    2008 Bayliner 205 Review

    For 2008 Bayliner is releasing a brand new 20 foot Bowrider dubbed the 205. This is the same boat that tashasdaddy did blind testing with a few months back. I got the opportunity to spend some time on this boat while in Knoxville, and due to some quick thinking by Bill Gius from iboats we got in...

    Broken hinge pin - Pre Alpha

    Working on an old Merc drive for a friend . . . :rolleyes: The starboard one came out reasonably easy, and then I was cranking on the port one when I heard a "crack": Yes, correct tool and I had not put any heat to it yet. Thoughts on getting this out? Any chance without welding something...

    Maxum 2700 SE - Review

    As I have noted here, I was given the opportunity to test four different Maxums recently in a new program with US Marine. You can be assured that Maxum and Bayliner want, and are reading, your comments, so let 'em know what you think. The first model I tested was the Maxum 2700 SE. With an 8’...

    This is ridiculous . . .

    I have been harping on these silly things forever, but this one takes the cake. What possibly could this POS tale thingy be contributing to this boat? :rolleyes:

    Please take a look at the threads that I will be adding here of four different Bayliners that I tested as a guest of US Marine in Knoxville, TN. Over the course of two days, I was given the opportunity to play with these Bayliners and four Maxums to give what US Marine hoped was an un-biased...

    Thanks iboats and US Marine!!

    I just spent two days testing boats for Bayliner and Maxum in Knoxville. I had a great time and I really want to thank iboats and US Marine for the opportunity. Please check in here ( I want a Bayliner ) where I detail some more of the testing and results. It is obvious to me that Bayliner and...

    I want a Bayliner!!!

    I am dead serious . . . Thanks to a great opportunity that I received from iboats and from US Marine (Bayliner, Maxum, Trophy & Meridian), I just spent two days in Knoxville testing some of Bayliner?s and Maxum?s latest models. I climbed over, beat up, poked at, pushed and pulled and throttle...

    Softball with an Olympic Gold Medalist

    Olympic Gold Medalist (1996, 2000, 2004) Leah O'Brien played on our Co-ed team tonight . . . :cool: We won 17 - 14 against a young team. Most of us are 40ish so that's cool by itself, but I am an Olympic Gold Medalist team member :D Well something like that anyway.

    Strange Volvo Issue . . .

    My buddy has a 2005 Chaparral 236 SSi with a Volvo 5.7 GXi DP. On our last trip he started complaining of a semi-violent vibration . . . in neutral at idle . . . :confused: So, I spent some time on the boat and inspected everything, mounts etc. and we also cruised around. All fine, and then we...

    Oarfish - Cool pics

    This is a thread from another Forum, and although it should probably be in Saltwater Fishing I thought it was weird enough to be here: Oarfish

    Maybe my best post that no one saw

    I knew it would get missed because of the obscurtiy of the Diving section, but check out post #7 of Underwater Photography Nobody modded it, that's how I originally posted it. I thought I deserved some credit and it's kinda appropriate now because of the HOTD discussion . . .

    So I talked to Admin 5 . . .

    Well being the pain in the arse that I am, I yakked a little with Admin 5 of iboats today. As our friendly neighborhood Sheriffs are just doin' what Sheriffs do (love you guys and gal), I thought I would kinda get it more from da horse's mouf concerning the changes here at Dockside, and I agreed...

    Clarification Please - Mods

    Do you actually mean this as broadly and literally as has been implied? Posts on controversial topics such as politics, social controversy and religion have proven to be inflammatory and will no longer be allowed. For example we cannot discuss the 2008 election? Hybrids vs. Diesels...

    Neurotic Dog Update

    Well I think this is all gonna work out . . . First "Boo", if anything, was getting worse. Here he is in a familiar pose: We helped the breeder find him a new home with an elderly couple. Slow moving, nice and quiet, seems like a good match. Also, if you recall he had 21 ticks on him and...

    Stupidest/weirdest thread ever on iboats

    Not poking fun at JB, but it might be a fun excercise. What is the stupidest or weirdest thread ever posted? It does not count if it was started by Techno and you simply did not understand it. Love you Ray :) My submission is: sponcer me I still am not sure if this was real or not, which...

    Monster Wreck Video - NASCAR Busch race

    As Long Duc Dong would say "Big Leck" . . . :eek: Some guy named Keselowski, this weekend at the track here in Fontana. He's OK, but he was airlifted for a triple check and complaints of foot pain. He's gonna race this weekend.

    Volvo IPS smokes V-drives in test

    These results are nothing short of phenomenal. While not a "perfect" test, read toward the bottom and you'll see why I believe that it is in fact conservative . . . the IPS had a tougher job to do. Although this is not a traditional I/O, and it is a much bigger boat than most of us will ever...

    Neurotic Dog

    We were on our way home from vacation two weeks back when my wife blurts out "OK I am ready for another dog" (we put Maggie down late last year, and we have been waiting for Mom to signal it is time to get Bear a friend). I have been lobbying for a Beagle as most of the Customs dogs in Australia...

    How to set fire to your boat (or how not to prime)

    Probably an SHT, but I'll share here . . . I set fire to my 23 Carrera 6.2 Merc a week ago last Friday. It was the last hour of vacation, so I was tired and getting ready to put her on the trailer, not using my brain completely (or maybe too much etc.) I am posting this here as it relates to an...
