I am starting to look in earnest for a boat again. I came real close to buying a 27' Uniflite last winter. It turned out to be to much boat, too much of a project, too much to tow. Simply too much.
I am looking at Bayliners and at the moment have narrowed it down between 2452 Cierras or a Trophy, and am leaning towards the Trophys just because I like the cabin layout, even though I realize we will be giving up some ammenities (head).
I am having some diffuculty differentiating between the various Trophy models, I know I do not want a walkaround open model and I do not want the short cabin. The AK bulkhead is mandatory. Can some one clue me in to these diffrent models, as it appears they are very similar and the years overlap. At least from what I have been able to learn so far.
If I am correct the 2460's were made from the mod-80's to 1990. The 2459's seem to be of the same vinatge, and the 2359's from 91 to current.
What if any are the pro's & con's of these various years?
Powereplant, 305's & 350's seem most common, I have sen a few 5.8 fords and even a few big blocks, which seem like overkill and some with 4.3's which seem to be potentially undersized with a load.
Out drives, another huge variance here, OMC cobras seem to be on some late 80's early 90's, quite a few Alphas and even a few Bravos some Volvo units and duo props.
I know this could get really deep, but if there was one combo that would be the most sought after..........what would it be?
Thanks, John
