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.

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.

.... and make sure all the water drains out, keep the outdrive trimmed
down etc. I think it still freezes up there, in spite of all of this
global warming. ;-)

With only 25 hours of use, I would look at renting a nice boat when I
wanted on the water.

We did that last year. Rented a boat on four of our trips for the day. Cost a total of about $1500,
usually split 4-6 ways. Much, much cheaper than buying, and still got about 25 hours use out of
them. But, if I lived on a lake or bay, I'd get another. Probably a Key West. Fell in 'like' with
that boat.
