  1. Who makes a reasonable cost boat cover for a 03 BW 255 Conquest? Don't need something that requires a crew to install. Its a cover that will be used only to keep the leaves and crap out of the boat in the spring and fall while it is in my yard on the trailer but I do get winds. No trailer use. No on the water use. Winter storage of the boat is in an enclosed storage building but I would use the cover only for blowing debris. I'd like to keep it under 1000.00.
  2. No, I used them on my last boat (C-120) and now use a Garmin 4208 on my Conquest. My point was that when Navionics came out with the card reader that would let you run your chip on your home computer it was a POS. I liked there charts but I'm not a fan of how they released the card reader knowing it had troubles.
  3. Save the 5000 you have for sales tax and registration.
  4. I liked Navionics w/Raymarine on my last boat and would have stayed with them except finding the right deal on a 90W screen was hard. I don't need fluff in my charts like 3'D contours and what nots. I did buy into the multi card reader they offered a few years back for 200 or so bucks and was very disappointed. They produce good charts but not so good products outside of them IMO. It left a bad taste in my mouth. There was a pretty big "bitch fest" a few years ago on another site about their products outside of their charts.
  5. About as good of a first post as it gets... and if your willing to own a Bayliner.
  6. With so many great deals out there on used boats why take a chance?
  7. Stolen is what that price says to me. You won't find any items of questionable gain on my boat.
  8. I left at the last minute and didn't bring my camera. I took a few with my cell phone but I knew that was not going to work very well. I had a long conversation with the guys from Hunt Yachts. I'm an outboard guy and they are now hanging them off an Armstrong bracket on the Surfhunter 29. They offset the weight issue by moving everything forward below the deck. The boat is designed for a 22 knot cruise and that's a little slow on flat water for me. Also my fear is the lines of the boat are going to get out of shape. Maybe I'll warm up to a I/O. At the asking prices I've got a few years to figure it out. In the Clorox Bottle department I have to admit the Pursuit 310 really caught my eye but If I move, it would only be to a 28 foot foot boat and they didn't have one there. The new BW 28 Conquest was a nice looking boat but nothing close to what Pursuit was showing off. In any event I'm in no rush and made it clear to the salespeople. We are very happy with the boat we have now.
  9. I went to the show at the last minute on the last day (Sunday). I've just been too busy on details for work. The show was good and I spent a little time with the Hunt display. I also looked at the 285 BW, 310 Pursuit, Ranger 29 Tug, Albin, GW, Nordic, Back Cove, Southport, and the Yellowfin was a very impressive 900 HP boat. The show to see was a freebie but the parking was rape.
  10. I hear a bunch of good stuff on the HVLP units but you might be a little lite on $$$.
  11. Sure. I'm no photographer but I'll take a few shots. I know you guys like CC's but I'll take an assortment. How many Bayliner pictures do you want?
  12. It's an indoor show that was moved into the Convention Center a few years ago. It's a very large space and much better than the Bayside location. The weather for the week is currently looking stormless and above freezing but that could change in a moments notice.
  13. Is anyone from RB planning on attending the NEBS? I'm hoping to attend in the middle of the week, mid day to avoid the kids and crowds. That method has worked very well for me in the past few years.
