Hi All, I've removed the flybridge off of my 1991 2520, it was mounted right to the roof, it has no controls never did, just fifteen rocket launchers, seat, backrest, and the forward fiberglass compartment. it also has the couplings for the cover/sunshade and brackets for downriggers. I'm...

Charlie, I'd like to see the washdown kit if you have time to post pics. Thanks! Scotty

Hi Gang! I have an older 2520(1991) and I'm looking to do a bit of a makeover. I need more inside seating, I currently have that old style passenger seat that fits one and a half sets of buns :lol: So, I'd like to upgrade, I'll miss the storage it has inside but I'll get over it :cry: I am...

Hey Mylo, I'm very interested in your seat, I don't have what you want for it except maybe cash, what are its dimentions? Scotty

From your local Parker dealer. I got a set about a year ago, don't remember how much, but I remember that they were very reasonable. Scotty

BUMP! common you Prop guru's I know I'm an odd bird w/ an I/O on my Parker, and I've even bastardized it even more by coupling my New 325 HP Mercruiser to an old Volvo 290 duoprop. Not too many people out there know much about the I/O versions eh? Scotty

Hello everyone! I just repowered w/ one of the Mercruiser 383 stroker smallblock motors directly from Mercruiser it is supposed to give me 325hp at the props! this should be fun! the old motor was a VP 260hp motor. I have the original drive(re-sealed and serviced) a 290 VP Duoprop w/ the...

Hi guys! I'm looking to buy a Parker bench seat for my 1991 2520, I have a family of four including myself, and only enough room for two and a half tushies :oops: including myself once again. I know I'll need to remove the stock 1.5 person seat in order to install but thats ok. I will miss the...

The parts should not run anymore than about $1,000 for new factory manifolds. You can do the installation yourself easily. Drain your old ones down, remove old parts, clean block of all rust , gasket material, and any leftover paint ,so that all of the surfaces are extremely clean, use factory...

I went to the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach CA. last night, and our local Parker dealer was there w/ four new Parkers! but I found myself spending all my time on the 2520xl The dealer built and unstalled a new starboard(matching color too!)sliding door on the cabin in place of the standard Parker...

Hi, If it is a Perko, you just need the number( stamped) on the cylinder of the locking mechanism, and fax them over a copy of your ownership docs. and they will send you two keys in the mail. I'm not real sure about the validity of their process but I followed it and recieved my keys in less...

Hi Guys, I have a 1991 2520DVSC and it has a teak wood cabin door and a teak bow pulpit, I love teak! but only on the interior and all my spearguns. I am in the process of removing both of them and replacing the door w/ 1" black plastic and I will probably use the pulpit for a mould to build...

Welcome aboard! Thats quite a project you've got planned, :shock: I can't wait to see your progress! Scotty

Hi John, Is there any possibility you could post some more pictures? I'd like to see the top, latches, and could you explain in more detail how you filled the underside of that hatch and what products you used. In case you haven't figured, my deck hatch leaks like a sieve! Thanks! Scotty

Have you guys tried Smith's penetrating epoxy? it is just a bit more viscous than water, and really soaks into porous wood. I use it on all my teak boat parts and teak spearguns, it is real good as a primer for any type of thicker finish like polyurithane or resin. Jamestown Distributors carries...

I would love to see some pictures of it! Scotty

CP Guys! I read the article in my boating magazine, it was pretty brief, they called it an Armstrong pod. Their theory was that the pod allowed the drive to get into more dense water aft of the stern created turbulance. Increasing efficiency, I have been researching the Yanmar powerplant for...

part II Okay, I checked the left over gelcoat in the mixing pot and oddly enough it dried hard and not tacky? the patches under the air tight clear tape was tacky? So, just in case it hadn't gone off yet, I hit each patch w/ the heat gun. It did not change anything, I tried keeping most of the...

Hey gang, I just finished patching all my gelcoat holes, nick, gouges, etc. after reading Mr. P. Chunkers techniques. I'ts kind of cold here now but I think they are going to come out real well! I can't wait till tomorrow to see how they turned out! next the sanding begins, Have I ever...
