You will ride comfortably in 1-3's. With the helm so far up forward though, you'll need to learn how to properly trim the boat and know your cruise speed in certain conditions to avoid some pounding.

You cant go wrong with a 2320. I love mine.

Any other questions, please feel free to ask. Good luck with your purchase!

I'll give you my honest opinion!
Get a sea trial in some good chop 1st before you buy!
they pound !

Ditto on the seatrial. A pilothouse boat is not for everyone. There is a certain amount of skill involved in driving a boat where the helm is this far forward. My 2320 rides very nice in a 1-3 head sea (in certain intervals) thanks to my Permatrim which lengthens the pitch axis significantly. In a following sea the 2320 is comfortable on plane in seas up to 4 ft. With Permatrim you can slog along 18-20 mph on plane through some REALLY rough stuff without pounding and stay perfectly dry in the PH. LOVE my boat.....this is my second Parker and last boat as this boat does everything I need to do and gets great fuel economy to boot.
