Wow I looked at when my last post was and could not believe it had been 5 years. During that time I have used the Parker each season with few issues. Most of my time has been taken doing a frame off restoration mod on my 65 Pick up. This year the Parker is letting me know she has been neglected...

Well as some of us have found out the cabin floor can be quite slippery when feet are wet and you are in a hurry. Since buying my 2520MV I have been considering solutions. I have rejected some because they were too expensive, some because I did not think they would wear well and some because I...

Well here we are in project season again and I find myself trying to remember the things I swore I would fix in the off season. After deep thought I remembered I have an occasional short somewhere in the engine trim system. When I got down to troubleshooting I discovered the three trim wires in...

Just replaced the original cable system with hydraulic. Old system with just over 200 hours since new (1997) is for sale. Items include helm (minus steering wheel), cable (25-26 feet?) and hardware that was used to connect to a 1997 200HP Mercury. Pictures on request. Asking $100 OBO plus...

The boat seems to have a manual steering system and I am thinking of upgrading to hydraulic. Anyone have comments or expierence with the upgrades? Looks pretty easy but I...

After looking at many Grady Whites I ran across this Parker 1997, 2520 with notched transom, that seemed to fit the need with few compromises. And the price was right. In addition to a 200 Merc it has a 9.9 Yamaha kicker with an interesting steering and control arrangement. The one item of...
