There is no point in fighting the temptation.

I feel like Luke Skywalker when he just found out DV was his father .. NOOOOOO !! NO NO NO....

But in the end it worked out fine right ? .. I mean after another movie LOL..

YD.

I never

Oh, you are done for now. You are toast. I can't believe you just said that. You might as well come to terms with it. Statements like this are just a cover, just a facade really, for what is really going on.

Hey PST, when you haul home that new, old aluminum rig, be sure to post up photos of your score. We like em.

Re: First boat Deal or no Deal

Ssn, I think you should give the boat to shadetree to redo. That way you'll get to watch him spend the next three years and a second mortgage on it. Then you'll know for sure while your reeling in a fish on your redone tinny later this summer you'll know you made the right call.

Re: First boat Deal or no Deal

The voice of reason. Now where can I hide it so mama dont see it. If I had my way I would own every model of Bayliner that wasnt a bow rider. Yea I dont like the looks of those but they are a ton more functional. Anyone ever tried to hide a new old boat from the wife? How did it work out for you? Ja there was the time at band camp but shh I cant post pics everyone would know

Re: First boat Deal or no Deal

Ive got caught backing one in the driveway and never got a chance to hide it. I only got in a little trouble when she pulled up. Another one I bought while she was in Florida, I sent her a picture.

Mama got a pistol grip 12 gauge. Im scared to bring more projects home unless approved first.

She wasn't too happy about this one cuz I took her parking spot, until I told it was free.

She was a little too excited when I told her I was scraping it though. Don't quite know how to take that responce.

Re: First boat Deal or no Deal

ssn, It depends upon how fond you are of the boat, your skills and your finances. I'm not you but I wouldn't want to take that project on. I've known a lot of people who have started projects like this, only to "burn out" and give up. On the other hand, some guys with real skills and money turn these boats into gems. Try to find a small boat that runs but needs some cosmetic work. That way you can use the boat while you work on it. I see them on Craigslist every day.

Re: First boat Deal or no Deal

Just wanted to close this thread out with a sincere thanks to everyone who posted. I finally got this thing off the trailer and should be making room in the driveway for a newer bayliner. Just wanted to show the final farewell of her going to the dump.

getting pulled off the trailer by some bulldozer, kinda felt bad she was going to be squashed but no-one would take her.

Now that's over this is my new baby. I'll be starting a new thread once I get the engine started and the restoration begins. 1991 2655 Bayliner

Re: First boat Deal or no Deal

I've already been looking in backyards and craigslist.

Ebay has some really good deals on boats right now. Just tonight there are quite a few turn key auctions going for less than $4k. If you are looking for a project, look for a "boat angel" auction.

Disregard my post. That's a nice looking replacement!

Re: First boat Deal or no Deal

SSN, I read this and seen your pics of your boat at the dump and thought no,no,no, and felt real bad for it but then I seen your new boat and I don't feel bad for it anymore.

Congrats on the new boat, Its real nice.

Re: First boat Deal or no Deal

Good decision, but the newer bayliner needs attention.
The cushioned bolsters are rotted by the stains running down the gunnel skirts.
Also the rear railing is notorious for working loose, they need proper backing inside the gunnels.
It never ends.
