History of Boat

• Boat was purchased by the original owner (not me) in 2018/2019 from Sterling Marine in Morehead City, North Carolina.
• I bought boat from original owner, via consignment at Sterling Marine, with less than 100 hours on it Winter of 2022 from Starling Marine
• Trailer was purchased used/rebuilt from Pacific Trailers in Winter 2022
• All stock Garmin electronics were removed and my customizations made for West Coast fishing

Reason for Selling

• Downsizing and reprioritizing finances
• I have not had as many opportunities to fish off-shore as I would have liked, and don’t foresee that changing in the near future with family and work priorities
• Lack of long distance towing missions to use boat off-shore

Should go for quite a bit, thats perfect 23' boat for socal all set up. Just missing tower controls. Btw do you mind posting pictures of your transducers, I'm curious to see how they were mounted. If it was me I'd list for what you're into it with all the upgrades, inflation included and see how it goes. GLWS. I lived in SC for 5 years, fished salmon up and down the coast, I love it up there. Sorry to hear your salmon is closed, hopefully it's for the better

Suggest you go over to Craigs List-boats...Some 23' Parkers for sale in LA area that might help you determine a price range....Good time to list with tuna and albies heading north...

There's a handful of older Parkers on CL that have been sitting for at least a year. They just keep getting reposted over and over. I think some of the demand for used boats is dying down.

In this market you should be very lucky to get $110k for it. Socal people have learned to move boats from east coast. Even insurance value the boat base on east coast boats.

Covid interest rates are gone. Couple of dealers in east coast are selling new leftover parker boats at 20% lower than what they were quoting in early 2023.

Electronics are very nice but people have differen preferances. What matters for you might not be a thing for the new owner... so you can't expect to get the exact value of the "extras" on resale.

Just being realistic here or you can wait years like many CL posters.

I would dis-agree...Parkers hold their value and are in high demand on the west coast. Of the 7 Parkers listed a month ago on Craigs List, only two remain and one of those is a new listing. Price it fair and it will sell fast...

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Definitely a cooler market than 2021/2022 but I'm not convinced its dead. I'm happy to entertain reasonable offers. Please send anyone interested my way.
