I went to the parade in the 80s as a kid (we used to live on silverstrand) I am glad they still do it

Born and Raised in Oxnard. Still live and work here, but this location is rough for business. I wish this dude well, but it is an uphill battle unless they diversify and really have a trademark (must have dish) where peole will drive a few extra miles. I'll take my fiance this sunday and see whats up.

Love to see handwork pay off. Gotta check this place out. Hopefully some good veggie options.

lightning washes you out like crazy dawg

And how much did they increase slip fees by?

Yea right Fake ass spot

Yawn 🥱

Great information! You are my go-to advisor! I wouldn’t see anybody else!

Wow! Very informative information and Brad is very experienced!

Bello balneario y de bonita geografía. Lo malo es su pequeño estacionamiento.

used to live near via marina park, visited strand a lot and now that im lookin at it... it would be a good spot to build a lilskatepark for the boys

Nice

Love it. Keep the updates coming...

I'd like to see this same format with the 2520 and 2820. Great vid.

Great overview 🎉

Do they still make Crooked Pilothouses ?

Parkers are great boats! Built right here in Eastern NC. I do not go out in the ocean so for that reason we bought a pilot house boat with a 7 in draft and 250 mile range on 46 gallons of gas. She isn't fast, just super reliable. If I wasn't worried about an 18 inch draft and wanted to do some ocean fishing, this would have been a great option. I watch my buddy's channel "On The Reef" on YT and he has a ton of fun on his Parker. Awesome video. 🤙

What buyers need to do--and this 0.0 disrespect to this, or any dealer, is do their own research. Example, if the hull has a horse power range, say 225---400 HP, the Dealer may have a "package" all set, with a single, 250 and tell you, "this is perfect for this boat", but you need to consider YOUR needs. If you know you will carry a lot of gear and four or five big guys, that is a lot different than you as a single boater, or just you and the companion. Going larger with HP is not just about how fast you can go, it means you don't have to run it wide open to get on plane, so it is easier on the engine (or engines) if you can run at 3/4 throttle--plus with twins there is redundancy that many of us enjoy. This boat, if you did not know, is staggeringly expensive--for the vast majority of us, so the Dealer is sometimes giving a "package" that at least tries to get the price down, but so many times I've seen boaters end up with a boat they find underpowered, sure it is fine on a flat day, but it does get rough--and this boat can take it, but a lot of HP can really help you out when you need it. That RANGE is there for a reason, think it through. Don't get me wrong, a great Dealer will help you out and point this out, but many--especially if they are behind on sales, may not. Another thing that is NOT the Dealer's job, is to warn you about how big that ocean can be when she gets mad. It is not joke when it gets rough and even in this fine, fine boat, you need to know somethings; I'm not a "regulation" kind of guy, but too many don't even know what a "thru hull fitting" is, or a SeaCock, or what do you do IF--not when you lose your engine-a floating plastic bag gets sucked up--an alarm sounds, the engine turns itself off to not overheat and you are heading into some rocks--now what? Do you know? Did the Dealer even mention it? Do you have a "repelling pole" handy to keep you off the rocks--and do you have and know who to deploy your anchor NOW? I worry about the "rich guy" who buys the boat--and has no idea and no one helps him out. Recently out of my home port, I heard a guy (on the radio) SCREAMING as his shiny new--LARGE boat I could never afford has lost it's main and was heading into the rocks-paniced and no idea what to do. As fate would have it, a Coast Guard boat just happened to be there, skipper put that big government boat between the guy and rocks, side tied and towed him on in, but you can't count on that. Just watch out if you ONLY have money and not much else. Any Salesman may or may not give a rip.

Guess that explains why it’s taken so long lol

Yes!! Bring a nice seafood or steak house to the location. Freshen it up and set it up like it was before. Dining downstairs, bar and entertainment upstairs. Loooong over due to get something in there. A shame it’s taking so long.

I have 2004 23sc and I love it. Repowered after 15 years from 225 Yamaha to a 300 hp.

I have a 2120 Parker and it sits bow heavy,after rain I get puddles by wheel house……not good

It's about time. Great news...

Nice

Can i find in CA a boat similar to the english pilothouse like the orkney, warrior, wilson flyer, or explorer? 15-18 ft no frills fishing boat that plane on a 60hp outboard?

😮

I looked at a new one a month ago and idk what model it was but it looked identical to this one. Why are there zero fish boxes in the deck? The boat had a huge deck area to fish but nowhere to keep the fish you catch

Crooked pilot house

Put a seakeeper ride on it.

Would have been nice if he elaborated on the pros and cons of inboard vs outboard.

I am a hardcore offshore Socal fisherman, I am on my 2nd 2320 and loving it. Ice down your VG if you cry about the pounding of this size pilot house boat.

Are they still there?

I bought a new 2320 back in 2007 for 50k. It has a lot of deck space for fishing, but I didn't like how it rode in moderate chop so I sold it a year later. I probably should have kept it though because it would still be worth what I paid for it.

Yes!

I HAD THE SAME BOAT AND LOVED IT.

Goofy boat

The sea lions have been there for way more than the season. Their occupation of Kiddie Beach is NOT seasonal. They tried to corral them into Hobie Beach (fencing them off from Kiddie Beach) but that lasted for maybe a month/month and a half before the sea lions went back to Kiddie beach in droves again.

Good stuff Garry. What’s the word on the 5th street development at the N/W cornered harbor and the dunes development proposed to go in behind canal st.? Any update on whales tail??

Nice marketing.

Good stuff Gary. Looking forward to your videos. See you around the beach. Tank

Really nice video of the neighborhood I’ve called home for 39 years! The store has such cute beach things…I wish you well in the days ahead as you share what’s happening in the neighborhood ☺

I retired from the Harbor Patrol in 2014. The Casa Serena Hotel had been closed for sometime even back then. Same for the Lobster Trap restaurant. And many businesses at Fisherman’s Wharf. In the years since my retirement, other restaurants and businesses in the harbor have closed. The Harbor Patrol and Administration buildings were soon closed for planned renovations. I was at the Harbor Patrol for 23 years, and skippered boats out of the harbor since 1980. It breaks my heart that nothing has been done and to see the harbor in such bad shape.

Nice!
