1986 Sou'Wester 18

[Washingtonskinnies]

After years of searching for a reasonably priced Parker, I finally found a little gem.

Here is a new-to-me Parker Sou'wester 18 from 1986. Mercury 90hp 4stroke on the rear from 2005.

Couple notes:
- Hull is fairly solid, but will require floor/stringer repair in the future. Starting to get spongy around the console/helm area.
- Motor runs excellent. Not a saltwater version, but not sure the differences anyway. Can't get much clarification.
- No in-hull fuel tank, which is also no in-hull fuel tank to fail/leak. On an 18, I'm not sending it 30 miles into the Atlantic anyway.
- Roller trailer in good shape.

First steps have already begun:
- Batteries and fuel tanks moved to console area.
- Wiring redone - already removed a ton of old harnesses and nonsense.
- Repair screw holes in hull and transom.
- Clean up console (there are holes all over it)
- Shurhold BuffMagic the hull. We'll see how much that gelcoat comes back!

Not much info on the older hulls, so any would be great. It looks to be very similar to the early 1800 models. Love the old logo!

After the hull washed and stains removed.

Awesome. On my list, to have that logo sewn on a shirt.
