Buy the Bayliner...?

Posted by Thom V on December 12, 2001 at 20:30:59:

This is a toughie... Of course here in the state of Washington, homebase to Bayliner Corp., we have a tough time raising the WA State Flag UNLESS we own a Bayliner...(little boat joke!)

What concerns me on your statement 'Blacksheep' is: Are the internal stringers, transom and forward bulkhead wood? And, is this wood exposed to the water that has entered the hull? Years ago my dad and I used a hole saw to go through the bottom of a popular fiberglass fishing runabout. When we examined the 'core' we were stunned to see it was 'packyboard'(flakeboard)! Not even plywood. Well, we were dern careful after that to repair all bottom scrapes, dings, and scratches.

So if the internal structures are exposed wood, after repair, I would want to have some way to get these areas good and dry. Even then this wood may have been exposed to spores that may cause dry rot...

Not sure how helpful all this is. Guess the price of this boat reflects it's condition. If you can deal with the condition then the price is right!
