    TBD on what is next. Boat prices by me are crazy, even crap boats selling. Prob take some time off.  Got a gig crewing a sailboat on Wed night races here.  In an ideal world I’d upsize. TBD. 

    Got a full price offer in 24hrs, sight unseen. 
    I’ve been having a hard time not doing the same. Can get top dollar right now and as long as you’re okay with not boating for 2-3yrs you can probably make out really well on your next boat too

    No joke, it is probably worth about $1m CAD right now.

    A 2008 350 was just listed for $190k CAD = $157k USD.  I think that's about what it was new.

    I'm a bit surprised as well, but they just got some better pictures up on the site for it.  He had her detailed and now looks great.  I honestly don't want to see it go!  We have a great time boating together and I don't want to see it end.

    I'd hate to be that broker, showing the boat to a hundred tire-kickers and low-ballers for a seller who doesn't want to sell.

    If the brokerage was at all respectable, they would not have taken the listing in the first place.

    Yes, that is his boat. I hate to see it go. Nibbles have been starting.  It won't be long.

    My finger pier neighbor has his beautiful 420 Rinker up for sale now too.  I need to find some new boating friends!!

    Had my boat out for the first time and she laid an egg. I am not sure where to start. I am thinking bad gas, which I just got, or fuel filter. One other option could be the fuel pump.

    Hey Use K100 fuel stabilizer it will help burn water in the fuel.  I had my boat out not sure what changed but my boat is almost 5 mph faster than last year :smile: and more torque out of the whole shot.  She ran good,  I was worried as I had everything out of the boat and put back in..  Water was cold 15 celius or for our friend to the south 60 F.

    What engines are those and what fuel burn you see at that RPM/speed @SimcoeRinker400?

    I have the single Volvo 8.1 and it's been really nice having those fuel burn numbers to check engine health and best cruise RPM.

    I ordered a new ocean breeze 16,000 btu ac with reverse cycle heat pump. Also having them install a soft start capacitor for me.  Should be plug and play in place of my 9000btu unit that is a joke when the sun is up.  With water temps barely 80 degrees, it's 91 degrees outside but the poor thing struggles to keep my boat 84.  She's blowing cold, just not enough.

    Online reviews state these can be run on a honda eu2200, I have the generac gp3000i.  I just upgraded from generacs 2200 unit that is comparable to the eu2200.  The gp3000 is rated 3000 amps starting power and 1800 continuous and a 25 amp circuit breaker.  The compressor will be pulling around 15 amps running with the 120v pump.  My 9000 btu barely left idle once the compressor kicked on with the gp3000i.  Comparing the shops 1 yr old eu2200i to my new gp3000i, the only thing the Honda does better is she's lighter and gas a bigger fuel tank. I also like the 30 amp twist and lock connector on the genny.  I was able to run the genny on one side of the swim platfrom and talk to my parents on their boat anchored 5 ft away while the admiral slept with the AC running full blast.

    I thought about their 12000 btu model but at less than 1.5 amp draw jump to the 16000 I saw no need in risking another undersized purchase.  When its just the admiral and me on the boat we like our mid day naps, i don't want to to have issues keeping cabin temps 70 degrees.   

    I should have researched the bayliner forums before letting the sales rep talk me into a 9000,  others are running 14000 and 16000 units on the great Lakes.  It's hit 90 here every day since Sunday!

    I purchased this boat and have been giving it TLC its coming out very clean 125hrs on the engines. Original owner purchased it in 2007 from the boat show and never used it ! I’m the 2nd owner now. Few more pot lights to change adding the Seadek and more cleaning!!! Will post more pictures soon.  s .
