How is the Victoria?
Mine has been on the hard for a few years now. Some idiot didn't winterize it correctly ... :cry:
I picked up a 19 foot Bluewater Cuddy a couple of years ago. Didn't have the time to deal with the Victoria. It has been a good boat.
My current plan is to use the 350 out...
I have a 1992 19 foot Bluewater Cuddy. It has a 4.3 with an SE 116 outdrive. I am not sure of the gear ratio, assumed it is a 1.81. I will have to check the numbers when I get home. It came with a 19 pitch Solas 4 blade prop. It gets on plane quick with the 19, but easily over revs past 5,000...
I picked up a used Lowrance LCX 28c HD unit for my dad. It did not come with a GPS antenna. It was taken off of a friends 16 foot boat and did not come with the GPS puck.
I would like to get the GPS working, but not spend a fortune. Does anyone know of low cost GPS antennas that will work with...
Put my Victoria in the water yesterday. She ran well and everthing seemed to function as it should. She has a 260 mercruiser. I was able to get about 25 mph at about 4200 RPM. Does this seem about right for this boat? It was windy and pretty rough; She cut through it very well.
I am having trouble finding an anode kit for my 1981 Mercruiser 260 outdrive. I would like to order a kit online if possible. I need zinc as the boat will be used in salt. It is easy to find alpha and newer kits. I don't want to order the wrong parts.

My dad's boat was smashed by his falling carport in a windstorm this spring. His boat has been repaired to like new condition via his friendly insurance company and the local marine shop. The only part that is missing for a complete makeover is the top cowling for his 2006 9.9 Yamaha kicker. He...
I will soon be mooring my boat in salt water in Ilwaco Wa. I guess it is more brackish as it is located within the mouth of the Columbia river. The motor is a 1981 Mercruiser (pre-Alpha) 260 (350ci Chevrolet). The motor and manifolds are probably close to 20 years old. The boat spent most of...
Re: 1981 Bayliner Victoria 2750 - Restore or Bust
The boat is actually in great shape for her experience. I will be cleaning her up, changing fluids and probably applying new bottom paint.
