We had a 2008 2520 SLD with a 250HP Yamaha. This was a Deep Vee with the engine mounted on the transom. I believe the boat topped out at around 36 MPH when fully loaded. We typically ran heavy with lots of Scuba tanks, weight belts, ice, gas and crew. Our trips were runs to the Channel Island...

Teaching a new diver the finer tactics in hunting CA Halibut. It was great to be out on the water with beautiful weather and also spotting a few flatties. Cheers, Kadman

We run a pair of Yamaha 150's on a 2008 Parker 2520 XLD. Engines have 1,150 hours on them and were at 630 hours in 2016 when I bought the boat. We cruise here in So Cal running to the local Channel Islands at 25 to 28 MPH when conditions permit. This is with a heavy boat loaded with divers...

What is the gallon capacity of the old Parker bait tank? Cheers, Kadman

Hi Mike, Thank you for the great years of service to the Parker community. Nothing makes the deck of a Classic Parker look like better than a refresh on the coaming pads with new vinyl. I appreciate all the help you have given me over the years since I purchased my fist Parker in 2004. Enjoy...

Speared my first Dorado this summer off Southern California. Not my biggest fish but a respectable Dorado none the less. This was followed up by another nice one a week later. Cheers, Kadam

This is my 4th boat using Permatrims. Never an issue. Parker 2320 SLD with Yamaha 225, Parker 2520 SLD w/ Yamaha 250, Novurania DL 400 w/ Yamaha 50 and Parker 2520 XLD with twin Yamaha 150's. Cheers, Kadman

West Coast Marine is a very good Parker Dealer and their Yamaha mechanics are the best. Ask to talk to Kevin in sales as he is one who I believe came up with the sliding door design. I have seen it on a few of their Parkers in the past. It is a very cool addition and resembles the slider on the...

Paulr, Congrats on the new Parker 2520 XLD. You are going to love this boat here in So Cal. See you at Catalina. We have a similar setup. Cheers, Kadman

We love the Permatrim's on our 2520 XLD here in Southern California. They smooth out the ride in rough chop, especially when we head out in to on coming swells with moderate prevailing NW winds. See the attached photo of a rare glassy ride home from Catalina Island. Cheers, Kadman

What is the current Boat Show price for a 2520 XLD? Cheers, Kadman

Grandpa Ken, Congrats on your sale and the great boat your buyer has purchased. I bought a 2008 2520 XLD out of Sneads Ferry in 2016. The boat is Old School Fishing and was moved to Southern California. We shortened the name to Old School. Loved visiting Sneads Ferry. I met some really good...

Permatrim recently added to 2520 XLD made a huge difference. Already had trim tabs when I purchased the boat. Cheers, Joe

It sounds like you are in it for the long haul so the extra length and sea worthiness of a 2320 would be beneficial. That extra $ averaged out over 20 years will be negligible and since these boats hold their value you will be in good shape. I started with a 18Ft Robalo center console which was...

The Permatrims are awesome. My boat rides so much better with these installed on the Twin Yamaha 150's. They smooth out the ride, especially in the afternoon chop we experience here on the West coast. I highly recommend Permatrims for anyone with an outboard motor. Cheers, Kadman

We have Skeg guards that work really well. See the attached photo. The stainless steel guards have a little horizontal plate welded on the bottom. These have saved me on a few occasions. Cheers, Kadman

West Coast Marine is a very good dealership. The service department with Gonzalo and his staff are excellent. I have had 3 Parkers and a Novurania serviced by them over the past 13+ years. There are some new boats on the lot that I passed over the weekend. Not sure of their status. Good luck...

We are very happy with a Sun Shower for the 2520 XLD. In the winter the sun shower is put in a Yeti Hopper Soft Cooler. It stays hot for at least 12 hours and is a very welcomed amenity after night diving in Jan/Feb. We also have a 14 gallon water tank as well under the Port Side passenger seat...

Installed Permatrim's on my twin Yamaha 150's in January. They are better than advertised. A huge improvement in the ride and handling of our 2520XLD.

Having owned both a 2320 and 2520 there is a huge difference with the extra 12 inches of beam. Our first 2520 SLD had a 250HP Yamaha 4 stroke which was adequately powered for our use as divers. Our current 2520 XLD has twin 150's and this set up is perfect. Great combination of speed, ride and...
