yea its loaded with extras.

I finally got that camera out and shot some video footage going out on the Solent in my boat! The downside is that there is a shot of me in it. The good news is that it goes quickly away.

Yes it does

TerryRussell · « **Reply #130 on:** July 06, 2008, 20:10:22 »

Yes, it certainly is.

Dan and I enjoy bombing up and down in that boat. It is fast, easy to handle and a lot of fun. One person can easily take it out (and that happens quite often).

But, I have seen a bigger one that interests me. It is open topped, like the current boat, but is about 50% larger, with heating and a galley and heads. I may just wake up shortly and find I've bought it. I know I can take it out on my own, as I've done so with vessels up to about 36ft before.

Before I bought a boat I used to rent this kind of "Boston Whaler" I thinks its a 170 (I can't tell because I'm now a Larson owner not a Whaler)

Then I went to the:

And them my own even larger boat.

Anyone who is on the cape in Massachusetts and wants to rent these boats and more these are from the "Ship Shops" on the Bass River on the South Shore

Master Captain · « **Reply #136 on:** July 07, 2008, 20:57:13 »

well that yellow boat is gone, now i'm on to another one

We've got the best chance at getting this one i believe. Its a nice little starter boat. (ignore the kid, its the sellers son i belive)

llamalord · « **Reply #137 on:** July 07, 2008, 21:10:14 »

Is that another Bayliner 175 I can tell it's a Bayliner but I can't tell if it's some older model.

Believe me I know all about the whole: Find the perfect boat, Have it snatched out from under your nose. deal.

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #138 on:** July 08, 2008, 05:06:50 »

i dont really need a starter boat i need a boat to drop crab traps

Master Captain · « **Reply #139 on:** July 08, 2008, 21:35:11 »

Well the green one is gone, We're now the proud owners of a 2007 Bayliner 175!

llamalord · « **Reply #140 on:** July 08, 2008, 22:19:23 »

I know how that feels.

Congratultions.

Now comes the hard part...

Trailering!

Get ready for a world of hurt.

Where will you be using her?

Master Captain · « **Reply #143 on:** July 08, 2008, 23:52:40 »

we're gonna take her out for the first time this friday.

Minime · « **Reply #144 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:12:40 »

Friday, don't you know that brings bad luck, we took one of ours boats out for the first time after beeing fixed on a friday, and it sank and was completely wrecked.
The engine was new and that was what failed

Master Captain · « **Reply #145 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:44:47 »

i'm not supersticios very much, but i wouldn't take her our for the first time on Friday the 13th

She'll be fine and it'll be a great day on the water.
Specs:
Engine: MerCruiser 135hp Alpha I outdrive
Length: 17.5'

It depends how she's loaded and how you trim her etc, but I reckon that you should get about 22-25 kts out of her.

Master Captain · « **Reply #149 on:** July 09, 2008, 11:18:58 »

not sure, as our speedometer is in MPH.
