    Fat Daddy from So Cal

    Just wanted to introduce myself to the new site. I have a 2000 DVSC with a Merc Diesel and Bravo IIIx outdrive. I bought the boat used a couple of years ago and had it shipped to So Cal from SC. Parkers are great boats and I am looking forward to the new site and talking with other Parker owners.
