Its sellin for a great price.

What you guys think ?
bayliners ? good boat ?
volvo engine/outdrive...good stuff ?


For your purposes I see no reason to haul all that around (on the water). Cuddy...? And I would stay away from any I/O's, they certainly have their place but not for what you're doing.

I think it was Bob and Susan that pointed out my thoughts perfectly. Get whatever boat feels good for you and there are a whole lot of really cheap hulls out there in this economy and spend your money on a new Honda or Yamaha, throw in another $700 or so for a new B&S come-home engine and you're in fat city without problems for a long time.

If you want a free boat follow the BOAT/US Cat team around after a hurricane and they will give you one.

HUMMM !! that is one the crazest thing I ever heard..friendS used to call me on the radio when I had my boatyard and tell when it was "livingston weather" and Id go for some high speed runs !! a cat LOVES the wind !! why ?? the tunnel fills with more air and and you pick up speed and less wetted running surface also means your flying over the waves not trying to push/plow throw them as in a mono..there used be a old blue one by the tennie courts (la posada) and 1 day stopped by & talked to the gent and he said the only reason he was alive was that 1 day the wind came up early and he stated that any other boat would have been hell in those seas and would have never intenionly been out in that condition..I myself have learned (by being caught) that I can now play in rolling breakers and not have to worry..but till you ride in one.I can understand that you dont understand and thats perfectly normal !!k & t
