OK guys,
Here is my dilemma. I sold my 2320 because I wanted to move up to a 25 (this will potentially be my 4th Parker!) and I ran across a 1995 Parker Openback. I know she is older than my previous 2010/2320 and quite different, but I like her, especially with that openback.
Here are the specs:
1995, 25?? Parker Openback (the parker designator number is missing)
Volvo Penta 5.7 engine and Volvo dual Prop outdrive (runs ok /sea trial coming up)
No electronics (that I would keep)
Aluminum I beam tandem axle (trailer is massive, researching cap, but if I didn't know better Id say 10k trailer)
Overall the boat would clean up, but it needs TLC.
Here are my reservations:
- Is this boat worth 14k (my opinion yes, but difficult for me to estimate bc of its age)
- Is this boat truly and Openback? I know they are not common and I have reservations that at some point someone didn't just take a jig saw and cut away, the cut does not seem to be precise. I have the HIN will this reveal if this boat is a true openback?
- Do you guys with 2520's get hassled by local yokels while towing, she seems so much bigger than my 2320 and it doesnt have an L bracket engine!
If anyone can provide assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
