"New" boat comparison - Bayliner vs Larson
Hi again Trevor,
I had a closer look at the Bayliner pix, and after bumping the Gamma, here is what I found. Corrosion damage. I could not get a good look at the drive on the Larson, but the pic of the bayliner shows what to look for in a corrosion damaged drive. Pay close attention to acne-like round spots. Those indicate serious damage. The white stuff on the transom could be a sealer to cover up a leaking, corrosion damaged gimbal assembly. If you are not familiar with Mercruiser drives, fine someone that is to go shopping with you. http://www.home.earthlink.net/~aartworks/bayliner.html Capt. Frank Trevor wrote: "Capt. Frank Hopkins" wrote in message link.net... Hey Trevor, One last thing. Safety first! If you are new to boating, or even if you are not, I heartly recommend a USCG boating safety class. Remember, as Captain, you are both legally and morally responsible for the lives of your passengers. You will find some info about children's & pet's life jackets, and some basic abandon ship info on my personal website. Please feel free to make use of the information. There are also some pictures from Chuck Gould's voyage log. http://www.home.earthlink.net/~aartworks Capt. Frank Thanks much for the insight - FYI the Bayliner does have a 6 not a 4 but your description of the two was exactly what I was looking for. I've been around boats for the better part of 15 years although never owned my own. Biggest I've driven to date though was a 19' Bowrider and was looking to move up as well as slowly moving my activities from inland PA lakes to the Upper Chesapeake. (whole other world I'm finding out, starting slow though). Thanks again. -trevor |
