New to me 1801 Parker

[Fishingfrank]

Finally joined the club. Just got my Parker home. Now it’s time to dress it up. First things first, need to get a trailerable cover. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
Frank

Welcome.
How far do you plan to tow with the cover?

Maybe 300 miles on rare occasions. But mostly for outdoor storage.

Haven’t been able to take the Parker out yet, but it’s been really good for Bluefin and dorado locally here in so cal.

I see, that's exciting, can you update us on your first outing?

Ok, will be going for swordfish next week.

Great first trip, was lucky to get a nice swordfish estimated at 175#. Nice way to break in the Parker.

You have an uneven load Sir Out of curiosity, how far out for swordfish your way? Just curious as an 1800 owner in the Atlantic.

About 5 miles off the beach in Newport Beach, California in 1,500’ of water depth.
