I threw out about 9k on a Bayliner Trophy 19' with binimi top. Loved it at first sight. I upgraded from a 18' or 19' 1977 Invader. The invader I could manuever with no problem and dock it with no problem at my marina. I am having a lot of trouble with my Tophy however.
Basically I come in...
I have an 87 Invader with a 88hp evinrude. Basically what happened was in September we had a nasty storm and while at work my boat cover blew off and my boat filled with water. By the time I got to the boat, the back had already been filled all the way up with water (engine did NOT go under)...
We spotted the two boats at a boat show and while the Pioneer leads in price by about 2k, they are roughly both the same in appearance and style. Does anyone have any negative or positive feedback regarding either of the boats, or can make a recommendation between the two?
Thanks in advance.
