So first of all i would like to say whats up!!! I am new to this forum because well Uhh i am the newest "new boat owner"!.. Ya i know you dont give a rat's *** but you're going to sit there and read this like a good iboater. I am deployed right now so i have no one to tell that would give a **** lol.
Wife bought me a 2000 17' Bayliner Capri 1750 bowrider for my first boat! It has a 3.0L Mecruiser 140hp (i hope thats a decent i/o). bimini top, cd player! yea boy... I bought it to cruise around, pull my wife, son and myself on a tube/skis and get to my Noodlin spots quick fast and in a hurry. I'm hopin its able to pull my fatass up (175 lbs)!! i'm so excited to get home next month and take my 30 days leave! i am a redneck so im pretty sure it will keep me amused either way.
I have some questions.. feel free to answer... or not answer.
I have no doubt that this will pull a tube/skier, how fast do yall think it can go?
Guesstimate on the shallowest water it can cruise along in? I like to break off from the main body of lakes and go back where not alot of people hang out.
How much gas will this thing use during a weekend?
I know it varies by state - but does anyone know if oklahoma requires some type of license?
