Any 1 have one if you do how u like it <BR> <BR>Thanks

A bayliner 175 srry}}

I have a 2000 bayliner 175. I have a tower and with some weight in the locker and in the bow its not too bad. Controling the speed sucks and it takes about three days to get out of the hole with all the weight but its what i have and im proud of it. i have the big 3.0 also.

Nice i have the 2004 with the tower witha 135hp it the boat already weighs in about 2332 pounds with people in the bow it has a pritty good wake considering its not even a wake boat

You may want to get a lower pitch prop so it will come on plane faster with the extra wake.

How is the 175 for performance can it pull a 200lb wakeboarder alright with the 135 hp merc???

I'm going tomorrow to sign for a 185 w/a 190 hp although due to financing i might have to drop to a 175 any info will help...

Tj, <BR> <BR>I have a 2000 1850 with the 190 and i have loaded it up with over 1200# of fatsack and 5 people and it did just fine, just have to prop it right, 4 blade 18 pitch is what I use! loose a lot of top end, but not important when wakeboarding! <BR> <BR>I have monster tower and perfect pass. I can sell it for less then you will pay for a basic bayliner. drop me a line if interested!

Well, i have the 3.0 and im 6'6" and 200lbs and it pulls me up, and if you tell your rider to get on the water faster and not drag it helps alot also.

i have the 175 and it a reall nice boat for the price i mean im not a pro wb or anythin close but it alabout havin fun and so far i love the boat

its goes like hell to mine goes about 48.5 mph with full tank of fuel and 3ppl in the boat

175 Happy so far. Kids love it, but if I lived where you do I would get A boat more cold weather friendly. Heater,shower,etc.

we have reall hot summers up here J\ cuz its canada doenst meen its not hot!?? and the cold doesnt hurt you any way.

TJ, <BR>Why in the hell are you going to buy a Bayliner. <BR> <BR>How much $$ do you have. <BR>There are 1 million other boats better than a bayliner. <BR>

Well when it's all you can afford you gotta do what you gotta do.At least i'll be out on the lake enjoying what I love. Thats the most important thing. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by voodoo on February 12, 2005)

Thats right man, when its all you got its all you got. Were out there having just like anyone else. Cause we cant drop 25-30k on a DD of VD doesnt mean we shouldnt be allowed to ride

Well said TJ and Jamie.

This is what it is all about no matter what you run on .... <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/212420.jpg" alt="">

This was taken on our first run on the new boat. <BR>It didn't seem to matter what we were on..We had a blast . <BR>Although if I had the means a calabria or mastercraft sure wouldn't hurt my feelings...

I have a 04 185 4.3L. And I love it. My family and friends enjoy it too. It's my first boat. I was thinking about a v-drive at the time but I didn't want to drop $30K+ for one. I figure I get use too boating first then sell this one and get a v-drive if I get any better at wakeboarding and my boat can't perform for me anymore. So far I'm loving it. <BR> <BR>The only problem I've had so far is the engine has been diesling a lot. I have taken back several times to the dealer to fix. I think they finally nailed it. It hasn't dieseled on our last three runs (knock on wood). Other than this it's been flawless!

juan, <BR> <BR>do you know what they did to get it to stop deiseling? I fought with mine all last year and the only thing that seemed to help was running premium, and that was too expensive and still is, so I usually try to let it idle for a bit before I shut it off! <BR>

Premium gas fixed that problem for me.
