Hi guys, good to be back after a 5 year hiatus.
I sold my last 2520 back when I had my first kid. He's now almost 6 years old and I need another Parker.
I'm currently considering a 2005 2520 XLD with a F250. The catch is that the outboard has 1900 hours on it. According to the seller the boat was a work boat that ran 24/7 7 days a week. He reports the engine had a complete fluid change every 168 hours.
My question is, how hesitant should I be to buy this boat? What actions should I be taking to make sure I'm doing due diligence before getting into such a high-hour boat? Or should I just keep looking?
Thanks in advance. I missed you guys.
