My wife and I have wanted something like this for along time... got a very very good deal on it. It left Okahumpka Florida yesterday---slated to be in Waterford CT Thursday morning.. Can't wait---don't regret getting rid of any of the above.... Gotta admit the boat hauler guy looks goofy in the pic! LOL!!! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Docwheelhorse 2,559 #3 Posted May 2, 2017 Boat supposidely will go 44 mph glat out burning 30--35 gallons per hour... Back down to 20 mph on plane and your ---sipping--- gas at 15--20 gallons per hour . As they say... Break Out Another Thousand!!! Tony 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 8,770 #9 Posted May 2, 2017 Very nice, but that is doing some drinkin Bring that boat down to Texas and I'll rock you to sleep with the wake from my Nautique 210. My son has it outfitted with fat sacks that can be filled with up to 4500lbs of water ballast for wakeboard competition. Even with all the ballast my 350 and a power prop only drinks 7-8 gal per hour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPWH 5,288 #11 Posted May 2, 2017 You will hear those twins talking to each other. You take this gallon, I'll take the next. Very nice boat. I'm sure you and the Mrs. will enjoy your time on the water on that ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,034 #13 Posted May 2, 2017 Tony, There was one like that on Candlewood a few years back. Does that have a sliding door in the back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docwheelhorse 2,559 #14 Posted May 2, 2017 Yep, slider on back... boat is full composite and only 2 pieces. Top was cast and bottom then "glued" together. Ive been told its the best hull design ever made by Bayliner. Its also my 4rth Bayliner flybridge... a '78 Saratoga 25', an '84 Cierra 26', an '86 Contessa 29' and this '93 Cierra 31'. I happen to love the Bayliners... and dont much care what the Searay guys think. Lol Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,034 #15 Posted May 2, 2017 That boat has nice lines. Good luck with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docwheelhorse 2,559 #16 Posted May 5, 2017 Hello All, Its here! Needs paint, wax, routine maintenance and some love.. While being perfectly serviceable it is a bit rougher than I thought / hoped... but isnt that always the way. Tony 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
