I think I am addicted to Bayliners, is there help?

[Bubba1235]

I admit it, not only am I addicted to Bayliners but to the mid 80s Bayliners. I don't know what it is but I just love the look of the Capri Open Bow ski boats. I think they are still one of the best looking hulls around. (The 195 being my favorite.)

I currently have a newer Chris Craft Concept which is a very nice boat, but I still prefer the look of the Capri. Is there any hope for me? Can this be cured? :redface:

I always liked the Capri's traditional flat transom.

I still don't like the "'European" styles that came about in the late Eighties.

Take a beep breath and if you drink have an adult beverage and hit craigslist and restore as many as you can. Just make sure they have a good or fixable drive. I'm thinking of looking for another. But bigger

I feel for ya! I bought a new one in 1997 a 19' SS and then traded that one for a new 2000 2855 LX....I loved both of them!

I'd love to find an outboard-powered, well maintained, Bayliner. I keep finding ones that were stored outside, under a tree, without a cover.

Re: I think I am addicted to Bayliners, is there help?

This one is in great shape boat wise but the owner didn't winterise so the 305 chevy is toast. I am thinking that for this one I may step up to a 350 chevy in the 300 H.P. range. Why? Just to blow the smug look of those that look down on Bays.

Why stop there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XylfrlOu2qQ

Nothing is more beautiful than the old Glastrons. Take a ride in one and then enjoy your addiction to Glastrons.

For folks with low res monitors the pics are cut off. If you size them to 640 x 480 you will be golden.

Sorry my laptop has a 17"my desktop is a 19" screen Will fix on future pics. However I'm am far from the only guilty party.

Ok so let's bring back the endangered species of the mid 80s B-liner

...Bubba, you need help dude...and you're hearing this from another Bayliner owner.
However...for the dough $$ they can be a good lake boat if you find them dry and well maintained.

Re: I think I am addicted to Bayliners, is there help?

I guess we have to size pics to account for people who have not updated their brouser for 10 years. If you have a brouser that was made after 1999 you dont need to resize your pics.

did not realize that people still use windows 3.11 and boot from floppy disks instead of having a hard drive. Thats like 8 track players and use of telephone lines to access the internet.
