I was in one last week....very nice...comfy...everything you could want...ride is superb in a 1-2' chop. But the "needle" kinda stops in the upper 30's.....lots and lots of value and decent speed and reliability....you just have to allow a little more time to get around is all :D

A 34' Sea Ray is a lot of boat for the $$. It is one of their best sellers and resale is unbelievable.

...wonder if Aronow ever tried one out? :p

Ironically Connie Ray started out making the first fiberglass caskets. Moved into boats from caskets. Most people do it the other way around. :eek:

no offense to bayliner owners....

Speaking of rock the boat.... we try to refrain from slamming boat brands on OSO. There is always somebody with a better boat than you. (And especially better than me.)
Besides, Bayliner is too easy. :D

Welcome to OSO.

Parmentier... is that French?

I am new to this sight........i'm looking for wellcraft info.....i live in michigan and boat on great lakes........wellcraft at least i thought was still built in sarasota.......its hard to find any info about older wellcrafts up here...even dealers........especially the one i have...everyone sais, its wellcrafts first version of a "stepped" or "pad" hull........i've recieved allot of good advice from more experienced power boaters in the past.


thanks for the welcome

I know everybody llikes to rag on the Bayliners ,and i mean everbody but i have a twin engine 28 footer with a flybridge from 86 that i bought for a boat to go diving with and the hull is adout a inch and a half thick and weighs 10,ooo pounds.Alot of the others can be real peices of chit though,I think a lot of it has to do with they are an entry level boat for 1st time boaters and just fall into disrepair from lack of maintanance.
