    Has anyone added an aftermarket t-top?

    Thanks, all, for the feedback.. Problem is the custom fabrication stuff is way more than a few hundred dollars more. I have talked to two shops that called me back. One starts at $7,000 and the other at $8000. Just a hard top and frame, no accessories or rocket launchers. Hoping to find...

    Has anyone added an aftermarket t-top?

    Hello, I am looking to put a t-top on my 21' DV Center Console. I had one all picked out and it looks like the company went out of business. Has anyone here had one made locally (MA/NH area) or purchased one and installed? Thanks in advance for any feedback. Pic off boat to be installed on.

    Scuba tank storage

    I have a 2520 and use the roll control system. Unfortunately I dont have any pictures... I mounted the rails along the gunnels, starting 6 inches from the pilothouse, running 4' to the rear. Each side holds four tanks and very secure. Weight balance is also very good. I am very happy with this...

    2120 SC SPRING PROJECTS - AC and Bimini

    Good point... Even though the mounting may be different I can tell you that having the bimini, with those rough dimensions, works out very well with family. You can relax out of the sun, but still step behind it to cast. It has been a lifesaver on a hot day! I am sure you will be glad you did it.

    2120 SC SPRING PROJECTS - AC and Bimini

    I did the same basic thing for a bimini on my 2520 about ten years ago. The location, height, distance from the seats, etc. is virtually identical to your plan. I bought the bimini complete with poles and it was the correct size, off ebay. When not in use I collapse it, put the boot around it...

    RePowering 1989 Sou'Wester

    mrGeeze, For what it is worth, I have the same hull and model year as you do. I have a Mariner Optimax 200 (98') and it is plenty of power. I cruise at 28mph, 4200 rpms, and it is very efficient. I regulary run 30 - 40 miles round trip on 1/2 tank gas. I cannot comment on a newer 4 stroke, but...

    1989 Parker 23 Walkaround questions

    I have had no problems (knocking on wood) with fuel tank or stringers. She was mildly abused by previous owner and stood up well. I have had for 5 years. I agree to get someone to look it over and then go for it. If it is as good as it looks the price is a steal! Jon

    150hp on a 25MV Parker Pilothouse?

    Mine is a 200hp mariner OptiMax and it gets up on plane with 6 divers, 3 tanks each, and crusies at 28mph with all that load. Performace is very good. It is a MV, notched transom. If I repower I would go with a 225 or 250 just because I can. But, with my deadrise I rarely get to go near max...

    MV vs. DV For Offshore

    I run off shore (@20 miles) year round and of course I pick my day. I have been out in the slop and even had many days with water hitting the windshield. My MV got me there and back just fine. While running in really rough seas I would like to hit the DV button and convert it but it is not a big...
