    1801 or 1800 with 90 hp

    Numbers are in.... FIRST things first; I had Hooked on the Bay (North East, Maryland)perform the install. They are a family owned and run marine sales and service business. Wayne, Felecia (owners) and Roger (lead mechanic) work hard to exceed customer expectations,,,,,, indeed they did. I just...

    Bow rail replacement on 2004 1801

    Yes, I had the same problem with holes in my console. The good news for you is that you can buy pint cans of Parker Gelcoat from your dealer. It matches perfectly. Wet sand and polish with rubbing compound, top off with wax and you will not see the fix.

    1801 or 1800 with 90 hp

    Well, I ordered a Honda 90 for my 1800. I guess I will be able to answer my own quetions soon enough. I have the current speed data for the Yamaha 115 2 stroke on it now and will be able to compare and contrast to the 90 Honda once it is installed and gets through the break in period. Will post...

    1801 or 1800 with 90 hp

    I have an 1800 with 115 yama 2 stroke... and now I'm considering a repower. I came across a deal on a new 90hp 4 stroke Yamaha with the 25" shaft I need. I am looking for performance numbers and opinions. Any trouble getting on plane? Water entering scuppers from the added weight? Overall top...

    1995 Parker 1800 new to me: a few questions

    I have the same boat with a yammi 115. For the record there was a 60 gallon upgrade on this boat. Mine has it, it is even listed on the Bill of Sale... that said, 40 gallons was standard issue. Yup. these 2 strokes drink fuel and the more you run the trottle, the more she will drink. Knock the...

    gelcoat question

    I think the issue MAY be that the gelcoat you are using is PROBABLY polyester based and that does not adhere too well to epoxy. (However, epoxy does adhere very well to polyester.) So you MAY have an adhesion issue. Thing is with boats, right about the time you think you got them figured out...

    Rod holder replacement liners

    I pulled mine out and got my kid's protractor. There is a line that is perpendicular to the angled top edge. I laid the protractor along that edge and sure enough, they are 30 degrees. Since our boats are the same model and only a few years apart, I am thinking yours are too.

    Rod holder replacement liners

    I have an 1800 (1995) with the same problem and I too need liners. Does anyone know what angle they are? It looks like Lee has 0, 15 and 30 degree liners. Also medium and heavy duty ones. Lee quality is first class and I would love to use them, if they will work. Thx!

    fuel capacity of 1991 18

    Yeah, my 95 has a 60 gallon tank as well.... when she is filled, it's nice knowing you HAVE enough fuel.

    Found pin hole :(

    Does anyone think that maybe some better life jackets are in order. How do you think that dude with a throw cushion strapped to his back feels. Btw, he will float FACE DOWN in that configuration. Good thing they did not have to swim for it.

    1800 console upgrades

    Sam, Not sure how you did the photoshop work but I like it. I have the same boat, just a few years older and have considered making a similar modification. However, personally, I do not want to raise my windshield as I like looking over it and having a clear view of the water. So my thought...

    Coastal Canvas, Beaufort NC

    I recently decided to replace the front and rear seat cushions on my 1995 / 1800 Parker CC. I did some searching on this site and found that Coastal Canvas makes the cushions for Parker. A little more seaching and I came up with a webpage and phone number. A quick phone call put me in touch...

    1801 center console???

    SamR, pull the anchor in... j/K My prop is a 13 1/4 x17 K.... not sure what the "k" means. Speed of 43 MPH measured with GPS. Was running with the wind and ~ 1 foot chop. There is no bottom paint and no T top. Just the standard factory hull. This is a 2 stroke yama - what are you running??

    1801 center console???

    Asking if it is a wet boat is very subjective and opened ended unless it is compared to something. Yes, with the right sea and wind conditions, I can get spray in the boat, that is true of any boat. Good news is, anything that washes on - washes off. I would say mine is a very solid boat. You...

    Boat defueling

    Yes, I did this last year on my 1800. I picked up an 12v electric fuel pump (low pressure) from the local automotive store, extended the wires and added aligator clips to the end. I purchased 12' of hose and attached it to the ends of the pump and then proceeded to off load ~52 gallons of 10...

    18 Repower F-115 vs F-150

    That is a beautiful 1801 - I think you can out run me! :) My fall project is to move my battery to the console and then upgrade to a dual system. If you get a chance, will you please take a pic of how the batteries mount in the console. That would same me a lot of figuring. Thx,

    18 Repower F-115 vs F-150

    Funny you mention the 2 to 4 stroke comparision. I own both and there is nothing like the torque of the 2 stroke. Mine jumps on a plane and gets it; and it turns 6300-6400 rpm at WOT. I have to use premix and yes it is dirty by comparision, when I nail it - it goes, I like that. :D Agree with...
