1801 Parker Advice

1801 Parker 00’ 115HP Yam (Advice)
Hello wanted to introduce myself to the group as I hopefully will be a parker owner shortly however first I need some advice on the vessel I am considering. Vessel is a 00’ 1801 with a 00’ Yamaha 115 4 stroke; unknown hours (I’m in the process of finding s tech to plug into it) boat from pictures considering it hasn’t been cleaned and waxed to my standards looks damn good... Asking price is $10,250 with a single ax trailer in decent condition. Owner reports having all records and boat being a solid turn key rig. All thoughts and pointers greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

Go to the user control panel at the top of the page, and put your location in your user profile. Parkers are priced regionally, and someone might just show you a better deal.

These are great little boats. If it's suitable for what you plan to do, you will love it. I have a 2015 w a 115 Yamaha. Plenty of power for me. Jumps right up on plane. But I normally fish by myself.

Any ideas what this boat is truly worth? Mechanic gave all clear on outboard but claims prior to 03’ he can not pull hours.

A lot more than you think. Clean it up, wax it, check everything works, replace bilge pumps, check deck for soft spots, fix trailer, replace bearings and tires.

I assume your trying to say 1 of 2 things; more is wrong with it than I think? Or it’s worth more than I think?

if selling, it will be worth more if made up to date

 

[CaptCoreyJoseph]

Yes sir that’s my plan; not so much to sell it but to update it, enjoy it with my friends and family. On our larger boat I have 2 12” Garmins so that will be the first to be updated then the lean post. Has anyone identified a good prop for the 115? Changing props on our Suzuki’s made a world of a difference.

I.dont think engine hours is a big deal. Has compression and leak down tests been performed? A factory shop manual would be useful and Andy at Sim is very helpful and good prices on parts. I would check out motor thoroughly and deck for soft spots and transom for wetness and rot

Looks like a nice boat.
After a bit of clean-up and updating, she will be a great boat.

Those are sweet boats I had a 1999 for about 3 Years for a small boat they ride nice and are fairly dry. That one seems to be priced well also. Out of curiosity what did you end up getting it for?

 

[CaptCoreyJoseph]

$9150 said and done... so far it needs a VHF, float switch, fuel gauge is working but speed is not, tach appears to be shot and two new stereo speakers are needed.... I will be replacing the flaps on the transom as well just for piece

of mind.
