    Docking

    I have a 2520XL with a single engine. I keep it at a marina with floating docks. I know the Parker is sturdy enough to take slamming into the dock, but I am worried about damaging my neighbors boat. There must be a trick or a docking aid that will make docking easy, but I can't think of what...

    My first picture

    This is my first attempt at a picture on a post. This is my boat on the day it was delivered. It is a Parker 2520 in it's pure form... well, almost. It has a canvas cockpit cover added. Inside is the micro-mini kitchenette, and, luxury of all luxuries, a flushable head.

    Learning to use the Forum

    I need to send the message to see if the avatar shows. While I'm here, I have read several comments about spilling wine on the Grady and fish guts on the Parker. I have to confess, after a day of (unsucessful) fishing, my wife and I like to anchor in a quiet spot, split a bottle of wine...

    Checkin' in

    Thanks to the people who created this site. I have a 2520XL that I keep on Frog Mortar Creek off Middle River, Maryland. Are there any other Parker owners in the area? I like to fish, but often I park the boat and sit on the deck just to watch the sun come up and go down on the bay. I...
