The new Parker management has revamped the deep vee center consoles. I know there have been many opinions that have varied from "awesome" to "hate it". I'm not a center console owner so I'm not as qualified as others to give my opinion. But I am the owner of a 2016 parker 2320 (that is currently...

I’m planning a upgrade in the next 2 years. The parker website says the max HP for a 2520 is 500. I’ve saw first hand a older 2520 in San Diego with twin 250s. Online I saw a 2520 with twin 300s. This boat was highly custom. The 2520 is only 800 pounds less then the 2820, but it’s basicly...

I’ve been pondering what my next boat will be. Because I live in the North West my go-to is always a pilot house boat. However, back in 2019 I got to fish on a BAMF 30’ fish around. It’s a beautiful thing to fish on this style of boat. 8 guys could easily spread out and fish comfortably. Way...

Having been in the Parker family since 2016. I feel like I’ve learned a few things about the company, boats, the Parker family and the new management. Even the workers and engineers. I’ve been very impressed with the fiberglass work, and the strength of the boat. While there is no such thing as...

From time to time, I ponder on what the future holds for boating or offshore fishing. With fuel prices outrageously high and reportedly going to get worse. Boats are still fetching a premium price. Lots of buyers have reported long waiting times for boats and builders are claiming supply chain...

Probably a dumb question to some of you. I use a dewalt soft start 7”/9” buffer. Which pad would you recommend for applying wax with my dewalt? I’ve been using the 3m wax and applying the wax by hand with an applicator.

Just picked up 2 scoops of live anchovies. 60 miles to the tuna grounds.

I was outside watering my fruit trees. When I came back inside I saw 2 each Parker’s on Nat Geo. Boat 1 looked like a 23’ with twins mercury 150s and a aftermarket gunnel door. Boat 2 was 25’ Parker.

Hey All! Over the past few years I’ve been pondering this project. Essentially I’d pay a glass guy to cut the pilot house off below the windows. Then raise it up, level it, and re glass it. I thought 2-4 extra inches would improve the head room and make it a little more spacious. Anyone on...

I bought it off Amazon. When I opened the box I was amazed to see it was made in the USA!

Does anyone know of a window wiper delay I could add to my 2320? I typically just use rain x on my forward window. But sometimes when it’s nasty and the wind is blowing I like to run my wipers. But I only want them to run every 5 seconds or so.

While my 2320 have many desirable attributes for an offshore boat and a few things I would like to change (no boat is perfect). I can honestly say I’m most impressed with how strong and solid my boat feels. I have a couple friends with the competitors brand and they say the same thing. My buddy...

Yesterday I did a offshore fishing trip. While drifting and fishing we noticed more than usual exhaust coming from my Yamaha F300. The color was the same and no unusual smells or oders. Engine temp and oil pressure was normal. And the engine preformed as expected. Just the amount of exhaust...

This is a 2016 2320. So obviously the staining is very premature IMO. I keep my boat stored in a shop during the winters. Per Parker’s website it’s reportedly 316 stainless steel. I work in Naval ship repair, so I’ve seen stainless steel be problematic but typically 316 is good unless it’s low...

Hi All. I have 3 holes from a transducer I recently removed. Sounds like Polyester is the material to use because gel coat will stick to it. Can someone recommend a polyester resin and gel coat kit? My gel coat color is the new white. Thanks for the help. AK

Hey gang! First off let me say I think or know Parker builds a solid boat. I’m happy with my 2016 2320 and Yamaha 300 combo. I run mine mostly offshore May-September in the Pacific Northwest Im curious with the new ownership if any major changes have been had or any changes in the future. I...

Curious on the opinion on this site. 5200 or 4200? I like 5200 below the water line, but I have read on hull truth some people are recommending 4200 for thru hull transducers. I'm drilling holes next weekend! Thanks all!

So I discovered this week my registration numbers I had made about 2 months ago are not correct. The place I had make them forgot a number (my fault for not double checking them before I installed them). Can I use "goof off" without damaging the gel coat finish? If not any suggestions on how...

I got a trip planned for off shore bottom fishing. The distance one way is about 30-40 miles. By my calculations I should be able to make the trip and have enough fuel to fish for 4-6 hours and make it back to the port without any problems. This will be my first long trip in my new boat and...

OK, time has come. I'm about 1 week out from ordering marine radar package and a kicker for my new 2320. I've decided on the Garmin 18XHD that will combo with my already installed Garmin 1040XS. Does anybody have any tips on which Radar mount to buy? I've been reading that 4 degrees tilt...
