Good afternoon. I am about 4 weeks away from receiving our new Parker 2320 w/ single 300 Yamaha. I would like to see other pictures of folks 2320 on their boat lifts so I can adjust my bunks accordingly.

How far apart are your bunks?


How far forward do your bunks run? ( total length of each bunk).

Do your bunks go all the way back to the transom? Similar to how you would load your boat on the trailer?

I would be grateful for any info. Thanks.

Aaron

I just had to setup a lift for my 2110, obviously not the same hull, but for measurements I looked at how a lot of boats were setup on other lifts and most seemed to be fairly close, along the first or second set of hull strakes, depending on the depth of the v of the hull and how high off the cross beam the hull needed to be. Another thing to keep in mind is any thruhulls under the boat...my live well thruhull is about 8” off center on the port side, so I put the bunk inside edges at about 10” off center and it seemed to hit just about perfect on the first set of strakes. I did pull the boat to where the bunk edges were right at the edge of the transom supporting the boat similar to how it would be on a trailer, figured that was likely best. I will geta pic this afternoon when I run over to the house.

Thank you very much for these pictures. They really help. I have my trailer set up from the manufacturer at 44" from inside bunk to inside bunk. Today, I will adjust my lift bunks to accommodate that space between the bunks. Should be perfect.

I have my dock team coming today to replace all 4 cables on the lift ( maintenance measure as this new Parker is 2000 pounds heavier loaded w/ ice/ fuel than the last boat that was on the lift).

I will adjust the lift bunks today.

Thanks again! Really appreciate you, man. Nice looking Parker you have too!
 
Here's what I used to set up my trailer - I'm assuming the principle is essentially the same...?

That attachment was a work order for a trailer. Did I interpret that correctly : Your outside bunk to outside bunk distance is 31"?

The dealership spaced my trailer bunks at 44" inside to inside bunk distance. I have my dock boys over today replacing lift cables and adjusting bunk distance to 44".
 
Was going through some old files and found this, which might also be helpful to anyone else that comes along.
