I just flipped the attached yacht for a fair price I thought, the new owner seems to enjoy it!:rofl:

Do any of you guys know of any companies in the NW that have done gas to diesel swaps? My buddy has a 28' Bayliner Classic that he wants to pull the 454 out of and throw in a diesel. Maybe a Volvo or something. It's a nice boat in great shape-just hard on fuel!!

Farky i'd say it's a good thing that he runs red or you wouldn't have a nice truck,( just a little red vs green gigging:joker: ) as for boats, i have a small 16' bayliner and i hate it, Brake Out Another Thousand(stole that from pawn stars) seems like i've done more work getting it back running than it was worth, but the fam likes it. also i have a friend trying to sell is 1978 Baja, 19' 454 jetdrive, 750 holley, brand new interior, new trailer tires, red and silver $4500. i'll have pics up soon, anybody interested pm me

Does it have a displacement hull?

My dad just sold his 32 ft baja with twin 454s was a fun boat to ride on. Wish I could have bought it.

I think if you live close enough to water you should own a boat.

I'm kinda surprised that there aren't more duramax powered boats in this crowd...all the tech knowledge about the motors and trucks....anybody twin one drop it in a nice baja or donzi? It's way beyond my skills but it seems like some of you guys could put a duramax together in a dark room by feel..haha

We can't let the BBC's have all the glory! Although, the sound of a big block at full war cry rippin down a lake is awesome.

Anybody know the sticker price on that banks marine duramax?

Yeah the sides from the orginal owner had the graphics taken off and regel coated. The sun deck is also solid white. I have a few reasons for selling it, atleast reason to talk myself into it for the better. Biggest is I have plans of going out on my own this year so reducing debt is what I'm after and is why I sold my lbz and got another lb7. I also have no where to put it in the summer so it sits in my driveway which sucks. Unloading it and then loading it gets old also as my wife backs the truck in and sometimes depending on how busy it is it gets a little tight at the ramps so she takes a few tries to get me in how I want. If everythig goes like i plan I will have little to no use for it this summer and the lake thats 10 minutes from me takes about 2 minutes to from one end to the other so it's not big enough to enjoy. I don't like paying for things I can't use. I have it sitting in a heated bay 4 doors down from the shop I work at and checked on it before I got home. Biggest problem I have selling it is I will probably never get another one this nice for the money I owe on it.

I've had three boats in the last 8 years. Current is just an old 79 SeaRay with a 351/Merc Alpha 1 outdrive. Haven't had this one out yet I'm still working on the engine and getting ready to drop it back in. I'll attach a few pics of it and the camper.
