Hi guys

I'm thinking of selling my Bayliner 2052 cuddy to buy a bowrider.I've
never had or been in one.

Got "mine" last season. Main benefit ...my wife liked our friends' so
much, she chipped in 1/3 the cost towards "ours".

Other benefits ... I trailer the boat ... it's real easy to run it up
onto the trailer, go forward, climb out, winch. Extra seating. With a
passenger up front, the ride is smoother, on plane faster and runs on
plane at lower RPMs. Handy for fishing. And the passengers up front
get a laugh (read splash) if I hit a wake slow and just right. And
there is a cover for early morning, late evening when it cools off.
Easy to put down the anchor. I never did like walking out on that bow
with anchor in hand, and that space under the deck ended up just
storage for "junk"

And the size you're looking at, can incorporate a head.
