Hello all. I know this is not a dealer sponsored site or anything, and I'm not asking for what you paid for your boat, BUT...........
2 years ago I bought a used 25 foot Parker Sou’wester--1985 year model. I’ve really enjoyed the boat so far but unfortunately it has become enough of a project that I will likely take it out of service for a while which will leave me in a position to need a replacement. I’ve already re-powered it with a 2005 F250 Yamaha and replaced all of the electronics and the trailer, which creates my dilemma--$23,000 worth of stuff with no hull to mount it on.
What I would like to consider as a possibility would be ordering from Parker a new 2300 Center Console with everything but a motor. I could arrange for my motor to be mounted by my motor guy or possibly let them or one of their dealers handle that, whichever would be easiest and most cost effective.
I’m only a few hours south of the factory so delivery wouldn’t be an issue.
I'd like to have all the options added at the factory so it is done by guys who know what they're doing.
Is there any input you guys can offer on how much $$$ I'm looking at here?.
