Welcome to the forum and I think you’re doing the right thing by waiting, especially if you already have a great boat. When car dealers are tacking on 3-10k to an MSRP you know things have gone bananas.

Warthog- thank you for the kind comments- you’re a true leader on this forum for years now. “Strong island” tomc585- the whole point of the forum is to learn, share experiences, and share Parker life- your first comment to my post is exactly what this forum doesn’t need… Thanks to the others who...

Thanks to you all- bilge has been totally dry, as has platform (I thought it was a platform plug)—-the hull plug is a bit bigger than this one, but so far no adverse water so probably a spare for some other application or I’m wrong and carrying 200 gallons of h2o at $6.00 gas that I’m not aware of!

Had the marina put the boat in the water, and arrived to find this screw on my helm station. Any idea what it might be to?

Maybe this means we'll be able to keep them IN the water until late November then!

PhilR- Just because you own it in freshwater doesn’t mean it can’t be brought to salt right? Putting my thoughts on price aside (i think you are almost 50% under), I am curious as to what the difference is btw bow thruster and these Yamaha joy stick systems is? I have a 2540which catches wind...

Or (and I hate to even ask this as an owner)…is it just poor hull design?

Ok- so I have a similar issue- I have the dual console, twin 200s yamahas- factory props. Was out last weekend in Nantucket sound, 2-3ft, which can be no problem at 17-19 mph, my family and I slowed down to do the Hyannis to Edgartown crossing in 4-5 (at 13mph), but I am always trying to get on...

Hi all- while pulling my hair out trying to answer the “do I need to subscribe to the Navionics app if I also have Active Captain and Garmin Plotters” question- I came upon a helpful link explaining how to pre-fish, or pre-plot in Navionics and transfer to Active Captain and then your on-boat...

Welcome and post some pics of your rig (please)!

I can fully understand the company not engaging in a third- party forum. If they did it would become a kumbya session of half apologies and new product launches. They probably have two or three marketing staff- it would be bananas. I do, however, agree with Baker’s last point— those are ALL on...

“Disinterested Labor” is only going to get worse as we (hopefully) get back closer to full employment unfortunately. Has anyone ordered takeout in the pandemic and actually gotten their entire order?

Great advice! Keep it coming!

Hi all- I know not many of you have the 2540 dual console- but I’m thinking that for the whole community it might be fun to introduce the conundrum facing this model, which is amazing btw! So we have a smaller stern area than a 23/25 is my guess due to extra seating, but the two side gunnel rod...

Pelagic- I might get SLAMMED here for this heresy, but for your 2530, what about a Bluetooth only portable device or two like the sonos move?
