I own the exact same model and year boat.I had to replace the fuel tanks also ( 2 80 gal.tanks ).Tanks were pitted badly.I replaced with One 125 gal.tank.Original floor was soft in a few spots,that's what made me open it up.Top 3" of stringers were soft also,so I cut out and replaced.Had a pro...

Hello Saltyfish. I live on the Severn also and fish the Mobjack as well.I own a 2520 that I launch at Crown Pt.I also have a 16' Carolina Skiff that I keep at my dock on the Severn.I go anywhere in the Mobjack in that skiff.Naturally you don't want to venture out when it is rough.If you are...

Some of you guys need to jump off of you HIGH HORSE!!This guy was only stating a simple question.I'll bet if this was DALES idea most of you would be drooling.Just because someone moderates a web sight does not make them right.Showing up at the dock with a new bow thruster would be no worse than...

Don't make excuses for DALE!Every other post is smug.Always a "One Upper"!!!

Dale was spot on with his suggestions.The reason for the boat,and not a barrel or tank is to create torque or a load on motor.(Everyone knows a motor runs it's best in a barrel).Otherwise all you do is throw water around.These older motors are carbed,the adjustments are for optimum...

Dale,I also have a older Pilothouse(88'Sou'wester).Could you post some pics of your IN cabin rod stowage.I have my own system,but like to see what other folks are doing. THANKS!

I restored a 88' 2520 MV.Replaced tanks,floor,ect.Looks better than new.I repowered with a 250hp Yamaha 4 stroke 25" shaft.(notched transom also).Good Luck!!

"saltyfish" I live at the head of the Severn off of Willets creek.I grew up fishing the Mobjack and surrounding area.The Parkers you saw was not me, but quite a few around.This time of year I take advantage of the end of the Cobia run. We have caught several this year(largest being 75lbs.).Run...

Do trim tabs really make a Modifed Vee hull ride better in choppy conditions? I have an older 2520 with notched transom. The boat is bulletproof but, will beat the fillings out of your teeth if you try to run on top in any chop.Would love feedback from someone with similar setup.(Tabs...

You are correct,my 88'2520 is labeled as "Parker Sou'wester"

I also have an older Parker(88' 2520).My restoration consisted of the same thing you are going through now.I replaced the 2 aluminum fuel tanks with 1 large Moeler composit tank(stringer work had to be done anyway).I plumbed it to be fueled from either side of boat.It's amazing how well these...

Older Parkers don't have Aluminium frames,only rubber gaskets like a auto windshield.(I have a 88' 2520 Sou'wester)

I too own a 88' 2520 pilot house.I am the second owner.I have done quite a bit of work to the old girl.I have replaced the twin fuel tanks,(one 100gal.),new floor,paint,boot stripe,ect...! I repowered with a 250 Yamaha 4 stroke.Other than that the boat is all original.(still has the original...

Wow,I guess I have the only Parker in the whole lower bay!!!(A Sou'wester at that).Oh' well. I tried.

Contact Martin's Custom Structures in Gloucester Va.He built my hard top and the guy is top notch.

How about a get together in the York river? Got to be some Parker owners around here.

Tileman you are taking pics of my stomping grounds!!! I'm located in Gloucester Co. Hope to see ya at NewPoint this year.

What is the best way to get fuel stains off the side of my boat? When I topped off the tank ,the treated fuel(red stable) spilled out the vent. Tried everything to get the streak off.Any ideas?

Does anyone know what the first year Parker made the 2520? The Parker logo on my 88' is different than any I have seen on older ones.I can't figure out how to add pics yet.(Will put my son on it this weekend).

Hello fellas,I was told about this web sight by a friend.I thought I was the only one crazy about a Parker.I have a 88' 2520 MV.I would love to see some pics of other older (CLASSIC) Parker pilothouses.I find this site very cool.I'll try to get some pics on .
