    BOE said 8ft from radar unit. Looks like I have to locate on deck by windlass next to starboard nav light. At least the anchor locker is there and can run line thru there.

    New Edition to My Fleet

    Nice looking 28 ft boat. I just got a 2013 2520xld in March and love the boat. Traded in a 29ft seaswril stripper with twin 250hp yahama hpdi on it. I love the rear station when fishing alone. I have a 300hp single. I am burning half the fuel and sometimes think the fuel guage is not working.

    I got the Garmin 4210 came with boat and added a Garmin 24in H.D. radome for fog and night nav and also use it on my overlay nav system just to keep up on it.

    When in choppy water I will trim the engine to bring the bow up high to cut down on spray and it helps make the ride less bumpy. I don't use the trim tabs that I have on my 2520xld

    Pattern for canvas cover for second steering station

    You will love the 2520. I just got a 2013 2520xld with the 300hp and it handles the bay well. In idle going with the tide it goes 5mph and have to drag a shoot behind to slow me down to troll.
