Anyone got a leaning post with rocket launchers they want to sell?

I have a problem: I buy a boat, love it, then want to try something else. After 4 years I'm getting the itch again, so I'm putting my Parker up for sale. Here are the details: 1991 25' MVSC in excellent condition. I am the boat's third owner; the second owner hardly used it at all due to his...

I had a 29 Blackfin for a long time, and always liked the teak covering boards that ran around the cockpit. I was thinking of laying down a couple on each side of my 25 MVSC. Has anybody done that? (Dale? :D)

As one of the few guys on the site with an engine other than a Yammie, I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me how best to winterize my 2001 225 Optimax -- trying to save a little $, but really don't want to screw it up.. It's a little more involved than winterizing the Johnson 28 on...

If I turn hard at speed my motor cavitates like crazy -- to the point where I have to back off the throttle until the boat settles down. Apart from the safety factor it's just plain annoying. Boat is a 2520 MV; engine is already in the top holes so it can't go any lower -- it's a 225 Optimax...

Anybody know of a good trailer supply resource in the northeast? Thanks

The cable on my trailer winch is only a year old, but it's already got some areas that are crushed and a few frayed ends sticking out. I was thinking of replacing it with a strap. My boat is a 2520. Thoughts?

So after much procrastinating I finally bought a trailer for Ripple, our 2520 MVSC. A buddy was selling his 2007 Venture with carpeted bunks. Tow vehicle is a 2007 Land Rover LR3, which pulled the boat from CT to Cape Cod last week with no problem at all. The trailer has drum brakes which, while...

I'm looking for a 6-rod launcher to mount on the roof of my 2520. Anybody retrofitting and looking to sell their old Parker unit? Thanks.

I have a 1990 2520 in great shape. Power is a 2001 225 Optimax purchased new in 2003. About 250 hours on it now. Never an issue. Electronics are all new: Raymarine E80 with Radar and high performance thru-hull triducer, Icom M504 VH4, Icom M304, ACR Aquafix 406 GPS I/O EPIRB, Sirrius radio...

Here's a question for anyone with an older Parker: I have a 1990 2520. It's been stored at a yard here in town and what with the guys going on and off to do various things and my own almost constant attention the past few days (compounding and waxing everything above the waterline) the deck is...

My 1990 2520 is awesome in most respects. But since last season I've had a problem with rust stains (long drips, really) extending down from the rub rail screws. This is on the inside of course... Anybody else with an older Parker have this issue? The boat is still "on the hard" and I'm...

I've been wanting to buy a life raft for a long time but I've been putting it off... A buddy of mine had a VERY close call recently when he hit a submerged container on his way out to fish the Rose and Crown off Nantucket. He was cruising at about 35 knots, and it basically took the bottom foot...

The fuel tank in my '91 2520 is starting to shed crap as a result of the ethanol in the marine gas here in CT. I'm running a 225 Optimax which started to bog down at WOT, and my mechanics traced the problem to a clogged screen in the pick-up tube. They replaced the tube and all the lines, but...

I'm planning on getting a trailer for my 2520 Sport Cabin to use primarily between CT and Cape Cod. I know that you need to get a special form to tow an oversize boat, and I'm wondering if any of you have any experience doing this? For instance, if I take the boat from CT to the Cape would I...

The nearset Mercury service/dealer is now too much of a hassle, so I'm switching over to Evinrude or Yammie and offering my motor for sale. Details are: 2001 225 Salt Water Series Optimax bought new in 2003 150 hours Smartcraft Digital guages 25" shaft 3-blade Aluminum prop Excellent...

I don't use the Bimini my boat came with. It was new two years ago and was not used at all last season. Color is black. It's a pretty awkward shape, as you all can imagine, so will need to be picked up in CT. $300 or b/o.

I'm in the market for a trailer that can tow my 25 MVSC. I don't mind if it's old as long as the frame is still solid... North East only, please. Thanks.

I'm thinking of getting a trailer for my 2520, and I'm curious if any of you 25' owners have one. Ideally I'd like to find a used one. Any thoughts anybody? Thanks

I need to either paint my deck with a good non-skid this year, or do something really radical like lay a teak deck -- either real or phony. Do any of you guys out there have a teak deck? The cockpit on a 2520 is BIG, as you all know, but wouldn't pose a lot of challeges as far as curves and...
