    New Parker 2520XLD from Boats Inc. Niantic, CT

    John, I'm still trying to figure her out. I can tell you that at around 5800 rpms, her top end is about 39 mPh. I did come back from the Clinton wall on Saturday around 2pm through some serious crap and she rode like a tank . I just buried the bow with the oversize trim tabs and slowed her down...

    Looking for performance stats for F300 on 2520xl

    I had the specs but cant seem to find them in my old emails. I purchased a 2520xld and should be receiving it next week. I also went with the single F300 and per, Eric at Parker that motor will have no problem pushing that boat out of the hole which is a bigger concern with the deep v. you'll...

    Lee Wishbones on a 2520XLD with West Coast Bow Rail ?

    Does anyone have Lee wishbones installed on a 2520 XLD with the West Coast bow rail? Wondering if there would be a problem with them clearing the rail when deployed because of the added height of the rail.

    Best Livewell/Baitwell for a Parker ?

    To all you guys, Great looking live wells and good sound advice. I also use my live well now to bleed my fish usually on my way in while they are still alive. on my lund, my live well is in the stern so I just run my live well pump and usually by the time i get in the fish have all bled out and...

    Best Livewell/Baitwell for a Parker ?

    If it works who can argue, I have the same type system in my garage over the winter for big pond shiners I use ice fishing for pike. they stay for weeks because its forty degrees in my garage. I just do a water change once a week..

    Best Livewell/Baitwell for a Parker ?

    I agree, I dont think the depth or the shape would be good for bait and it would be tough to net them also.

    Best Livewell/Baitwell for a Parker ?

    Thanks for all the input. I'll be ordering a 2520XLD in the next couple of weeks and was considering having Parker install their live well. now I believe the best way to do it is to have a portable live well like the UT29 described above. get a separate live well pump installed and be able to...

    Ordering a new 2520xl and still undecided, Deep or Modified?

    Great stuff, In the words of Bob Dylan, " You give something up for everything you gain. Every ounce of pleasure got a drop of pain. Pay for your ticket and don't complain." Here are some things I've learned about the 2520: 1. The Deep V is better running across...

    Ordering a new 2520xl and still undecided, Deep or Modified?

    Great information, I believe I may be starting to lean towards the deep v. it sounds like the drift isnt much different. Bryan, How much do you want for your boat ?

    Ordering a new 2520xl and still undecided, Deep or Modified?

    I know this is a dead horse and have read every post on this site and fifty other sites but I am still not 100 percent decided on which hull would be best for me. I fish Long Island sound primarily for fluke. although with a bigger boat I'm sure I will explore striper fishing more. I would like...

    How many 2520's models are there, which one is best ?

    Kevin, Thanks for your help, I found a great thread that you guys posted, I believe it was back in June. V vs Mv and the difference in the deadrise. I think for my use either would work out and it may end up depending on the deal I can get on one. I'm not in a rush and just want to...

    How many 2520's models are there, which one is best ?

    Capt, Kevin. Great information, thank you. I believe I will go with the standard pilot house appose to the xl or 30 and have more room for the fisherman. I take it one hull may be a better riding hull and one may be better for drifting. I do allot of fluking now which is one of...
