After reading hours of post on this site I have come to value your input. I am going to leave this one alone for now. Thanks for the input.

I need some help (again). I have found a 2000 2520 open back with a 2003 5.0 volvo inboard outboard. They are asking $12,000 for the boat with trailer. It sounds like this is a good deal. Maybe too good. What should I be most concerned with when checking the boat out? How much do you think...

It looks like there is a lot of Police and Firemen here. I just want to say thanks for your service.

It was may understanding that this is a left over 08, if it is the sameone I called on last summer. I think they wanted around $52,000 so I marked it off the list. Can't recall if a trailer was in that price or not. I am in Lexington, NC and I have a house with a lift at Oak Island, NC where...

ReelyNauti So what would you think it would take to buy this boat? http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2008- ... L-96413161

Primo That sounds very logical. I wonder if the onboard diagnostics has that data. The boat with 1600 hours is a repo currently on legal hold so getting past data would be hard but I think the boat can be bought right. The boat with 650 hours is a trade in so I could most likely could talk...

Thanks for the input. 650 hours doesn't sound bad.

I am looking at a couple of Parkers that have some hours on them. They are both 2520s and have the Yamaha 225F. One has 650 hours and the other 1600 hours. My quesion is how many hours would you expect out of these motors before having prolems. I know it depends on how they are taken care...

In our current boat the kids and wife will bottom fish with shrimp for what ever will bite. I will fish with live bait for flounder and drum. I would like to be able to go trolling and bottom fishing offshore. When I get a larger boat I plan to get a small (16 -17 ft) skiff to fish in the...

Thanks for the input. I don't have to trailer the boat so I am thinking the 2120, 2320 or 2520 all would work. Its just a matter of finding the right deal and some extra money. Every time there's extra money something comes up. This time it's the wife's car. I have found some real deals...

I will start with how I plan to use the boat. Most of the time it is my wife (Kim) two children (Justin 9 and Katie 4) and myself. We spend a lot of time fishing the ICW and inlets around Oak Island and Southport. I would like to be able to fish the manmade reefs which are 3 two 13 miles...

Did you sell your boat?

I have been looking for a few months now and I can't find a Parker priced anywhere close to NADA average retail. I looked up the 94 2320 extended and it looks like around $15,000 (and I rounded up and didn't have all the info.). Is the NADA value what they are actually selling for? Would it...

Megabyte thanks for the input and to everybody sorry for changing the topic on this post. Just reading and looking for the right boat and the more I learn the more questions I have. This site is great and there is alot of knowledge here. Thanks for sharing.
