My first boat! Almost ended up with a bad boat when I had a survey done in Mississippi on a 1992 2520. Surveyor said to walk away from the boat after ten minutes of inspection! A few small soft spots per the owner were big soft spots per the surveyor with the whole deck needed replacement!
Found this one in Houston on Facebook Marketplace. Clean survey but needs a new Volvo Penta fuel pump. Having that done now and when she gets here I need to rebuild one hydraulic ram and install a windlass. Will be kept in Oxnard for going the Channel Islands. 350 hours on the engine with the last 7 years of maintenance receipts totaling $8k.
Might call her the Nun Ya but the wife does not get the humor. Just think of all the folks at the launch ramp asking me what Nun Ya means. My 11 year old boy thought it was brilliant.

Hey. Was the 1992 Parker 2520 that was surveyed the one in picayune,ms ? Wondering because I saw one on fb marketplace there and was interested.
 
Welcome Island Dreamer! Great forum here...bought a 98 2520 Penta I/O just over a year ago and she's been a dream family and fish platform for us out of Gloucester, MA. Smooth sailing cap!

Ok, I'm not afraid to ask. (and I don't mind displaying my ignorance; I do so on a weekly basis! ☺). What is Nun Ya ?... I guess there are a lot of 11 year-olds smarter than me...
