Sale Pending.

For sale is my 2007 Parker 21 SE equipped w/ 2006 Yamaha 150 HP 4-stroke currently with 940 hours, Garmin GPSMAP 740s combination plotter sounder with touchscreen and Standard Horizon Eclipse GX1300 DSC VHF radio with upgraded 8' Shakespeare antenna for increased range. Boat comes with a 2013...

Thanks for the feedback Brent. I will check the shift cable/rod in the spring when I do the water pump. I admit I have been using the same washers on the fill and drain plugs on the lower unit for a long time. But I just changed the gear oil when I pulled the boat and it was pristine w/ 60...

How will I know when my lower unit is going bad? I have 850 so far flawless hours on my 2006 F150 and recently I'm getting what could be described as a rattling sound when I put the boat in reverse. Does not happen in Forward. I just pulled for the season and plan to replace the water pump...

Had a heck of a morning on Saturday catching albies on epoxy jigs and deadly dicks off of Monmouth County NJ. What a blast. Hopefully they stick around a little while longer until I can get back out.

I went through this as well this year. I had previously contacted Bausch American Tower since they were the OEM leaning post but they no longer build them. I ended up getting a fixed back leaning post from Birdsall and they matched the Parker fabric. Looks great and so much more functional...

Thanks. I have purple power at home and it's cheap so that's good. and I went out and picked up collonite cleaner/wax and woody wax so i'll wash, compound, and then wax the hull with the collonite and then hit everything inside w/ the woody wax. - Mike

I'm hoping that a few days in the sun will fade the staining and then I can use on/off or something similar to remove whatever remains. Collonite looks like a good two step cleaner and wax. I also have heard great things about woody wax. - MIke

Hey Guys, Having a pretty serious issue here and I think aerosol sunscreen is to blame. I am getting nasty orange stains on my gelcoat on the gunwales and the front side of the livewell under the helm chairs. I've cleaned the boat 3 times and can't get rid of it. Has anybody experienced this...

Nice work Djam!! That is a heck of a nice Tuna!! -Mike

Thanks. We had a great YFT bite around the resor wreck last August. Hopefully we get that opportunity again. Nothing better than YFTs only 36 miles from port. - Mike

Thanks Guys. Was a hell of a day. Can't wait to get back out there.

The reel is an old Penn Sargus. The main gear started stripping on the end game of the first fish and by the end game on the second I was handlining. The rod was a Tsunami 50-100 lb class spinning. I don't recommend either for tuna. After this trip I replaced the set up with a Shimano Terez...

Yes, very good eating. tuna steaks on the BBQ last night with a few different marinades. incredible. - Mike
