I was one of the owners of a 2520xl with the 225hp from factory. 2005 model. Yes it had 1100 hrs on it when replaced with no corrosion issues after 18 years. It was definitely underpowered with more than 2 people or over half tank of fuel. My neighbor has a 2007, same model with the 250...

Boykin Spaniels and Parker’s…. What could be better???

Navionics and Lowrance

Hello. I am Almost to my 20 hour break in service. Followed manual and master Yamaha mechanic who installed the engine, instructions for this maintenance interval. It has been without issue since I picked it up. I will add that the stock f225 was very weak for this boat. While it had acceptable...

I don’t want to change the subject but thought this may be a good place to report on my 2520 SCXL with new F300 performance numbers. Are you interested for comparison? Thanks

As a follow up to my new repowering with a 2022 F300 on my 2520SCXL, with 8 hours on the engine, which is still in break up limitations, I am posting my current rpm/ speed statistics which will be close to what I expected them to be.

Ahh thank you for the clarification on the grainy picture.

By the way, that was a crystal clear picture I submitted. Not sure why a lot of Classic Parker photos appear this way…..

Believe it or not, the second station start/stop button was last item to come in to finish the job. What a chore….

Thank you sir. I value all legitimate opinions and appreciate your other responses on Classic Parker.

My response was not meant to be thought provoking or argumentative in nature. However since everyone’s scenario is different, a broad based assumption about our setup and boat mooring(trailer, in marina slip or at home at your own pier on a lift) has not been entered into your equation and...

Mpellet, you explanation about a traditional 2 bank battery switch echos in my mind everytime I see a switch discussion. While my routine is only slightly different, it is basically the same. I am Just now replacing my two batteries installed in 2015 on my 2520. Prior to that the Deka batteries...

That’s ok, I have 3 local fellows who are barking over it. Thanks for looking.

This is a good running engine. I am repowering to a Yamaha 300 in the next few weeks when the dealer gets caught up in his shop. The motor was driven to the dealer 20 miles away and I have posted pictures of that trip as evidence of it seaworthiness. It is also listed on Facebook Marketplace...
