Owner Experience Review
Owners lean on the 2300 Special EditionfromPARKER MARINEfor its flexibility: the boat is equally at home spending a day inshore chasing fish or rafted at a favorite sandbar with friends and family. Reports point to nearshore, run‑and‑gun use—running to breaking fish, including albacore—and its trailerability makes weekend day‑boat outings and casual family cruising straightforward.
On the water, owners say it climbs on top of a chop and runs smoothly, describing a drier, less‑tippy feel that gets on plane fast; at the same time, they acknowledge the hull can bang and deliver a few bone‑jarring slams in a good head sea. Typical performance notes cite an economical cruise in the mid‑20s mph and a top end around 40–45 mph with a 225hp‑class outboard.
The factory SE fit‑out suits mixed fish‑and‑family duty: T‑top, leaning post (often with livewell and rocket launcher), under‑gunwale rod racks, and a lockable console with head/porta‑potti. It’s a true dayboat—console headroom only and limited below‑deck accommodation—though one owner, after specific mods, called it best in class for their use and routinely ran 40 miles offshore without issues. Common owner tweaks include moving the batteries into the console to cure stern‑heaviness and improve ride. Maintenance notes from long‑term use mention cramped bilge spaces with some corroded wiring and access challenges under the console; on older 2300s there are documented cases of fuel‑tank corrosion/leaks, with replacement and associated deck work required in those instances.
Pros and Cons
- Versatile layout handles inshore/nearshore run‑and‑gun fishing and relaxed sandbar family days.
- Owners report an economical mid‑20s mph cruise, about 40–45 mph top, and a drier, less‑tippy ride that gets on plane fast.
- Factory dayboat fit‑out (T‑top, leaning post with livewell/rocket launcher, under‑gunwale racks, lockable console head) supports mixed fish‑and‑family use.
- In head seas the hull can bang and deliver the occasional bone‑jarring slam.
- Console‑only headroom and minimal below‑deck space make it a true dayboat, not an overnighter.
- Older boats have documented fuel‑tank corrosion/leaks, and owners note cramped bilge/wiring access.
