Well..... not a parker. I'm hoping to get one this summer, possibly late june. If I do get one it will be the 2820XLD with 2 x 250 yamaha 4 strokes. I currently have an Angler 2500CC with a 225. It's in my front yard now getting the gelcoat restored. Everyone keep your boats waxed! Or it...

Mine died and it was replaced under warranty. The new one is LOUD!!! Much louder than the other one. jim

Cool. I figured it would be tight as heck but doable. How do you like the 120? Are you using the radar overlay? Must be sweet lookig at that big ol screen. I currently have the SL760RC on my CC. Thx, Jim

My friend has one, and he likes it lots. I can forward his email to you if you want. He hangs out on spearboard.com. I believe it is a 2001. The only problem he has had with it is the fuel tank started leaking. Parker sent a trailer down and picked it up and brought it back no charge. The...

Thanks. I'd definetly d/l the template and see before purchasing. In the meantime, maybe someone will chime in who has one here on the board. See ya, Jim

Hi, will this unit fit in the dash (flush mount) of a new 2820? Looks like it will. TIA, Jim

fyi - Global Marine insurance is $1,900. Progressive is the same. Will try Boat us. The above has a limit of 125nm from shore. Full replacement for the first 5 years. Includes all electronics and equipment. I'm in FLA with excellent credit, no claims etc... they are sticking us hard down...

Amen! LOL... that is funny... Ya holding on the pipe isn't the best. But we make due with bean bags. Man they are so nice. But the wind, spray etc... getting old for me. Thanks guys, just what I expected to hear. Now I'm checking on what my insurance will cost for the 28 parker.... my...

Thx for the pic. By chance do you have a pic of the hull from outside? Would like ot see where it is in reference to the keel, chines etc. I'll need to trailer it sometimes and I need to see where it is. Also for my cradle lift at the house. TIA Jim

Awesome, I figured it would. And obvioulsy in lousy conditions heck ya I'll take it slow. I really appreciate all the responses... this is a big deal for me. I talked to a dealer and they can arrange a test drive when I get closer to the date. The 28 parker pilothouse is awesome looking...

Thx. I'll gladly take this offline via PM if you want. Yes all of those are very important to me and my family. But, are you saying that the 28 with 2 250's fully loaded won't run 30knts in nice conditions? Again, not looking for a go fast boat... but I do need to make some time running to...

The majority of my safety gear is in the center console which includes 2 hours of O2. The epirb is in the leaning post. Being divers we have all sorts of floating devices on the boat... Our water temps usually run between 68 and 82. The parker will get a life raft stocked and will keep it up...

Thanks for the reply I greatly appreciate it. I am looking at this boat for the exact same reasons as you. Comfort, dry and no wind. Also a/c and heat capabilities. Not to mention all of that room. The only other closed pilothouse that I've been in was a chawk 25 MV. That is what got me...

Hi everyone, I am serioulsy thinking about getting a new 2820 XLD with 2 X 250 yamaha 4 strokes this coming summer. I'm very lucky to be looking for such a boat. I really like what I have seen, but have not ever ridden in one. I will test drive one before and if I get one. I want something...
