Does anyone know where I can find a replacement springlift for the hatch cover over the bunk area of a pilot house. It is 5.25 to 7.5 open. I am in the Florida Keys and there is no parker dealer down here. Thanks for any help.

Miss Mattie, I live in Marathon and of course am partial to that area. We have much to offer and many areas to fish regardless of the wind. Most of the charters have bigger boats so you can fish most days. Recommended are: In Marathon: Capt. Pips marina and boat rental. Ask for John ( capt...

Capt Keith, not to worry this was not a crash. The boat sank while being towed form the Dr Tortugas to Key West. The company is having more troubles though. Yesterday their other plane hit a buoy on takeoff and had to return to Fort Jefferson and five people were stranded at the Fort overnight...

I live in the Florida Keys(Marathon) and have a 2520xl. After owing two center consoles, I too was concerned about the heat. Both of my windows open and provide as much air as I need when moving. As mentioned by others the pilot house provides an escape form the heat and on many days it feels...

Saw this picture in the Key West Paper today and thought it would be interesting . The seaplane apparently sank after the photo.There are many Parkers in the Keys, but most of us are just fishing. delidon

Miami is the best show on the East Coast. With several different venues it could take several days. Besides its on Miami Beach and with South Beach, where else could you find more fun in the winter. Make a trip of it and enjoy our wonderful Florida Keys while you are here.

to throw another comment into the ring---I purchased the S1000 in Feb of this year and installed it myself on my 2520xl. Installation took several hours and a few bruised knuckles but all went well. The unit functions very well and I have used it without any problems. I am in the Florida Keys...

Just returned to Pa from our home in Marathon. The fishing was great, the water calm, except for the great water spouts on Sunday. See Attached. Our catch included yellow tail, mangroves,grouper and of course dolphin my favorite. Our largest was 24 lbs with several others in the 20 lb range. The...

Here are a few shots of my boat "Connie Jane" in the Florida Keys. These are the first shots of her on the move. The pictures were taken from the upper deck of a 58 Hatteras. This was at the end of a fishing day. Drove her 92 miles to about 2000 feet and came home with dolphin and tuna.

my neighbor just brought me this picture of my boat"Connie Jane" in winter storage. This is in the Florida Keys and thought you guys back up north might like to see how rough it is down here. We just had a cold front and the temperature is down in the sixties. Been a Parker owner for almost two...

To Newbie...I have a 2520XL with a 225 . IMO this is enough motor for my desires. If I wanted to go faster I would have considered another boat. The Parker 2520XL is the finest fishing machine for my money. I fish in the Florida Keys, both inshore and out to about 30 miles. On higher sea days...

Paul, i purchased a used 04 2520xl in 2005. Used the boat all winter in the Florida Keys. After having center consoles for the last 10 years, the boat outperforms and gives lots of extras over the cc,s. I prefer the xl because the transom is closed and mine is fitted with large fish box. The...

I have a 2520 xl (2004) with a 225 yahama 4 stroke. Does anyone have any performance data on that boat with the 225. I have checked the yahama site to no avail. Have fished the boat all winter in the florida Keys and it is the best boat I have ever had. I am just trying to get max performance at...
