I can literally see it up on Ebay right now...<br /><br />For sale:<br /><br />"Bayliner with engine, runs but needs a good cleaning."<br /><br />"Auction for a late 80s Bayliner with engine. Mint condition, just needs cleaning. Sorry, no pics because I "broke" my digital camera."<br /><br />I can literally see the happy winning bidder's face when he goes to pick it up.

Congrats, Fox..You're dead-on.Yes, it's a Bayliner cruiser..I took the pic at my favorite in-town boatyard, Mainsail Marina. They just got this boat in, and she is a real sight!

Re: This pic needs a caption....

did you get any photos of the rest of the boat???<br /><br />I'm curious as to how bad the rest is...<br /><br />I'm amazed that people could let that happen.. even to a bayliner, which is still marginally better then no boat at all. :)<br /><br />rgds<br /><br />Frank

Can you imagine, when the folks at the stern drive rebuild shop get this "core" in exchange?

Re: This pic needs a caption....

Now, I always enjoy a good laugh.....and I think 12 Footer should mail that picture to Inter-Lux and ask if bottom paiiint always reacts that way.<br /><br />I laugh thinking that we have ALL given suggestions to the boat owner when his questions about "tilt not working" "Won't plane" "Boat pulls to right" "Prop help needed" "not hitting full throttle" "How do you check lower unit oil" or the typical "need help!" Now consider OUR answers..."get a Dolfin" "check the fluids" "Well what RPMs are you turning" "Adjust the trim tabs".<br /><br />12 Footer please tell us that the boat belongs to a "snow bird" who left it docked for an entire year! Did the owner pass away? I think his outdrive did!<br /><br />Great Pictures!<br /><br />Bob

Red Green (from the Red Green show) would probably say:<br />"well, this is a great job for handyman's secret weapon - duct tape" :D <br /><br />12footer, is the boat actually for sale??? Or does it have a sign "take it home and it's yours"? ;) <br /><br />Lou

Well, from the look of the stern drive, and the fact that its a bayliner, I'm guess that its lived up to its name for about a year. :)<br /><br />That is to say it sank and lined the bay for a year or so.. :) <br /><br />rgds<br /><br />Frank

Re: This pic needs a caption....

I think you are right,that this boat was owned by a seasonal resident, and was pulled for non-payment of slip fees. The rest of the vessel is in comparitively good condition, but these snail-guys are covering everything below the waterline.It actually had a little mangrove sprig growing-out of the gimbal,but someone pulled it out. The boat is not runnning....Hmmm...I wonder why not.

A couple of squirts of WD-40 and a little duct tape and She'll be good as new!

Re: This pic needs a caption....

Can't be,<br /><br />That would insinuate that it was also a Bayliner (see above) and if Noah's Ark was a Bayliner, then none of use would be here.<br /><br />Titanic maybe?<br /><br />rgds<br /><br />Frank

First off... my Bayliner works just fine, no problems. It was the Mercury Engine that was crap. #1: "Our new proctective coating, 'Barnacles'©, will protect your sterndrive and hull for the life of the boat"

Pic #1:<br />Yep.. an if you step over here this beauty even comes with "Barn-ic-Grip" from bow to stern for that added traction <br /><br />Guarantees an unbelievable change in your hole shot and cornering capabilities.
