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'.

Why not give it a rest, SnarlyJohn?

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.

Another perfect example of your snarliness, Johnny. Why not give it a rest?

Do you actually read posts or do you just rely on canned responses?

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.

Good luck with whatever you get, Don.

I don't see where an I/O drive on a trailerboat that spends its
"offtime" on a trailer in a driveway would be problematical. I wouldn't
keep an I/O boat out on a mooring or in a wet dock, but that isn't what
you are going to do.

I wouldn't take any advice on boats that Herring offers as valuable.

Yup...drysail is the term we use.
Out of the almost 8000 hours in a year, my boat might average 25 in the water. (if we really like this new boat, that might be a bit higher) In four years the Legend didn't spend one night in the water.

Just flush out the motor and lower unit after use, keep everything
greased and oiled, and wash the salt off the boat and trailer and axles
and you'll be fine.

Don, if you have not done so check out the Bayliner Owners Club at www.baylinerownersclub.org pose your queries there. You will get some pretty straight up answers from the members there.

He'll spend 50 hours a year doing that for 25 on the water. That's dumb
on any level.
