Best New Boat Under 100k? Parker 2320 Overview
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- Anytime we use the words "best" and "boats," there has to be some qualifications. By Best New Boat Under 100k here, I'm talking about near shore, deep vee boats. The Parker 2320, at under 90k new, certainly fits that bill.
I recently had the pleasure of fishing with Team El Nino and Captain Nino Averso spent a few minutes after our trip going over his 2015 Parker 2320 Deep V Pilothouse.
Hope you enjoy!

Love my Parker 2520, the perfect boat for Long Island Sound. Can't beat the construction.
Great walk through!. I ordered my Parker, same boat 2320 Pilot, back in 2012. Its a fishing battle wagon!! The deep vee is a must. Dry and large cockpit!
Nino is the man!!! Had the pleasure of fishing with him a couple times and he is top notch!!! Great guy and team
100%
This model of boat, the 23 or 25 is my dream. Cant wait to get one.
Master chef say get thec2520 more wight smother rude
Great video, that outside humminbird unit is awesome. Perfect size too. I am working on saving for my first boat as well. Gonna take some time but this video is motivation
You need to check out the Steiger craft DV Miami. No step down into the cabin. My dream boat. 👍
That another option and mine Pilothouse came Crooked from Factory
For the real story on any particular boat do a search on You Tube and find someone with an older one who is rebuilding it. That gives you the inside look on structure and hull thickness among many other important things the salesmen never know about or talk about if they do. When Parker first showed up in the PNW I had a pretty good impression of them as a utilitarian fish boat that could be cleaned with a hosing at day's end for a very reasonable price. Then the price went sky high and I started watching rotten decks being replaced. The substructure and layup were a big, big let down. Seems a common story. A company starts out small with a quality product at a reasonable price and then as it gets very popular the quality goes down and the price through the roof. They are a nice design.
Parker for years, and I’ll be honest, I am not sure if they still do this or not, used a lot of wood in building their boats, which eventually can lead to what you described above
Parker builds a helluva a boat.
It sounds like we are listening to a prerecorded DJ version of why we should buy something.
Like a 23’ boat with a 21 degree rise was not pounding in rough seas-“it’s a miracle”
They have a rep for pounding hence my comments
If the step down into the cabin doesn’t bother you, it’s the perfect boat. There was a 23 at the tobay boat show for $69,995 in 2017.
Yescit is good deal
Definitely a boat I am considering in the near future. Love the Parkers. That boat is set up for serious game! Great video.
I grew up on a bay, a place where most people said, "A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into." It is better to have friends with boats than it is to have a boat :+)
Every time I gas up or fix something, I think the same thing :)
Oh you most exactly right about that everything is out of whack
My neighbor has a Chesapeake. They are fantastic boats. Dual steering and he added a Bimini off the back for extra shade. I will guess that they have another 25K invested with the electronics, trolling, rod holders, center fish station, etc, etc. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
Maybe 12k. Actually meant to talk about that and forgot. You can always add things piece meal over time to save $$$
Nice video! When the day comes for me to get a boat it's going to be between a Parker or Steiger. Buddy of mine has a 26' Steiger and i love it. The one thing i will say with the pilot houses vs a CC is the limited visibility. I find that to be the only con with his boat. Driving at night at higher speeds can get a little frustrating.
Can’t go wrong with either Parker or Steiger - both quality brands. The older I get, the tougher night driving is, regardless of boat type....I go as slow as the boat allows me....
Wrong use radar all yaght boat radare
@@sharonbraselton3135are you drunk?
Nice, looks like the perfect application for that. I like your Sea Vee for here in Florida. I would put those 3 live wells you have to good use. :)
Check out Robalo for a great entry level base model CC with a starting price under 30K with trailer. I know it’s not a pilot house or forward cabin model, but still great price for someone getting into boating. Their bay boats nicely equipped can be had at less than 45K for a 20 footer with Yamaha 150 ( without TTop). With TTop your closer to 50K. Their base starting price is under 40k
My next video includes a 222.
I’ve seen those boats they are very nice fishing boats!
Seriously considering building a diy.
Fresh water lake aluminum jon with a custom build extended cabin. Including a bow birth. The cost is too much for a common fisherman. I believe a diy build at about 40k can be just as good if not better than a factory new.
Not aluminum, but Tolman sells small DIY cabin boats. Not sure if you’ve ever checked them out.
I like the tackle station/cooler setup. For what they do i would think a 23CC would be better setup. Would eliminate the 2nd station. But those guys catch fish so cant knock them. And fuel burn sounds wayyy too high. Would think that boat gets 2.5-3mpg, not 1.5. Nice video.
Peter Thibault nope. My last boat was a Cobia 256 CC with an F300 and I can tell you as a single on a heavier hull, it’s a thirsty engine. They’re more efficient as singles on lighter set ups but once in that 4400 to 46/4700 rpm range, you’re burning a lot of fuel.....
Debating selling my Boston Whaler 255 Conquest because the market is so hot right now...the only apprehension is waiting for the market to turn around to replace it. I have a feeling in 2-3 yrs once all the new Boaters(city folks) who bought up all the new and used inventory out here realize they aren’t getting any better at operating them-we should have a bunch to choose from.
It’s amazing that every place that sells boats on this island has basically nothing on their lots-and what few there are-are grossly over priced.My choice for a NEW boat would be a Grady White 232 Gulfstream from Port of Egypt.23’ boat with a 9’2” beam-biggest little boat they build...Definitely not under 100k- but so what...I love that boat and while it’s not a pilot house-with the hard top and full enclosure your fully out of the weather in April and November.
John M my motto is you only live once - it’s nuts right now - you literally can’t find a bargain...
Masyer chef whaler 255 conswest gradey whit cabinncruser 232 ver whaler. Biger beter. M aster chef check specs generally come both great boat
That boat is tricked out! Holy Cow!
How far do they trust this boat honestly offshore I’m seriously between this and the 25 with twin 150’s
Like any 23 foot boat, you need to pick your days. I’ve been 25 miles offshore in a 21 and never felt unsafe…
Nice seems much bigger than 23 have 22 bay boat center console this is nice option
S Lange they have really big fishing cockpits....
John FYI Billy's by the bay is toying with the idea of doing his blackfish tournament sat oct 17th. With a revised social distancing captains meeting etc. He is working on details. Would you guys be interested in that? or available?
Ed Gerrity I already let Billy know I’m in! I have a charter but they are in. I’ll let the Niño guys know too. I’m sure they’ll make the drive for that. Doc is in too with his boat
@@jiggingjerks perfect... we will see how much of a response he gets.. last year was great. 20 boats or so. I was on committee boat, it was a perfect day. best is to call the restaurant 631-477-8300 to sign up
You can get a lot more boat if you buy used. I am not taking about 20 years old 😂
Buy something that is all composite with no wood. Unless it was dropped off a cliff, the hull will have 0 issues.
The motor should also still be under warranty. The owner should be able to provide all maintenance records.
Who cares what the market is. You will always pay less for a used boat compared to new. Never pay close to new price for a used boat that is a few years old. Not unless it's under a year old.
Michael H every other year I agree with you but this year is crazy. Used boats are selling for almost the same price as new and actually for more than they were bought for
Please do more of these. Would like a tour of your SeaVee. Do you already have a video of it?
Stephen Rojas I do and thanks for the kind words. th-cam.com/video/fRR5lJnxKrA/w-d-xo.html
Jigging Jerks thanks boss! Your channel is awesome because it’s relatable! Not some multi millionaires or something lol.
Hey John, coming back to this video, do you ever recall the 72” TM coming out of the water when spot locked? I ask bc I am up in the air regarding 72” or 87” for my Parker 2120 (same distance as nino’s from waterline to rub rail. Thanks!
I don’t but those Parker’s have a big bow. I would definitely go 87
@@jiggingjerks thanks, only contemplating the 72” bc I can get a good deal and save a grand. If Nino doesn’t have issues, I shouldn’t either.
Nice set up and review.
Seems huge for space
Nice nice nice!!!
How does it trailer would think well at that size?????
Gr8 big bunch of love and fishing envy!!!
Great guys is right and they trailer this thing thousand of mikes a year so I presume no issues....
Jigging Jerks
If i end up further north the pilot house looks great
We realistically are two winters away from stepping i to another place n boat
But
We dream!!
Thanks for feeding me boating as well as fishing ideas
Thanks for the video really nice boat still like yours better
Nice video captions just got a Parker 2320 piliot house
Congrats! Really was impressed with this boat’s capabilities - enjoy in good health!!!
Thanks yeah we found some lovely water proof bean bags that were about 150 each we got three of them so when we’re moving we lay out on the deck and when were fishing they go on top of the pilot house with some cords there easy clean
Do you know who made their cockpit coffin box? It looks very useable.
SeaGear Marine in NJ
@@jiggingjerks Wow, fast. Thanks!
@@brucesher113 haha - someone else had previously asked and I had the answer in one of the other comments
@@jiggingjerks Do you remember if the box lid was hinged?
@@brucesher113 I don’t believe it was....going off memory but I don’t think so
Jersey boat show
What is the draft on this rig? Can it also fish inland like the sound and rivers? Thanks in advance. 👍
Per their website, 15 inches. I think it can absolutely fish inland, but not super skinny waters. I personally would want at least 2 1/2 to 3 feet of water under me
@@jiggingjerks well thank you kind sir. The boat is beautiful and you are officially the quickest to respond to my inquiry after almost a decade on YT. Be safe and tight lines! 🐟🐟🐟
Nice 😎😎😎
Awesome bait station/cooler did he make that or buy it?? If he did what’s the company
A little bit of both from what I remember- they bought the box itself and custom rigged it from there
Everybody miss understands that only the modified hull pounds....deep v hull does not pound. My 2520 mv will pass a kidney stone on every trip......
Do you know who did the install on the mini Kota trolling motor ? I have a 2120 sc and would like to put one on my boat.
NJ Trolling Motors in Jackson, NJ
@@jiggingjerks thank you.
Hah, not anymore. 2320 msrp is now 120k!. 20% in 3 years sounds insane.
Isn’t it! That’s the good thing about these vids being up forever - it’s almost like a time capsule
do they tog fish in it? only reason i see the need for a pilothouse. i prefer feeling the wind on a CC in the summer
They absolutely do and no need for an anchor with the trolling motor
I hear you. I used to own a 23 Maycraft PH - there are still many cold or foul weather days where I wish I still had that boat
@@jiggingjerks i just bought a new sea pro 239 cc in jersey for 70k. you can get them for 70-80 depending on options
Did you check your pilothose was not Crooked like mine Cap?
I followed your thread on the Hull truth. Did that ever get resolved?
@@jiggingjerks awesome cap. No i did not, they wanted me to send the boat back so they can disassemble it but I refuse to disassemble a brand new boat, I wanted a same replacement and they refused so I decided to keep my crooked pilothouse and hopefully this doesn't happen to other boat owners.
Thanks for your reply captain
Are you aware of any others out there? I can’t believe the boat left the plant that way...
@@jiggingjerks he’s got a whole channel dedicated to the concept of that boat being built with a crooked floor system in it...guys channel takes you out to the Bahamas all the time and details all the customization he’s done to it.Have a look he’s a great guy and he’s made that boat really comfortable for where and how he uses it.
John M I’ve definitely watched them including some of the Bahamas crossing ones
Just bought one today unfortunately not under 100 anymore
Coming out with a video later today that features it again. Yes, over 100k now. Crazy
What do you think of the sea hunt gamefish 27. The boat show price was 116k. Are they good boats? Saw new is about 150k.
Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with the brand as did a good friend of mine. I know people love them, but I’d personally stay away. Im sure though there are thousands of owners with no issues. I talk about the one I almost bought in this video - th-cam.com/video/VyV2gVXYkUI/w-d-xo.html
What was the terrible experience with yours?
Justin Cocco I never owned one but I had a newer 30 Gamefish fail survey with severe structural damage to the center stringer. My surveyor didn’t not have good things to say about them. My friend Carl bought a 27 new and the port side had major water intrusion causing the boat to list. Sea Hunt’s way of addressing it was adding weight to starboard side to correct list. I personally wouldn’t touch one but I understand their appeal. They are very affordable and look great. And to be fair, I’m sure there are hundreds of happy customers for every customer that has a story like my friend Carl or went through what I went through....
Thanks for the reply’s
I just picked up the 2021 2120, while the 2320 was within my means, it wasn’t logistically.
Congrats and best of luck. Obviously, you don’t have to answer this, but care to share roughly how much you spent?
Jigging Jerks I don’t mind at all, it has pretty much every upgrade or option, got the 200hp instead of the standard 150 outboard, windlass, California rail, Garmin 742xs, Garmin 115 vhf, captains chair with seaspension, rocket launcher... after all said and done 75G no trailer. The 2320 accessorized like mine with a 300hp Yamaha on a bracket in reality is $100G
Out the door
Jigging Jerks And the guarantee 80% trade in within 2 years
Pilot House J good deal!
Who customized/built/installed the Bonar box??
Nino too me on the trip but I don’t remember- I’ll ask and report back.
Heard back from Nino. The Bonar box was purchased from SeaGear Marine in Cape May, NJ. It’s not mounted to the deck. It sits on the Sea Dexk (and I can attest, it didn’t budge in those heavy seas). The top was made by Nino and Ronnie Redrow (he’s another member of this fishing team). They used Azek board, maintenance free, PVC 1/2 inch plywood
@@jiggingjerks The boxes are getting harder & harder to find. We had to make the trip down to Sea Gear in Cape May for our box too. Not sure Bonar is even in business anymore.
@@jiggingjerks Thanks bud!!
@@savvy1856 Yes, very true, especially the smaller one like this one. I am looking and looking. I may have to take a ride.
Nice boat but Center Consoles rule the market now.
Want a cheap battlewagon. Look for a used angler 2600, 3 piece hull, 24.5 degree dead rise, 200 gallons of fuel. You can find them with twin Yamaha 150s, in the 30's. That what I did , we have had ours 75 miles out of St Augustine multiple times. Gets 2mpg at medium cruise. Just under at 35 mph.
I know all about that boat and agree 100%. Almost bought a brand new one in 2016 that was for sale in Miami. Was originally sold to the Venezuelan government to be used as a military boat and the US sanctions program blocked the sale. Was all blacked out with zero fishing features or I would have bought it. Most underrated, sleeper fishing boat out there. Shame it’s not produced anymore....
@@jiggingjerks it is a shame indeed. I heard that the boat was designed by homeland security and angler won the contract to build them. It's a dang good riding boat. It is too bad the blacked out one in Miami wouldn't work. I'm in Jacksonville FL and I have seen a couple being used by govt agencies.
What is that floor?
It’s called Sea-Deck. It’s a custom soft pad that your feet will thank you for later.
These boats ate not under 100k tho im on the west coast they are 130k. New anyways, i ended up with a defince Admiral 250 ex got it for 99k 25 footer no wood in the deck lifetime warranty on the hull with a offshore bracket
I disagree. The model I showed off boat trader was under 100, in fact under 90. That’s without taxes and add one of course. I think boats in general made on the East Coast sell for a premium on the west coast. Defiance I believe is made on the west coast so could be cheaper for you guys there. Nice boat by the way - almost bought same model in 2016 but got scared away by some of the folks on the Bloody Decks website....
Jigging Jerks Yeah also we use live bait tank systems so that adds alot to the price tag. Also on the west coast we use offshore brackets for the better ride. All things that come standard on the defiance. Yes there was a defiance boat that crashed that had a failed engine in rough weather. Big waves rough water no engine any boat will go down
Do you know any good boats between 20 and 30 K?
What size and where will you use? My neighbor just picked up a 2008 Steiger 21 Long Beach (center console) for 25k. It’s definitely a Seller’s market....
Thanks for answering! I really dont know to much about boats but me and my dad are planning to get one that's in the range of 15 to around 20 feet. We really just want something that can go around, not neccessary the ocean but in bays and fishing spots
Daniel Nemirov Lots of options in that range. I personally love the Cobia brand. They make a 20 and a 21 footer that you could find used in your price range
THANK YOU
Im a little late but northcpast has nice smaller ccs
What do you think of TwinVee 26 in comparison to Parker 2320?
I’m sure the TV has more space and probably rides better BUUUUTTTTTT, google Twin Vee issues before making a decision. If it were my money, I’d take a 25 Parker (a fairer comparison) over the 26 TV. Just one man’s opinion here....
@@jiggingjerks Yeah, TwinVee gets a lot of bashing on thehulltruth. I wonder if the new owner has made things any better. But sure, Parker is a safer bet. Have you looked at other cats? Prowler 25? I heard you can get a somewhat basic one for about $150k new.
Ik Lam not the Prowler 25 but some of the smaller Worldcats. Not impressed
a 2023 23' parker cost $109k now according to parkers website lmfao
Yup - they got bought out by a Private Equity firm since I published this video
@@jiggingjerks Gotta love it, pricing the little man out of boating!
nino is italian
buy stabicraft the best fishing boat made in new zealand
I’ve seen the videos over at The Captain site - cool boats for sure!
Haha,no more trips to n.j in the 2021 flounder pounder for the nino boys! Let's see how they fair fishing in Delaware waters🤔
James Stong we grew up fishing Delaware waters and we fair very well. Fishing up north consistently is a bucket list thing for us. It’s a dream come true for us to fish those waters out East. Anyone that talks about hardcore inshore fishing usually mentions Montauk once or twice. We fish it almost every weekend and love it. It’s very addictive.
@@ninoaversa812 just breaking balls , Montauk is on my bucket list as well.
parker end of story
Always, always offer way less. Sure, they will "tell you" it isn't possible, they are selling so fast--yeah, yeah, yeah. Kiss my ass, offer less, and leave your numbers. No way do you just "pay what they ask", no way. Now, IF they truly are selling "so fast" they may have you, and you do not have them. Maybe, but don't assume it's true.
only millionaire people can buy a boat at this time
steiger
3 years old. Go ahead and delete this video as it exceeds 100k
I thought the crooked pilot house was standard equipment. 🫤
