    2300 - Front seating middle piece question

    I screwed a half eye fixture into the bottom of the center piece toward the back end. Then a couple of matching fixtures onto the deck neat where the forward seating walls are. Then made a custom length shock cord with j-hooks to attach the center to the deck fixtures. Sort of an upside down...

    300 HP Suzuki too much engine for a 2008 2300 DV CC?

    I have the 2300 DVCC with a suzuki 250. The 300 was not available when I repowered or i would definitely have gone that direction!

    anti fatigue helm mat

    Sea Shocks. The best in my opinion. Fits perfectly between the console and the live well on a center console parker.

    21SE for Mass North Shore waters?

    Two points. First, Captmatt is absolutely right. Weather can change quickly and be pretty scary. Always better to be on dry land wishing you were out on the water than the other way around! As for Jeffries, we just go from MHD, but I have a 23 DV. That said, we often see smaller boats when...

    21SE for Mass North Shore waters?

    I have a 23 DVCC and fish exactly where you plan to fish. I am out of Marblehead. 95% of the time you will be absolutely fine with a mod hull. Lots of fishing options depending on wind direction and strength. The biggest advantage is that you don't have to run far for great fishing. we call...

    Hot off the press: New 26CC

    I like it. I don't think you can have a two piece construction with the kind of gun'l overhangs shown, so assume it is still three piece. My only concern is the lack of space behind the leaning post and the transom for fishing. Looks like less than on my 23DVCC. However, it is a move away...

    Leaning post rod tube inserts???

    I also went with the black. The white gets filthy and the black look really good!

    2011 Parker 23oo DV CC Value

    Mine are under the forward seat. Doesn't really take any critical space, and are as far forward as possible.

    2011 Parker 23oo DV CC Value

    I have posted this advice in several places...move your batteries to under the forward console seat. You'll be amazed at the difference.

    Getting bow down on 2300

    It always kill me how everyone automatically suggests bigger trim tabs, perma-trim, changing the engine mounting holes, etc. when BY FAR the biggest impact is from moving the batteries. Glad you did it.

    New 2022 Parker Boats; Improved? Or Not?

    Agree. Haven't had the opportunity to see the boat in person. Only on video, and even that wasn't terrific. I gotta say, though, that on video they look pretty slick, just not my style. Sad to hear that the quality is down as well.

    New 2022 Parker Boats; Improved? Or Not?

    What Cman said... My first reaction was that the space behind the console is too limited and chopped up. My buddies have Regulators and they love fishing on my 2300DV because of the room in the back and ease of access all the way around the boat. Solid transom with a platform is the way to...

    Is Livewell insulated on 23se?

    If the livewell is like on my 23DV, then no. In fact, in order to use it for any type of storage you need to be sure to shut the thru hull valve or it can fill with water just by running.

    Getting bow down on 2300

    J&W Marine, Salem, MA. They did not replace the switches, etc. Simply relocated the batteries from the stern of my 2300 to the forward part of my console. A later project was replacing the conventional battery switch with an isolator version.

    Getting bow down on 2300

    I had mine done a few years ago (batteries to console). Just looked at my old bill and it was just over $600 total. Made a WORLD of difference how the boat rides and keeps them out of harm's way. However, it looks like folks have had success with other methods as well.

    Console dashboard - winter project

    I have a 2000 2300 with the sliding plexi and glovebox. I thought about doing exactly this conversion a couple of years ago because the look was just so clean. However... I fish regularly with a couple guys who have Regulators with this flush mount set up, and when they fish with me they...

    2300 Center Console Stiff Steering

    I have a 2300 DV and have a Suzuki 250 with a three blade prop. I randomly had that happen to me this summer and determined the engine was trimmed down to the max and for whatever reason, that was binding up the steering. A little upward trim and it was fine. May not be the same for you.

    Drain plug stuck, help

    4200 is best choice. Use 5200 only if you’re SURE it’s never coming off again. That’s why we call it “52 billion”
