    Wanted: WTB - Cruiser / Trawler

    Bayliner Buy a 4588 cheap. As close to $10K as possible. Then put $125K into it. Get the boat you want and make it your own. Bayliner makes a good hull in my opinion. That's why I bought one. Other than that it doesn't really have good bones...but it's affordable enough to buy and fix up...

    Wanted: WTB - Cruiser / Trawler

    Need a bigger budget Speaking from the informed position of owning a 1991 Bayliner, you will spend significantly more than $125K to return any 20 year old or older Bayliner 38 or 45 to Bristol condition. A good rule of thumb would be the original acquisition cost of the vessel if you want one...

    Hurricane Irma

    Actually FF it is roughing it for everybody in the Keys right now. No electric, spotty cell, no sewers or pump out facilities working, no gas, no diesel, no potable water, no mosquito control, no lodging, no restaurants, no grocery store refrigeration, trash and debris everywhere. It sucks...

    Hurricane Irma

    Unscathed I did run, from my oceanfront slip at Key Largo Harbor Marina to Indiantown Marina on the Okeechobee waterway. I called them early Labor Day and got the last slip available on the floating dock. They wanted cash up front and I was happy to oblige. I made the right move as it turns...

    Hurricane Irma

    Survived At Indiantown Marina: all boats on the hard standing and in the water floating. I was lucky this time. Not returning to Key Largo. Looking for a new place to live (aboard).

    Hi. I'm Ken in Key Largo where I live on my 91 Bayliner 3888. Bought the boat and moved aboard in 2014. Paid too much. Then kept on paying for the next 3 years as I replaced everything that wears out with age and neglect. Earl the Bayliner Guru helped me. Simple Life hailing from Key Largo...
