new to the Parker family

[GaryM]

I just bought my first Parker, a 2001 23SE with a 2001 Yamaha 200 HPDI and an aluminum tandem-axle trailer. I bought it from superfishal, here on the forum (formerly J.A. Veil’s boat). I’m sure I’ll have many questions as I use the boat and hope to be able to contribute as well. Below is a pic of the boat. I’m hoping to go for mahi this weekend out of Beaufort Inlet, weather permitting, otherwise cobia on the inside if they’re still around. I’m glad I found the forum.

Welcome aboard!!
I'm a short-time member, but I feel as if I'm at home.
You bought the best.....so you must be a pretty smart feller.
Good fishing to you!

Thanks guys. I'm already loving what I've found so far. MegaByte, I'm really digging the T-top too. The previous owner had it installed just 6 weeks ago. He also added an Edson wheel and a backrest for the leaning post.

While I've been around boats all my life this is only the second one I've owned. The first was a Cape Horn 21. It was a great boat, but a different beast. I'm already liking the Parker even more than the CH.

Gary -

Congratulations on buying a great boat. I enjoyed that boat for 7 seasons. I hope you have many enjoyable years with it.

I was the second owner of the boat. Tri-State Marine loaned/gave a new boat to light-tackle guide Richie Gaines each year. That was his 2001 boat. I bought it in Jan 2002 after Richie had returned it to Tri-State.

Congrats on the boat. That is a clean looking 21SE 8)

 

[GaryM]

John, like Doug said this is one clean boat. It’s obvious that everyone who has had her before treated her well and I’m going to do the same. She’ll be put to good use.
