Saw our big brother this weekend, twice.

This guy was tooling around the bay both Sunday and Monday (maybe Saturday too but didn't see him out that day.).


Nice looking boat. Bay was a sloppy 2' chop Monday from the high wind and it looked like the 28 was just gliding over it.

Thats pretty funny, I was fishing next to him in Great Bay on saturday. Not sure what Parker was yours, (there were a lot out there), but my boats called Reel Occasion. You may see me around the bay once in a while. Im out of Tuckerton.

The three front windows give away the 28's. :wink:

 

[Bryan 2530]

Although the 2820's only have two windows??? Wonder why??

i think- dont quote me- but i think that the house on the 2830 might have been wider? i seem to remember thinking "wow, this boat has a narrow walkway" when i got a chance to get on one at Shorts once. but i could be mistaken. also, maybe something having to do with the enclosed head ? :?

Haha, no, that pic was taken Sunday. The sloppy 2' was on Monday (memorial day).

 

[Peter Parker]

Do they still make a 2830?

 

[channel_surfer]

I was wondering the same thing about the 2520SL since the model is not listed in the 2008 lineup on parkerboats.net. Only the XL is listed.

 

[pelagic2530]

Do they still make a 2830?

no, they do not. it was discontinued shortly after its introduction due to low sales. shame, i hope the same thing doesnt happen to the 34

I run in the IRI too. Where do you take off from? I trailer and have a house in Ocean View and drop in at Harbor View Marina which is on the south side of IRI. My boat is nameless but I think I am the only WA Parker in the area. I would like to catch up with you on the water one day.

 

[Bryan 2530]

OK, now I'm confused. :?

What is the difference between this boat.........

And this boat?????

If you look at this pic from Fish AC you can clearly see 2820 on the side but it has an extended cab???? Any ideas?

I think we need help from a factory historian.

It would be cool to see a listing of models, both present and past, that shows the lineage as well as when they were available.
A good example is the 2110. No longer produced, but we have several members here who own one.
