I added the hatch. The old one started to leak and it’s the spot I stood to clean fish so it needed to be a little more rugged. I had a Kodiak bait tank that drained over the side so no plumbing below deck other than to the pump. I had so much stuff on that boat it made it easier having the...

This was from a 2820 I used to own.

You guys keep talking hulls. Depending on the boat often times it’s the bracket if there is one that determines the max hp rating. I had a 2820. The bracket was rated for 500 hp max. A buddy had a new 28 and the bracket was rated for 600 hp. When I looked to repower i looked at changing the...

I doubt the windows are going to be a deal breaker if you want this boat. Pretty easy to replace and not a significant cost relative to the overall cost of the boat. Replacing windows in my boat now. Timing might be the only annoying part. I was quoted 8 weeks out but have heard longer. This...

Might be worth taking a look at zip wakes if you’re looking for new tabs. Pricey compared to traditional tabs but have advantages.

Most boat yards have them. You probably only need 2 for an 18 footer. 2 at the stern and block the bow.

There was considerable sanding, fairing, and prep prior to painting but the boat was a working lobster boat and pretty beat up. I also had to remove spray rails, quarter guards and the rub rail. I glassed in the spray rails and that took a lot of time. I used all epoxy materials that take...

Sold my Parker last year but still lurk on the site. I painted the new boat after I bought it. The best paints are 2 part polys. I used epifanes. Similar to awlgrip. I would also consIder alexseal as it is repairable unlike many paints. The epifanes only required rolling. No tipping. It...

Tried multiple mounting spots. Under the pulpit was best. No glare. Rigid pods. Think they were DXL Pro Driving.

sorry it was “holding tank replacement”

Same thing happened on my 28. Had to remove the foam and tank. Stringers on both sides where wet too. The tank is held in with fiberglass angle pieces that are screwed into the stringers to hold the tank prior to pouring in the foam. No sealant or decoring where the screws go in. It was a...

Not sure if it an option but sometimes cutting a slot in the plug and using a heavy screw driver sideways gives a little extra leverage. Generally cutting the slot will create some heat that might help too.

Sold

Just sold my 28 and the guy buying it had it documented. Bank wouldn’t send me funds until the documentation went through.

If you have space 2 house batteries in parallel is an option too.

New power head is 10k. Just sold boat that had similar issue. I came to an agreement with the buyer and reduced the price. It mostly depends on the end price of the boat and the value from your perspective. If you think it’s a good deal regardless of a price reduction you have the option of...

Sold, sorry I didn’t see the last post.

QUOTE="sydngoose, post: 145798, member: 3225"] That was cheap. I thought so. Ready to focus on the new one. 38 NB with C-18 CAT. I loved the Parker. Sad to see it go.

Sale pending.
