Sorry to bump this old post to the top. I sold this boat almost 3 years ago but must not have changed the title on ClassicParker to "SOLD".

Here's a cool Parker 2520 on eBay (no affiliation with it). http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 2759.l1259 I love the buggy top with built-in rocket launchers. Anybody seen one of these before or know where I can get one for my 2520? I contacted the eBay seller too, but haven't...

I either crushed or got wet three digital Canons before making the move to the Olympus 850. My opinion is that Canons are a little more intuitive to use and are capable of taking slightly better pictures than the Olympus. BUT, the Olympus is tougher than the Canons I've had in the past. That...

Howdy, Fellas, My 2520 has a full transom that has a fish box that runs almost the entire beam of the boat. I wondered if anyone had any clever ideas for putting a divider in it? That way maybe 1/4 could be for drinks, ice, and food, and the other 3/4 could be for fish. It'd be pretty cool...

Hi, Jim, Good question. I'm embarrased to say I didn't know the answer, so I had to do a little research. First, I looked at all my paperwork and it turns out the boat is a 2007 model, not 2006. I bought it in April of 07. Then, I called the dealer that I bought the boat from to find out...

For Sale: 2007 Panga 22 LX with E-Tech 115 and custom Continental trailer. I bought a Parker 2520 last fall - time to sell the center console. The boat is located in Mayo, MD - about 10 miles south of Annapolis. Here's the ad with many more details: http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2006- ...

Here's a little project, but I thought it was worth posting because it was so easy and might work well for other guys. I put a flush mount tackle center in the hatch that was on the starboard side jump seat inside the cabin. I bought the tackle center from AllTackle, which is local to me...

Hey, Fellas, Based on all the great input everyone offered on my previous post about a 2nd station, I planning to proceed with this project over the winter. I wondered if anyone could help me out with a parts list. I'm gonna follow Megabyte's suggestion and try and run the parts down myself...

Oooh! That heater looks like the ticket. Thanks for the suggestion.

After docking in the gale on Sunday, y'all are preaching to the choir. It would have been SO much easier and safer if I was outside the wheelhouse and could have communicated and worked better with my help on the dock. And, of course, I'm sold on the fishing advantages. One more to add...

Nice install! Looks just like it came from the factory. I'll bet your itching to try it out. One way or another, this is going to make a nice winter project on my rig. You fellas have me convinced that I'm gonna really want a second station

The additions to the entry door are pictured here. It's just a knife rack and a beer holder / tool tray. Might even hold two beers. I'll get some more and better pictures up when I can. I did also have this shot of the electronics. It's got Furuno radar, GPS, and bottom finder. The bottom...

Hey, Everyone, I finally got around to uploading a few pics of our new 2520 XL. We launched her yesterday during most windy conditions I've ever seen in my 2 years here in Mayo. Geez. It was nasty, but she did just fine in the Rhode River - I was chicken to take her on the open Bay. She's a...

Howdy, Everyone, Just took delivery on our 2003 2520 XL. This all happened so fast that I didn't have time to find a trailer before the boat arrived at my dock. I only plan on using the trailer for winter storage and maybe to get back and forth to the mechanic, if necessary. I don't intend...

Thanks to everyone for the great ideas. That's what makes ClassicParker so great . . . smart folks willing to spend some time sharing their hard-earned expertise. I'm giddy as a school girl because I bought that boat this morning! Rick from Ducky's Boats near Harrisburg, PA was straight to...
