Was watching the last season of "Arrested Development" and caught a glimpse of a 25' Parker named "Grace" -- anyone on the forums know this boat? -- Tom

Haven't really had time to even take a better look at this, but something obviously bad has happened to my trailer. This happened on the way to the boat ramp this afternoon - which is approx 3 miles from my house and in which time I never go > 35 mph. Anyone know what happened and what the...

Just a quick post to confirm the bit of research I did today -- it is not recommended to gelcoat over epoxy, correct? I'm sure that there are ways that it can be done, adding another filler/buffer layer of some sort, chemical or otherwise.. but just to keep it simple, lets ignore those options...

I am selling an ACR Aquafix PLB with on-board GPS receiver. It has 5W of output power and transmits on 406Mhz. It also sends out a SAR distress beacon on 121.5Mhz. The expiration date on the battery has gone by - but the unit still passes its self-test and is fully operational. A new battery...

Have yet another hurricane / tropical storm ruining the weekend's fishing, so thought I would put up a pic of a fish I got a couple of weeks ago.. my new personal best striper on the fly rod. Fish was taken at the mouth of the Merrimack River in Newburyport, MA - 45" long and approx 37...

Two nice flyrod fish from this morning.. so far this season you never know what kind of day its going to be waking up at o'dark thirty, it can be completely hit or miss.. You never know, unless you go! First fish was very chunky and 42" Second fish was a lean, mean 44" - one of my best on the...

There have been a lot of posts on the various forums after the tragedy in FL where several people drowned after their boat capsized while trying to retrieve a stuck anchor in heavy seas. Found this post on Florida Sportsman, curious if any of the guys here rig their anchors this way, or have...

Note: Since this is a completely re-done version of the CP user map, I have created a new sticky and locked the old thread to prevent confusion. Classic Parker User Map This is a fun way to see where ClassicParker users are located and what size boat they have. It uses the information in...

Not 100% sure, maybe one of you guys with cabins can verify, but this looks like a 25' Parker that is usually tied up to the dock in the lower right hand side of the picture? http://www.portsmouthnh.com/cam/index.cfm -- Tom

Do the newer Parker center consoles come standard with any vents in the console itself to help keep air circulating? There aren't any on my 1999 and thinking about installing something. -- Tom

Anyone have experience with the new Racor 2 Micron filters? After seeing a post on THT from a Racor employee, I emailed them for more information. I was sent the attached datasheet and told that the S3220SUL was a direct replacement for the S3213 filter I am currently using. In a subsequent...

I've spent the last couple of weekends getting the engine and fuel systems ready for the upcoming season. The next couple of weeks will be spent getting the rest of the boat cleaned up and ready to go. The engine is a 1999 Yamaha EFI. Fuel Lines I decided it might be a good idea to install...

By popular demand, here is a forum where you can discuss all aspects of marine electronics: choosing the right equipment, installation & rigging and how to get the most out of your gadgets! -- Tom

HI, It seems there is some interest in adding another forum for discussions on marine electronics. Our initial philosophy was to start off with a minimal set of forums and grow as required based on the number of posts/topics and participation levels from the members. The forum has certainly...
