My bro and I just got a little Bayliner and put on a wakeboard tower, we are just very into watersports. We wakeboard, waterski, tube, wakeskate, etc. off of it.
And yes this thread is depressing being that it is January (and I am stuck inside because of the blizzard), the boat is shrinkwraped, my convertible is put away, and I just got my brand new Liquid Force wakeboard and bindings in

all i could afford was a 2001 bayliner capri 160. it has a 50 horse merc on it. bought it new for 8995 and that included the trailer. was a little skeptical at first but it really is a good boat. it planes off very quickly and will do almost 40 mph. it will pull a 200 lb skier and tube anyone. the whole package weighs only 1900 lbs so it is easy to tow. plenty of room for a 16 footer. take it to greenwood lake and lake hopatcong mostly but have been to lake george and scroon lake N Y.
now that im all excited about boating spring better come soon.

1963 Mahogany Lapstrake Klinkerbuilt , Cruiser Inc. built in Wisconson and represents the first American made inboard /outboard . 22' with a Volvo 4 cyl that has twin pyrimid 2 bbl carbs , 110 hp and cruises all weekend at 28 mph on 3/4 throttle for about $30.00 .
All original except the 100 watt generator has been replaced with an alternator .
I'm the second owner and the original owner still has to come out on her for a ride once in a while even though he has moved on up to the tupperware class and purchased a Campion 350 Mag 21' .

Hey Expy. I lived in Sandy Creek for years. In Pulaski before that, and Adams before that. About the only things I miss about that part of the country, are the people, and the fresh water fishing. The salt water fishing down here is a lot more intense though, and once you hook onto a big tuna or grouper, a salmon or steelhead will never give you the same thrill. I was going to go fishing today, but we're having 40 knot winds, and the temp went from 60 to 28 overnight.

Graphite rod and Penn salt water reel while long lining with about 300 ' of lead core line out to get down to the thermal cline in summer without using a down rigger . Great Lakes Fishing at it's finest .
Those big Steelheads in spring also present a good challange up around Manatoulin Island in Lake Huron .

Great thread, I'm glad it took off. I'm enjoying this considering it's damn cold here - though I have nothing to complain about, looks like a bunch of you have some frigid and harsh weather this weekend.
Come on Spring!!!
