I have three prospective buyers showing up early next week to look over my
Parker 2520XL. I don't know any of these folks. If anyone reasonable here
is looking for a Parker of this style, let me know, and I'll make a deal
for $5000 less than one of the prospects seems willing to pay.


Just curious..........why would you do that?




Because I'd prefer a nice boat go to a nice guy...a nice guy I know.
I've done this before. In Jacksonville, I sold a nice SeaPro to a police
officer I knew down there for about 10% less than another offer I had at
the same time. No fool I...when I visit in Jax, he takes me fishing on
his boat. He sold the SeaPro a few years later and bought a larger
center console boat.

My 2520XL is a great boat if it is the kind of boat you want. Women like
it, too, because it has a private area with a electric flushing toilet,
a relative rarity on a boat of its size and type.
