    1800 owners... how fast is your ride?

    My 1997 Parker 1800 with a 115 Yamaha 2 stroke, carb version, full tank of fuel, myself and wife, bottom painted and a T-top, 35 GPS mph w/ 13x17 stainless prop at 5000 or so rpm. Flat water, no wind. Why would anyone go that fast? I cruise at 24 mph with full load. Good economy and handling.

I was wondering how much difference there may be between the two styles. I need to trailer the boat from PA...

    Hello Wild Bill, welcome to the board. I read your post about trailering your 23' Parker up and down the coast chasing fish. I am considering moving up to a 21 or 23 ' SE in the near future and was wondering what your tow vehicle may be. You said it was not a problem to trailer around. I have a...

    Chesapeake Parker owner checking in.

    Hello to our fellowship of Parker owners. I presently own an entry level Parker, a 1997 18' center console. I have a T-top installed and run a 2 stroke Yamaha 115 off her transom. The boat is just one nifty fishing machine for much of my shallow water river fishing. I take it out on the big bay...
