Which Used Ski Boat?
alright enough already, comparing a maxum to a whaler is not a valid
comparison, but maxum is not a low-end re-badged bayliner... sorry for my bigotry against bayliners.. Back to the point - are Tige's any good? There is a Pre bowrider with Taps wake system available in my price range locally. It looks good - is Tige considered peers with correct craft and master craft? "Gould 0738" wrote in message ... I did some consulting for US Marine near Seattle. The same people who design Bayliner also design Maxum. The same factories and workers are used, and I believe the same molds, etc are used. The same molds are not used. For example; compare the 18-foot Maxum with the 18-foot Bayliner Maxum: LOA is 17'6" beam is 7' hull draft is 18" deadrise is 19 degrees weight is 2000 pounds. The Maxum is built with an interior fiberglass liner, consistent with the "three piece" construction technique used by many builders. (hull, interior liner, deck). Comparable 18-foot Bayliner: LOA is 18' 0" Beam is 7'6" Deadrise is 17 degrees Weight is 1878 pounds Hull draft is 14" Clearly *not* the same mold. Rather than an interior fiberglass liner, the Bayliner uses "XL composite panels" with a "lifetime limited guarantee against rot in hull, deck, and upholstery components." Some of the weight difference may be due to the difference in standard engines. The Bayliner has a 90HP outboard as the standard engine, while the Maxum is standard with a 3- liter stern drive. Once again, not the same mold at all. |
