You are one of the world's most patient men. Your wife and kids are awesome. But you my man are " Father of the year". I am 64 years old. I have been running the Bayliner 2355 for 20+ years. People at the marina talk under their breath about those cheap Bayliners. My boats on the water from April to Dec here in Hampton VA. I just went offshore fishing Sat. 118miles round trip. I changed out the small tank years ago and replaced it with a 92gallon. I love my little Bayliner. Thanks for the video
Great job docking captain! Mid cleat lines are my go to every time when docking. And nice job figuring out the fouled prop! Glad you guys continued to enjoy the day after that minor mishap! :)
I've got the same boat, and my seats used to look like that. SEM makes a paint for them that makes them look brand new. "Carver White" is the perfect match.
What a cool adventure! I have a 2655 year 1996. I was wondering how much RPM do you need to do 20 knots? I've repowered my boat recently and I need to do 3800 RPM to get 20 knots speed.
Thanks! That’s really close to what we do. We have a 22P and 3500 rpm = 20kts, 4000 = 25kts. The first 20 hours of our new engines life, it lived at 3.5, 4 and 4.5 k rpms. Thanks for watching!!
This is my first big-ish boat, so I don’t have anything to compare it to. I’m mostly concerned about the mechanical aspect of it. It has the same Mercruiser that is in the other boats. I haven’t had any electrical issues. I’ve had two, above the waterline through hulls break (plastic) and were easily replaced. I could spend $20k more for another name and still have the same power plant and other little things break here or there. But now, this boat lives on a trailer in my drive and it’s not neglected. It fits my family now, we’re thinking in the future of a 45/55’ trawler with separate rooms for the kids. I take it you’re looking for a boat then? What do you want to do? We just wanted to be able to take a couple overnights and take a toilet with us when we traveled. 🤣

Thanks! Every time we’ve taken it out we’ve been learning something new. Next time we’re out I’m going to have the big kids put out the anchor.
Another great adventure. Keep it going.

Congrats,,captain what a beautiful family,, and enjoy your beautiful boat.,I'm at present shopping for one, a bayliner as well.,thanks for sharing.
Hello guys. We are also thinking of buying a boat like yours. We watch your videos and we like them very much. GREECE
Did you end up finding a boat? I like that ours is the biggest thing we can legally trailer. No slip fees.
Nice vid!
we go fishing in our bayliner. We got a gaff just pulls right off. Might ruin your thermostat. had it happen before

Always learning.
