Glad I found this thread. Although I love the performance of my Volvo QL trim tabs, I just cant seem to get them to last. The boat is wet slipped and I can't help but think electronic tabs and a wet slipped boat is a bad combo. I've been looking around and after finding this thread, I believe...

FYI - I saw this on The Hull Truth. Thought it might of interest to someone on here. I have NO ASSOCIATION with the seller whatsoever. Complete 2nd station off 25 Parker. Yamaha cables, teleflex helm and moorse 2 stick controls. 325 obo. http://southjersey.craigslist.org/boa/3992710070.html...

FWIW, I have a First Gen HDS 8 and 10 in the pilot house of a 27 Judge and have never had a problem with the internal GPA antennas getting a good signal.

Congratulations on the new boat. Last year I switched to a 22 lbs Delta Plow on my 27 Judge primarily because they are self launching. I installed an E-Z Anchor Puller windlass and with my Danforth anchor I still had to go up on the bow and kick it loose, with the Delta, I don't. It has only...

Nice boat! For give my ignorance, but what is a "gin pole" and what is it used for..Im assuming a pulley goes on it, but what are you pulling with it?

Ive got two of these. They list for $89.99 a piece on Sea-Suckers website. I have used them for 2 seasons. This winter I am installing permanent stainless cupholders. I'll trade them for two 30 packs of Bud Light. Local Pick Up only. Im in Northern Calvert County, MD

How well will this style of anchor work on the Chesapeake Bay? Normally fish from the Annapolis Bay Bridge down to Solomons.

Another vote for the Xtra Tuf boots.

Not a Parker but a very similar layout. I use the Cannon drop in rod holder mounts for my downriggers. I bought a extra set of the mounting plates and mounted them in the overhead of the cabin so I can store the downriggers up and out of the way while not in use. Tawn

Thanks for the info. Will be having one installed. I've come to hate bottom fishing and live lining due to hauling the anchor by hand. Please post some follow up comments and lessons learned as you use it more. I have done a lot of research on windlasses and this seems to be the only way to...

Same question: Which model did you go with and would you chose that model again? Looking to put one on a 27 Judge. Any feedback or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated. Did you do the install yourself?

Porkchunker, I'm still on active duty - I live in Huntingtown, MD; just up Rt 4 from the Navy Rec Center. A little bit of buyers remorse - hard to go from a big block (7.4L) V-8 3/4 ton to a small block (5.4L) 3/4 ton P/U. I was dead set on a diesel but through Bortnick Ford I found the new...

Thanks for all the input - Last week I bought an 08 F-250 4X4 crewcab 5.4 liter P/U. From my house in So MD the Solomons boat ramp is only 15 miles away and Breezy Point is only about 5 miles away both on fairly level ground. Would loved to have had the diesel but the extra 10K for the diesel...

I don't have a Parker 2320 ...........yet. The War Department (wife) says I have to buy and payoff a new truck before I can trade boats. So the sooner I trade trucks, the sooner I'm in a Parker. I am currently pulling a 21' CC with a 98 K2500 7.4L Chevrolet I bought new in 97. It gets about...

Looking for input on a tow vehicle for a 23' pilothouse / 225Hp Parker - I am trying to decide between a 6.4 L diesel and a 5.4L gas F-250 4X4. Any owners of either vehicles that that can provide first-hand input : I am all ears. Thanks in adveance, Tawn STSCM(SS) U.S. Navy
