1994 Parker 2520 Sport Cabin

Step into the cabin and you’ll see why these 2520s have such a loyal following. The helm layout is simple and unfussy, with big windows all around for a clear view while you’re running in sloppy conditions. The wide side decks and high bow rail make it easy and secure to move forward to handle the anchor or fenders. Inside, there’s room to duck out of the weather, stretch out on the berth, and stash gear for a full day on the water. The big, open cockpit is the real work zone—plenty of space to spread out the crew, set up multiple rods, or load coolers and crab pots without feeling crowded.

This 2520 Sport Cabin is particularly well suited to local waters where conditions can shift quickly from calm to choppy. The pilothouse lets you run comfortably through afternoon wind waves while staying dry and out of the sun, and then linger on the hook when the evening chill sets in. Shallow approaches, winding channels, and tight marina spaces are all manageable thanks to the predictable handling and excellent visibility from the helm. With its generous cockpit and straightforward systems, it’s an easy boat to maintain and a practical platform for fishing, exploring nearby coves, or making quick weekend hops along the coast.
