  9. what we have here is a failure to communicate.......
  10. That's what I decided when shopping......I am not a novice, this is boat #9....... The cockpit is very large, has 240 gal fuel, AND the sole that covers it is one piece that is removable, guttered and sealed. 2 large in sole fishboxes, they do drain to a sump in the bilge with a pump, would prefer overboard direct, I pump it over board now. the large live well works great, has the "standing" feeder pipe that puts out 8 jets at different levels...many other features, I like it a lot......got a compliment form a GW Marlin owner on a group trip to Bimini........I paced him on the way over...he said...I didn't know Trophy made a boat that nice...gave me a thumbs up..........his 30 ftr cost about...2.5 times what my 28 ftr cost...
  11. Aboater...all that you say is true...there was however positive change in construction methods/materials to Trophy in 2000, that's what I see in my 2000, 2802WA... the only "cheap" thing I have found in 9yrs, 5 mos of ownership is the bilge pumps... 2 out of three failed within 3 yrs...not terrible either.....1 original is still going strong. the wiring runs could be better bundled, but I have seen much worse also... They did try to remove the "bayliner" stigma...they have to some degree.... remember the same parent company that built the Vega and Chevette also build Corvettes and Cadillacs............
  12. what size is it/model ?........I have a 2000, 2802....no wood in hull structure, fiberglass foam filled stringers, bulkheads, there is a painted/sealed wood platform that holds the batteries and oil tanks, it is 18" above the bilge...9 yrs no problems except bilge pumps...
  13. did it occur to anyone, the irony of the "jewfish" re to "goliath"... in order to offset any possible insult or ethnic slur....they renamed jewfish to goliath...a huge Philistine who murdered jews.........
  14. car thermometer...in COVERED garage at work.......104....radio report said feels like...110 and it did.......
  15. if you like vodka...get some "Chopin" polish vodka...great and caviar...they have 3 tin blister paks... some of the best I ever had...got it in Warsaw airport...
  16. makes sense...thanks for the reply......
  17. I have tow-boat us because of boat/us membership....used them once...fast courteous.. on a friends boat for the last air/sea show...he has seatow....took them a while to reach us with GPS coordinates...but it was crowded..we were off FTL for air/sea...he lives in sans souci ...north miami.....half way there seatow passed us off to a "dade" county boat...we had to wait 15 min for other boat to arrive....don't know if this is std procedure or not between counties...he had to sign bill for 1st boat and then another for the 2nd boat...seemed odd for same company...other than that...they did a good job..........
  18. probably larger than the poster is looking for, but I have had excellent service and many great trips on my 9 yr old Trophy 2802 WA......... couple trips to Bimini, Key Largo...it has a 9;9" beam a huge cockpit and the walkaround is 10" deep, (plus 24" welded SS rail) and 8" wide..you can actually "walk" around, up front the recessed area is large enough to fish from...
  19. it was a health related issue...there was a pool of money set aside for all that qualified for the class (separate from what the lawyers got and I don't know what they got)...took me about a yr to get all info together to qualify...then they closed the qualifying and I got the check...that was a PLEASANT surprise...
  20. lots of family boats from age 5 on...MY first boat was in 1972...a new 1971 cobia 19 CC, with a barely used '71 merc 115 in line 6...on a 1972 seminole steel trailer...boat was a no frills splatter paint, no inner liner boat...engine was bullet proof put 4000 hrs on it...have owned 8 boats since...bigger, better, faster, more equip...still caught twice as many fish on that little cobia...
  21. was a party to two of the class actions against credit cards...got $0.52 from 1 and about $1 from another...whoopeee...... I did however get $12,300......in 2008 from a class action...not bad...
  22. "Cool change"........l'il river band.......great boating song...
