White looks great! Especially if you go with the sea foam

Looks great!

That set of plans shows both configurations. For the 60 and 40 gallon.

Got some of the hardware on the boat, as well as the pilothouse. Waiting on some electrical and lighting to show up in the mail. Anyone know of a good place to source used motors on the west coast? My old contact seems to have retired. Looking at the new Suzuki 140 but they want you to bust out...

It’s been slow going with work and everything in between, but here we are. We’ve finally got around to slapping some lipstick on this pig. We put down a coat of hibuild primer blocked it down and layed down another coat of hi build then came back and sprayed three coats of Proline Bulwark blue...

I respectfully disagree with this, you won’t be enclosed in a cabin like traditional Parker cabins. There will be sufficient airflow. Consider it like standing under a t-top.

All i can say is, seal seal seal anywhere you drill a hole or cut a window out. Ideally with epoxy. Plywood cores in my experience always tend to get water intrusion which leads to expansion of the wood, and soft spots. Nidacore as warthog mentioned would be my choice of core material. 25 years...

Yeah, and my 1800 just has the wire chase . Mine is a 94’ and parker still took custom orders back then. Whoever purchased the boat then opted for more deck space over storage. Your 1700 looks great! are the battery’s in the rear box or in the console? Everyone always moves them up to the...

Yes great advice, the torn edges of chopped mat laminate better than a scissor cut line.

Bummer, i’m on the west coast in So cal. Thank you.

Hey Bill, Do you still have this bow rail available? I’d like to buy it. I’m in socal also

Is that still available? and where are you located?

I’d say you should be thankful. Covid really changed the price of boats. I’m building one right now, feel free to check out my post. Just in parts, glass and resin; i’m over 7k (not including the hull. mind you some of the work hasn’t yet been posted, and i’ve yet to get a motor which is minimum...

still available ?

Update on the 1800. Laid up the mold for the dash for the pilothouse and got it all finished up for the most part other than some trimming for fitment. Got a roof glassed on it, but still working on some shaping before paint. Test fit the dash, it was way too tight in the photo, i’ve got to trim...

That would be awesome to see some pictures of yours sitting in the water. Im in the middle of rebuilding my project 1800. Had to cut a few soft spots out of the deck, and put in a new tank. Now we’ve re glassed everything it’s almost time for paint and a new motor. I have been thinking about...

I’m just curious as to how that 1801 sits in the water with a four stroke 200 yamaha on the back of it. maybe they added some foam in the rear to help compensate for the extra weight? what do you guys think? anyone on here have a 1801 with a 200?

The pilothouse is from Pacific Pilot House. My dad Don is the one who designed their original molds around 20 years ago and basically built that company from the ground up. i’ve attached a picture of a parker he did in the past. I wonder if he’s a member of CP?

Has anyone put a pilot house on a center console parker? I’m thinking of going this route instead of a t-top.

I do have small boxes in the rear , you can see in the original post. So that’s where I wanted to put the outlet, but man it’s tight getting hands down in there to get the level low enough to be below the bottom of the livewell. Maybe I can make it work though. Is this how yours is plumbed?
