I have a 2019 2300 SE, 200 Yamaha 382 hours, tandem axle trailer same year. (2) Raymarine Axiom 9" displays, Raymarine Doppler radar, Ray Marine VHF, ACR wirelsss remote search light. Kept on lift, never bottom painted, shed kept during off season and a t-top cover. Considering selling 65K. Rock...

FYI - this is incorrect. Batteries in series only increase voltage not amp hours. Three 12 volt 50AH in series is 36 volts and still 50AH. Batteries in parallel increase amp hours and not voltage. Three 12 volt 50AH batteries in parallel is still 12 volts but is 150AH...

I have a 2019 23 SE. I bought an ACR RCL-85 wireless remote search light (pricey) and made a custom mount to go around the tee top tubing out of starboard. The light is a very bright spot light. I only us it to verify things I see on the radar and in areas I know there are pot floats. I also use...

Hello all from Rock Hall MD. I have a friend (I really do - not me) looking to sell his 2005 2320, Yamaha 2 stroke HPDI 1070 hours on a bracket. The boat is fair to good condition cosmetically and need some TLC. It runs fine, has a trailer - probably same year. VHF and older chart plotter and...

Hey RonS, I like that casting platform you built! I have a 2019 23SE and am going to put on the same trolling motor. Any issues with that much battery weight forward? I was going to build a box to fit under the seat in front of the console, three group 31's will fit there if made to the contour...

Hey all, I want to put a trolling motor on my 2300SE. I would be using this in low tidal current conditions and light winds, occasionally to 15 knots. In those conditions would a 24v 80# suffice for occasional use? I realize bigger is better. Just trying to keep the cost down a bit with 2...

Definitely the bigger the better, especially if using it with multiple windows. I have a 2300SE and had room for one 10" or two 9" displays. I went with two 9". I run plotter and fish finder on one and radar on the other. They are Raymarine Axiom 9" units with the Quantum2 radar - which is...

As a charter boat captain for 25 years, owning/operating boats to 48', I was always a Furuno guy. I retired last year and bought a 2300 SE - absolutely love the boat. IMO Furuno has got out of hand with prices and is no longer a leader. I installed two Raymarine Axiom 9" displays with a Quantum...

You need a chart card. CMAP 4D is what it uses. Not a bad unit I ran two boats that had them. Of course newer units are nicer/faster processors, but the 1870 was a good unit. Enjoy! here's a link to original brochure. https://www.furunousa.com/en/products/gp1870f Heres a link to the full...

Well said.....he needs a deep v or a 40 footer :)

Man that is nice! if you dont mind what did it cost? What are O.A. dimensions and opening dimensions. Thanks!

Best explanation. Deep v is a softer ride period. Trim is crucial. I have been on many different Parkers. I think they have one of the best riding hulls in the industry. You just need to decide if modified v or deep v is what you need and will suit you boating best. I went with a 23 SE which is...

In the vertical bulkhead in the bow where the anchor locker is.

Thanks for the reply. The vertical bulkhead. If you would please post pictures of the hatch you are installing.
