Well I may be close to a moment of truth. I have been in love with the Parker 2520 since the first time I saw one. Just thought wow!! a genius made a real fishing boat small enough that someday I could afford to buy it and equally important afford filling it with fuel. Actually think the same about the 2120 and 2320 but would eventually move up I suspect.
Moment of truth??--may have found a good one I can afford.

Even after shipping from NJ to CA and W/O a trailer it is at least $10,000
better than any deals locally. Have never purshased at distance so have a lot of questions. first does this deal look as good to you guys as it does to me? Second, how to get a thorough and honest survey? Last but not least is it a bad idea to get it shipped without a trailer and if so how much does a good trailer for a 2520 cost?
This is very exciting but stressfull as I am very inexperienced with boats. In fact I have never owned one. Have fished many and driven quite a few but this is way different. I am not in a reckless hurry so if this doesn't work out waiting is just fine. Realisticly though I am unlikely to find this kind of price close to home.
Thanks in advance for your opinions of this particular Parker and subsequent words of wisdom.
