has a well designed self-bailing cockpit. Scuppers never under water, even with a couple of guys standing back there fishing.

Are you sure it isn't a brand called "Bait Sentry"? Do you have a saltwater washdown? White with a blue top with two output ports (baitwell and washdown)? When mine went, I just replaced the cartridge, and re-crimped the new wires.

When I installed my speakers, I placed them on the side of the console, but more towards the bow, and mounted them low below the gunnel line. So basically the speakers where shooting at the hull sides. I was using a Alpine head unit, with Infinity marine speakers, and the sound was VERY good.

I know I'm not making an apples to apples comparison, but my 21 se had a 200 hp Yamaha Ox66 2 stroke, and the boat hit a top speed of 46-47 mph. That motor weighed in at 454 lbs, and I believe I was spinning a 17" prop. 4000 RPM's - 30 MPH 4500 RPM's - 35 MPH 5000 RPM's - 40 MPH No T-Top...

Appreciate the compliment. Its a great boat. It's just time for someone else to enjoy it now.

Thanks! Not much to it. It's a pretty easy rig to keep clean. What I like is that you can wash it it entirely, and then hose it down. I got your message, but when I tried to reply by board-mail, the Parker site kept locking up??? I'll try again tomorrow.

SOLD. Thanks Classic Parker and Dale

We had the power go out a few months ago after the Hurricaine we just had in late August. The first thing I did in the morning was fire up my Honda Eu2000i generator to use our Keurig coffee maker. Let me tell you - The generator was able to get the job done, but BARELY. It really seemed to...

Hey, looking good. Nice choice on motor, I have the same one on my 21se. FYI, my boat came installed from the factory with the Teleflex "No-Feedback" steering, and drives almost effortlessly. Just wanted to let you know that you have another option. Less complexities compared to a...

Yeah, after a long day on the water you will feel it some. There is not a lot of cushioning built into it. You could have an upholstery shop recover it with better quality foam and add some bolstering for support as well. Browse around on the internet to get some ideas. FYI -> I purchased a...

I hear you buddy! I tried doing it like you described as well. Just wasn't happening. 8)

I don't know exactly how your Big Bay is set-up, but running wires in my 21se is major pain in the neck. The PVC wire chase on my boat is not located directly under the console. The Chase tube actually terminates under the deck, and I needed to use mirrors to locate it, and then had to try to...

Getting close! Hows the swap on the powerhead coming along?

No need to go with Volvo replacement manifolds. You will easily pay 2x the amount. As the other guy said, get yourself some Osco's, and put a couple coats of black paint on them (Mercury Marine makes spray paint just for exhaust manifolds). After re-installing and everything checks out OK...
