    2520 with 500 HP

    I kinda remember something with a trailer but to tell you the truth anymore I have a hard time remembering 5 days ago let alone 5 years, I would be happy to take you out for either a spin or maybe a salmon trip this summer. I will be in the middle of building a new house down here but I still...

    2520 with 500 HP

    AK Have you ever fished on a 25' DV with 200s? I believe that 200s power that hull pretty good. I fish the same area you do out of a 2530 with 200 zuks and it has plenty of power. Far better than the 150s it came with. I think the boat is already ass heavy and adding the heavier 250s will make...

    Suspension seat ideas?

    I have had the Smooth Moves on my 2530 for 6-7 years now. They have held up well and have been very happy with them. Good luck

    Hamonic noise in the 2520XL cabin???

    I have had this same issue since repowering my 2530 with twin 200 Suzukis in 2016. Mine is the worst at about 4000 RPM and the sound reverb would give me a headache. Had it in the shop multiple times trying different things to make it better. The biggest improvement came from changing the...

    2520 Re-power with twin Suzuki 200's

    "Now.....Onto a different subject......Your Props.....Who installed them? Is your counter Rotator on the STB side? Normally the Counter Rotator is on the Port side and you have the props swapped... What will Happen? When you put the boat in Forward.....It will go in reverse......When you...

    Wiper motor 07 2530

    Hi I have a 07 2530 which I bought new. One of the wiper motors has finally given up. 14 years is not a bad run. I thought I had the info for the motors in the package I was given at time of purchase but I can not seem to find it. Any ideas on who the manufacture is of these motors and possibly...

    Suzuki 200 props

    I installed a pair of these on my 2530 a couple years ago. I ran the 16x20s for a while and they worked pretty good and now I run a set of 16x19 PowerTech 4 blades. I like the 4 blades better. I would be interested to know if you experience a harmonic vibration with these motors. The howl in the...

    After market helm seats

    I believe the seats were about 550 each and the bases were about 500 each. Something like that

    After market helm seats

    Put these in my boat about 6 months ago. Bentley seats and smooth move bases. A huge improvement and so far the bases have been awesome.

    Parker 2830 Extended cabin updates:

    Love your boat. Question for you. Are those in deck fish boxes under the deck hatches? If so, when you get a chance would love to see a picture of them opened up. Thanks and congrats on finding what I wish I had found 8)

    2530XL w/ Twin Yamaha 150s

    I would say cruise was about 25 or so burning about 17GPH or so. Never really payed to much attention to the fuel burn as it just is what it is and it changes so much depending on the conditions. I am pretty sure that you need a 15 pitch prop on the 150s to run decent but I only tried a couple...

    2530XL w/ Twin Yamaha 150s

    Nick I Have the same boat. I found with the 150s I was running(and I run it pretty heavy also) I had to go down to a 14 5/8x 15 Apollos. You should wind up with WOT of about 35 MPH or so and 5800 - 5900. I also ran a set of Merc Enertias in a 17". Could not get quite the rpm I was looking for...

    Repower 07 2530

    Just got the boat back this week and have only been able to run it around for a couple of hours. Boat is pretty light as I have zero gear and such in it but did have 4 heavyweight eaters on board. Boat pops right up and cruises pretty good at about 28kts getting right at 2MPH. Thats right about...

    No problem AK. I am sure you wont have a problem finding someone to follow out. Good luck on the rigging, that in itself can get to be just as stressful as the boat thing. Tight lines

    AK Very good choice. I was watching on another site while guys were pushing another brand on you and good on you for making up your own mind. I can tell you after 10 years of running my 2530 strictly out of Westport that it is as solid as the day I towed it off the lot. I think you are going to...
