Well I'm sharing some pics of my AC install. My Parker needs to be a multi purpose boat. Part overnighter, fishing boat and family day boat out at the islands/Cape. I met a guy from Coastal Canvas, who makes the Bimini tops, coaming pads etc for the Parker plant, last weekend to measure for a custom Bimini for my boat. The plan is to have it 6'4" high (just a little higher than the rocket launcher) and 48" long. This will put it about 2' short of the front edge of the jump seats. It will have 2 solid hold down struts at the stern and 2 solid short ones at the front (cabin side) attached to the rocket launcher. These will be in from the corners about 1' and attach to the launcher between tube 1 & 2 on each side. All struts will have quick disconnects so that it can be stowed in the up position but not rubbing on the launcher while still booted and rigid. I'll post pics when installed in about 5 weeks or so. I know the AC is a total rig job but I thought it was worth a try. It's much cheaper than a marine system. 9000 btu AC & 8500 btu heat. I still need to cushion it and secure it before I hook up the vent tube but you can get the idea. For this year I'm just using a poor man shore power hook up with a power strip cord run to where the wiring harness runs out of the gunnel rod holder area and plugged into an extension cord with a 30A adapter at dock.
