Thank you!
I realize that the Bayliner is considered an entry level boat and have read whatever I can google on the pros and cons of outboard vs stern drive but some of the participants in here don't realize my realities. Low dollar, short season, dry sailing, light useage etc.
It doesn't make sense for me to stretch myself out on a top rated boat. Might be better to apply my 79 cent pension dollars, saved on a modest boat purchase, towards a modest travel trailer.

If you don't want input, why continue to pose quandaries? You write paragraphs about the decision
process you're going through and then thank Luddite when he suggests no one comment on that process.
Why not just buy the boat and tell no one what you are considering or why. Then, keep it to
yourself...no pictures or description.

Just tell everyone it's got twin Volvo inboard diesels!

You just never stop being the flaming asshole, do you?

The John is an amusing fellow

He can blather on endlessly about motorbikes, baking and cooking, golf and so called camping, but I should keep quiet about what to me is a major boat purchase.
He must have been quite the leader in the 'merican army.

I asked why you make an issue of the various considerations, but don't want input on them.

No one suggested you 'keep quiet', unless you'd rather have no response. Then you should 'keep
quiet'.

Whatsa matter, Krause? Don can't answer for himself?

He's the one talking about how tough to make his choice was. I would have been glad if someone had
steered me away from a stern drive when I bought the Pro Line for use in the bay. I'll never make
that mistake again.

BTW Johnny, the tough choice wasn't between stern drive and outboards...It was between a 17.5' Boat and an 18' Boat...both with the 3.0 MerCruiser stern drive engine. These were the 2015 left overs on sale avoiding higher prices due to our low dollar.

He's not a flaming asshole. He's merely throwing a light barb at THE
flaming asshole.
