Are you talking about the truck spray on bed liner? • Do they make it in a white or off white color? • Soft to the touch? I thought its durability made it pretty rigid. Does it have the usual bed liner wrinkled finish?

How I cleaned the carpet / “Monkey Fur” on my 2005 Parker 2520xl. The carpet, like other 17 year old Parkers had a lot of issues. I decided I would try to restore it instead of removing and painting. I’ve made significant improvements, what some have called “IMPRRSSIVE!!!”, My Method: FIRST...

There was no tag with a reference to ID the seat. But if you screenshot the picture I sent and send it to Parker or a dealer I’m sure they can find it. Good luck, let me know if you find a supplier.

That’s what I want. I wont b able to use the bolster in the up position on the port side because there’s a build up of about 15” for a couple of drawers. But it’ll still make a comfortable seat.

Here’s the photo Incase it didn’t come thru. I’ll check for that tag.

I didn’t know they were were Bentley seats. A previous owner did the install not long before I made the purchase. I really like the the material, I think it’s vinyl but has a fine weave canvas texture to it. The material is very durable and cleans up well. I’ll look today at the bottom of the...

Pelagic This is what I have at my helm of my 05’ 2520xlSC. I love the ride. I’m looking for another, upholstered the same way, to put in the co-pilot position. However, because of the cabinet changes the new seat wouldn’t b on a seaspension post. That’s ok, these seats have extra thick padding...

You obviously have a passion for spending time on your Parker along with the skills to make this happen. Your boat is beautiful and obviously gets a lot of love. I own a 2520xl SC which I keep in Channel Islands Harbor (So Cal). Like most Parker owners Im always looking for better ideas. I’m...

To expand the hole if you’re replacing with PVC: • Chose the proper size hole saw for your PVC choice. • Using the hole saw make a plywood guide by drilling a piece of 1/2” or 3/4” plywood; preferably with a drill press to reduce any wobble. • Then clamp, brace, or screw the plywood in place...

Welcome Huber I believe you’ll find, as I did, there’s a lot of great folks with quality experience and information to offer. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Thanks for the response, and for the link. When you said “Don’t over think” I thought does he know me. Overthinking is what I do. I too have a 2520xl (2005). You seem to have found the perfect size (if it wasn’t altered). Just a few questions: • Do you recall the size? • Are those collapsible...

I’m looking to make a shade cover as a winter project. I like this example; simple, functional, and looks good. I’m wondering whether it’s a stock tarp or made to fit. If anyone has something similar I’d like to see and or hear about it.

So the question becomes; where is the water coming from that at is accumulating in the fuel tank bay. You now better understand why I created drain tubes on each side of the PVC as it exits the aft bulkhead of the fuel bay (see picture in my last post).

Here are some more tackle / storage ideas.ideas.

I plan (at some point) to paint paint my 2005’ 2520. I’ve always thought a dark green or blue looks good on the water. Your color choice looks great, I’ve never seen a Parker in that color. Did you do the paint or did you purchase it that way? Is it LP? Lastly if you have a picture of her out...

My Wet Foam Fix I had a bait tank drain hose split on my 2520xl resulting in gallons of salt water in the “fuel bay” (below deck area between bulkheads and gunwales where fuel tank lives). I used the same drying techniques as Blueghost93 and more. I added two scuppers as limber holes at the...

Here’s a picture. NOT MY BOAT, but I’ve been considering side bunks because I often load my 2520 alone. Pacific Trailers in California makes the parts in galvanized at reasonable prices. Problem is I have an aluminum trailer and need to adapt the galvanized to the “I-beam” aluminum. . Does...

WH I’m always interested in seeing pictures of your projects. As usual an excellent example of workmanship, innovation, and execution. Curious; how did you determine how much space was needed? Rope isn’t a typical measurement of volume. M

Thanks, the big red engines get a lot of attention. I haven’t had any problems I couldn’t solve with some help from the “Etec G2” group; great info there. I think my 2520 is pretty heavy given all the extra cabinets, drawers, fish cleaning & rod rigging station, all made of heavy StarBoard...

Is yours a deep “V” or Modified “V”. Most deep V’s (due to the deeper bilge) use a long narrow tank which would consume the compartment in question. I have attached a stringer drawing for the 2520xl. My main objective is to keep the bilge, batteries, and any wiring below deck as dry as...
