I'll be there on Friday afternoon and evening before I head over to the Tun Tavern to ponder the purchase of the 34' :lol:

I was at the AC show yesterday. I climbed on the 34' er. Very very nice and expensive, but I believe Parker did a pretty good job on the design.

How was the show overall? Where there a lot less boats?

I agree on the 34 Parker. I think it is laid out nicely!

 

[John_Madison CT]

Yes, less boats and less vendors. Granted I was there on opening day, Wed early afternoon, but there wasn't much traffice either.

My dad, my wife and I are heading over tomorrow afternoon, I'm mainly going to just drool on the 3420. I'll wear my parker hat maybe they'll be so appreciative I'll get some free stuff.

I just got back from spending about 3 hours at the show.Alot less boats there this year.Many exhibits spread out more an plenty of room left in the corners.Seems like more jet-ski dealers on hand than ever before.
Was on the 34,very nice boat,but way out of my league,esp at a 305 K sticker price.
I did like that flooring in the cabin,I wonder where I can get that to install in my 2120?

 

[B-Faithful]

What was the pricing on the 2520xl?

 

[TimC2520]

A 2520 was not there, a 2320 was. I did not get to see the price of that as
I was too busy drooling over the 3420 :shock:
What a beauty! As I recall, that was $285,000+-

We went yesterday.

Seemed like there were a lot less people there than previous years, as stated. A lot of PWC's as was mentioned. Although we did overhear quite a few dealers talking about good sales at the show.

The 3420 is a monster when you see it in person. Very nice boat. However after looking around the show and seeing the finish (hardwoods, leather seating, full galleys, multiple heads, inboard twinscrew diesels etc) put on other 34 to 36 footers for the same or less money, we all seemed to agree the parker seemed kind of barren for it's $300K tag. It's still a beautiful boat in my opinion it's just overpriced by about $100k. Out of my league even with my 100k proposed discount though...

Regardless it would make someone a very nice fishing boat.

My dealer also complimented me on the drum I caught last summer and posted up on this site so big brother is watching us.... Hi Ben Hi Paul.

Later,

Greg, I asked about the 2520 and they said show price was about $78k with an F250.

[Anna Kathryn]

the 2320 that was at the show had a posted price of just under $65k with a F225 motor....
ps: check on boattrader.com and yachtworld.com and new 2320 models are listed for $58k with the F250 motor, and some even have a trailer included....
