My 1992 Parker 17" has a 30 gallon built in fuel tank from the factory, that is plenty for me as my 90 4 stroke is very fuel efficient.

I have a 1992 Parker17, love the boat!! I have a Yamaha 90 4 stroke on mine. The motor is just heavy enough to put the scuppers about 3/4 the way under water. I do put plugs in them from the interior of the boat. If I don't just enough water may come in the fill the little recessed area just...

Brad; Welcome aboard!! I too have a 17' Parker that I bought new in 1992. Great boat!! My boat originally came with an 85 - 2 stroke yamaha that I never liked, it never seemed to idle right and the dealer couldn't get it to improve so after about a year I traded the motor in and bought a 90 hp 2...

I'm having a problem with my Garmin Homeport program. I'm not sure if I have the latest update, I have Version 2.0.4 When I open Homeport and go to help - Check for updates I always get a gray block in the middle of the screen that says " Problem making update request via internet. Check your...

The 90 four-stroke puts the water just about to the top of the scuppers so yes they are under water. They seem to still work well but not knowing if I wanted to trust this I purchased a couple of 1-1/4" deck plugs with the folding handle that expands them and put them in the scuppers from the...

I have a 91 Parker 17' - Bought it new, it's always been a great boat for the kind of fishing and boating I do. When I purchased the boat in 91 it had an 85 Yamaha on it. I never liked the motor as it never would idle just right plus you had to mix the gas & oil. After about a year I purchased...

Rag mop, My 17' has a 30 gal. tank, I also emailed Robin and was emailed a drawing of the actual tank showing all dimensions. I plan on changing all my fuel line sometime this winter. If you pull your center deck plate there should be a sticker with the model - serial number - gallons -...

Check page 2 under All Parker Boats, about 3/4 way down post about 17', I listed some spec. under that reply.

Optimax fish No way did I think you were slamming the 17. Everyone on this board loves their Parker no matter what size boat they have. I have to admit the 18 is nicer and I like the console better too. When I bought my 17 in 92 I got up in it and thought this is all the boat I need for what I...

Ragmop, I think I have seen your boat, are you from Salisbury? If so I have been down your street and your boat caught my eye because I have one like it, a 1992. I like you love the boat. It's a shame Parker doesn't make them now. Some of the first did have a seat all the way across in the bow...

I emailed Robin at Parker Boats last night and had a reply first thing this morning (talk about service!!!) My question was what years did they make the 17' CC and how many did they produce. The answer I received was they were built between 1990 and 1997. There were only 268 of the 17'CC made so...

K9Willen, I'm not sure when Parker started making the 17'CC but the latest model I believe was about a 1998 so that must be about when they stopped making the 17' and stayed with the 18' line. I have a few original Parker brochures from when I brought mine new in 1992. They list a length of 17'...

Thanks for all the replies so far. (K9Willem) I look forward to seeing pictures of your installation of the Raymarine A65. I have looked at them at a local shop, they are on sale here also. The unit has a great screen but is a bit larger than what I was hoping for. I have also looked at the...

I'm the owner of the rare 17' Parker CC - love the boat for the type use I have for it (pleasure & fishing) I have an older hummingbird fish finder which works very well but have decided now I want to add GPS. I have a small console so space is limited. Any suggestions on a good either just GPS...
