I know Parkers are an extremely well built boat, but I've heard that they tend to ride rough. What has your impression been compared to some of the other high end boats out there of the same size?
It's all in the deadrise...the parkers 21SE are shallow running boats with about a 17 degree deadrise...that's what you need to check...i've got a 2310 with a 24 deadrise...had a 21se and this 23 is a world of difference...
I haven't had a lot of experience with other high end boats but I can tell you that the Parker 2110 with the 21 degree deadrise is a very capable boat in a seaway. You may find another 21' boat that can go faster in a chop but I doubt that you will find a more solid, comfortable, versatile boat.
Give it some time. I don't know what Parkers go for, but at $30,000, it seems like a lot for a 6 year old, 21 foot boat with a 2-stroke motor. Again, I have no idea what a new one like that goes for now, so I may be off on that remark.
However, if you feel like you have it priced right to sell, you just need to wait a little longer. When we sold ours last month, we got the most bites from listing in the local paper, but also got some off Boattrader.com. Ultimately, it sold because it looked good in the slip and we had a "for sale" sign on it, so don't underestimate that method if it is in the water.
Also, we met with some resistance when we sold our boat last month. It had a Yamaha 200 HPDI. Most buyers seem to be wanting 4-strokes now, whether right or wrong.
I saw the other ad...looks like a good deal also. I have some more horses and a brand new Garmin. I'm in SC and the other boat is in NC which may be a factor for some. I'll certainly consider offers.
I'm curious about the mounting plates for your electronics. Are they wood? It looks like they could have been glued down with marine sealant then the brackets screwed into the wood. I always hated drilling into new gelcoat. Also, does this have a recirculating baittank at all? Thanks.
Yes, the mounting pads are teak. I changed some of the electronics and the new mount holes didn't match the old holes. I bedded the pads and screwed them as well. Then screwed the mounts to the teak. I put 3-4 coats of Captain's varnish on the teak before installation. Works wekk and looks fine!
I also made a chart rack wich is very handy. See pic.
