    2008. 2820 for sale

    In any market but this one that is a give away price. Beautifull boat. I have followed several boats on the market that I severely lust after drop in price to a level that I could have afforded LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suspect many others are in the same position. Also even if they can sell their...

    2120sc - launch and recover alone?

    Absolutely yes, particularly if you can move quickly with cash in hand or a pre-approved loan. Many sellers are now desperate. Moving quickly and hard negotiating will get the best deal but under no circumstances go ahead without a survey unless you are qualified to do one yourself. Sea trial...

    2120sc - launch and recover alone?

    I strongly agree with the 2120 over the 18', particularly with a 6 year old. Launch and retrieve will not be an issue. Be patient. It is like a candy store out there for buyers right now. With the season winding down you will undoubtably find a 2120 rigged the way you want. Don't compromise on...

    Bottom Paint Question

    Looked at my bottom paint today when I droped off my 2120 for engine service. This boat is kept in the water year round because I use it more that way. Looks like it is just about time for new paint at about 2 years. In retrospect not a terrible paint job but also not first class. Simple...

    Survey Prior to Purchase ?

    Unless the boat has very low hours and you personally know the boats history a survey is absolutely essential. A few of the most seasoned parker owners might be able to do thier own survey but unless you fall into that group get one!!!!! Mike B

    value used 2005 2120

    If that boat is set up the way you want, and it sounds like it is, that is a very very good price. I have a 2120 with similar setup year 2004 and the asking price makes me feel sick for how low it is. The add ons would cost you at least $10,000. Figure 35,000 as a good price for the 2120 with...

    Cooler location on 2120?

    THE BEST SOLUTION I HAVE FOUND FOR MY 2120 IS A KILL BAG. PLACED PORT OR STARBOARD ON DECK. IT KEEPS THE FISH COLD BETTER THAN A COOLER, HOLDS AS MUCH AS MY BOAT CAN HANDLE AND DOESN'T SEEM TO GET IN THE WAY LIKE A COOLER. I PUT ON A MINITOWER/COOLER INSPIRED BY PLATAPUSS. IT IS GOOD FOR...

    2520 sld vs 2520 xld

    Thanks Megabyte, I was not specific enough with my question. I am familiar with the differences on paper and have had the opportunity to fish the XLD. Never have had a chance to fish or ride in the SLD 2520. If the SLD has very similar seakeeping and ride characteristics to the XLD it might...

    BOW PULPIT

    GETTING STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, WITH THE COST OF SLIP SPACE IN MANY AREAS OF THE USA DOES THE PULPIT PROVIDE ENOUGH FUNCTION TO JUSTIFY A LONGER MORE EXPENSIVE SLIP? WHAT MAJOR ADVANTAGE DOES IT HAVE OVER A SHORT LESS BULKY BOW ROLLER OTHER THAN MUCH BETTER LOOKS? THANKS, MIKE B

    BOW RAIL

    Measured the rail again this morning. It is a 2004 2120 with standard east coast rail 1" in diameter. Glad I got off my lazy #$^ before commiting to an unfortunate purchase. Never does pay to be lazy or hasty even in the face of a bargain does it? Anyway thanks all for the help. Mike B

    BOW RAIL

    I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET 4 USED ROD HOLDERS THAT ARE FOR 1.25" PIPE AT A GOOD PRICE. I HAVE MEASURED THE RAIL AS 1.25" IN THE PAST BUT WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK WITHOUT HAVING TO DRIVE DOWN TO THE BOAT . PRETTY LAZY HUH!!!!. ON SECOND THOUGHT WILL DO A DOUBLE CHECK TOMMOROW BEFORE...

    Kicker for a 2120

    My Boat is a 2004 with the usual F150 Yamaha. Would really like a kicker for both an emergency backup and trolling.How much work is involved to set up a kicker motor on a 2120? If anyone has done it on the 2120 is it worth it? Mike B

    Marine Head

    My Parker 2120 is my first boat. I was sure that a full head was going to be needed when I started this thread. Four months later I have no desire for a full head anymore. For those rare emergencies a bucket. Otherwise over the side. I still take the porta potty along in case of female...

    Nylon vs Polypropylene rope???

    I need to replace my mooring lines. My boat is dry stored so the lines get relatively light use. How do nylon and polypro stack up against eachother for ease of use, durability etc?? MB
