    wtb 25ft parker pilot house

    Might be your lucky day. I have a 2001 2520 Sport Cabin I just decided to put up for sale in Flagler Beach Florida. That's about halfway between Daytona and St. Augustine. Call me at 386-302-7404 or E-Mail at [email protected] and I'll tell you all about it. Very clean, only 240 hours on it...

    '01 2520SCMV For Sale, Low hours.

    As much as I love my dream boat, I have decided to sell my Parker and get a flats boat I will use more here in Flagler Beach Florida. It is a 2001 SC with only about 230 total hours with a super efficient MV hull powered by a Volvo 5.7 Duo-Prop out-drive (Bulletproof Fuel-Injected 350 Chevy)...

    2520 dv or mv

    As a 2520SC Mod-V owner ("01) I have to say it's a tough call. The MV does pound in any sea at all. Mine maybe more than others with the Volvo 5.7 (350 Chevy) and Duo-Prop outdrive hanging all that weight off the back. And the pilothouse helm being further foreward than the center consoles...

    Raymarine Dragonfly feedback please.

    Hey Guys, I posted this on the Electronics Board a few days ago and got no response. It's decision time as I'm going out to the Shelf next week off St. Augustine and I want to put a new sonar on before then. So I hope you don't mind me re-posting it here to reach a wider audience. Any...

    Help me decide, electronics upgrade

    My post above inquires about the new Dragonfly CHIRP Sonar/GPS system. If it proves to be a winner, I plan on getting one, but if you want to sell your Fuorono eqiopment, I might be interested.

    Anybody get a Dragonfly yet?

    I have heard all the hype and initial reviews. Raymarine was supposed to start shipping them a couple of weeks ago, anybody have any real-world experience to share? Looks very interesting and more than reasonably priced, but I've been burned before.. Would appreciate any input as I need to...

    Decal Kit fror 2520 SC

    I tried to get help with ordering a new set of decals for my otherwise perfect 2001 2520SCMV w/ 5.7 Volvo DuoProp propulsion from my local dealer but have not gotten a response. Anybody know where I can get a set of decals and stripes? :?:

    Polishing Faded Gold Rocket Launcher

    Posted this somewhere else, but It relates to you question: I have learned about the difference of the different Parker hulls somewhat inadvertently, so I don't have to defend my choice in order to defend my boat knowledge studleyness, so let me give you what I learned for the tuition I paid...

    Which 2520 for the West Coast of Florida?

    I have learned about the difference of the different Parker hulls somewhat inadvertently, so I don't have to defend my choice in order to defend my boat knowledge studleyness, so let me give you what I learned for the tuition I paid. I ran across a rather well off individual I had done some...

    Manifold and risers replace?

    I have a 2001 2520 MV with a 5.7 Volvo/Penta DuoProp. The manifolds and risers were original when I bought it about a year ago. Even though it only had 152 hours and had sat on a lift in a boat house, you could break off pieces of the cast iron just with your fingers! They were plugged solid...

    OK, figured it out. If you want to see pictures of my baby, go a few posts back to the 2520 Volvo DP post and they should be there now. Will post more detailed ones of the mechanicals, interior and panel tomorrow. Thanks.

    2001 2520MV Sport Cabin, 5.7 Volvo DP I/O. 200 Total Hours!

    Hate to do it, but moved 35 miles from inlet, much of it Manatee zones! Just can't get offshore like the boat deserves. My beautiful Parker 2520 has about 200 hours, 2/3rds of that warming up twice a week or sunset cruises on the ICW. The boat spent all but the last year or so on a lift in a...

    Broadband Radar advice please

    I am ready to upgrade the original Raymarine radar and combo GPS/Sounder system on my 2001 2520. I am impressed with both the performance and price of the Garmin 740s unit, but I'm unsure about what to do with the radar. Friends of mine tell me don't even consider anything but the new...

    Found pin hole :(

    In this months BoatUS web Magazine they have an excellent article about fuel hoses made in Malaysia and other places that state they meet the appropriate standards when they don't. Can cause serious problems as they tend to start to deteriorate immediately, especially when exposed to ethanol...

    rv type airconditioner units

    My hat is off to the Freon Kings. Yea, trailering you need air cooling. I had a similar rig on my '85 ChrisCraft Cuddy for family vacations. Worked great

    rv type airconditioner units

    Being in the A/C business on Florida's East coast I have some experience at this. The Coleman type units will last less than five years on the beach. On a boat probably less. There is a product called Coil Guard that comes in an aerosol can for about $20 at most A/C distributors and some...
