I thought it was just for you, otherwise I would have posted I dont have any pics of my 1st 2 boats, but I do have pics of my recent ones.

My 1998 1950 Capri, she went to a happy family in canada.



My 1998 Ciera 2355, sold it to my friend who sold it in turn to my mechanic this winter.

[img]/media/kunena/attachments/vb/665932=25605-F27.jpg[/img]I started out on my Dads Lightning at about age 5 then the cat boat. I was in Jr High by then. My brother inlaw and my dad and I built the Y flyer and we raced it till I joined the navy. After that I worked my way up to the F-27 and in 2004 crossed over to the DARK SIDE and bought the Bayliner.As I think of it there are way too many others to mention but I had great adventures on all of them.These aren't the actual boats just stock pictures.

My boating timeline started in 1965 when I purchased my first boat. I have had 9 boats + 2 inflatables. I will list the Bayliners only.

1987 2450 Ciera Sunbridge. Owned from 1987 to 1990. My first cruiser and it opened me up to the cruising lifestyle.

1995 2052 Capri Cuddy. Owned in 1995 then traded for the 2655.

1996 2655 Ciera Sunbridge. Salesman tried to tell me I should get the 2855 but I did not listen. Owned one season 1996. Traded in for the 2855.

1996 2855 Ciera Sunbridge. The one I should have bought the previous year. Owned from 1997 to 1999. The best roughwater boat I have owned to date.

1999 3055 Ciera SE. Probably the best overall boat I have owned to date. Owned from 1999 to 2011. I do miss it but my financials dictated selling so I did.

Presently researching used boats hope to be able to purchase in 2 years and pay cash if at all possible. No payment therefore more $$ for fuel and other stuff.

You're right Jamie. I've had 3ft itis for a while but can't find anything better without a big jump trailer size and maint. tow vehicle ect, ect. And it still has one of the largest cockpits.
