Boat like mine.... not at all a bad idea, although I think he wants a little better economy on fuel than mine can do. I have only been on an MJM 34 a couple of times at boat shows. They DO use less fuel than a Series I 36C. Of course, he would spend a lot more to get an MJM than he would to get one like mine, there are several repowered 36s out there for sale at very reasonable prices. Including one on this forum, unless it's sold.
 
Hi All,

I can't believe I'm going to subject myself to ridicule and scorn for suggesting this but what the heck it won't be the first time ;)

A good friend of mine just sold his 34' Mainship single diesel for a........ok wait for it.....here it comes....a 38 foot bayliner with twin Hinos.....I gotta be honest, it's a lot of boat for its size and perfect for a young family. I hear it's the best model and best quality boat they ever made.

Impressive interior layout, unique engine access.

Ok, I've got my deflector shield engaged......let er rip

P.S. They come with gas engines as well.

This Tiara might do the trick.

It almost feels like S2/Pursuit/Tiara are cousins of Hatteras. bought and sold by AMF, I think. I had a pursuit 2650 that I bought in MD and kept for 12 years. well made and thought out. Worked great for my inshore lake use. Wet offshore though.

This model has the diesels, small below but enough maybe. enough speed and sea kindly.

good luck. haven't been on a mainship or bayliner.
 
I agree with Pascal except for marina fees and when it is time to paint the bottom.

Somehow they made those cruisers with the hinos much better than any other model they made. Not a bad boat. A bit light but overall a lot of boat for the money.
 
A lot of people rave about those Bayliners with the Hino diesels. You ought to look at one. I've heard good things about them from owners and brokers alike.
 
No price in listing, though.

The Hino diesels are supposed to be very reliable. They are similar to the ones pushing all those trucks around delivering stuff all over the country.

I think one of our cruising club members had one of these boats for a while. Given that they didn't cost much to begin with, a good one might be a bargain and get you a lot of boating years for not much money. Of course, old Hatteras yachts are a bargain, too... but they don't come with Hino diesels that burn very little fuel.
 
Bayliners with Hinos.... as long as you plan to go slow.

It's really hard to beat the convenience of two-stroke outboards. No oil or coolant to check (you do preflight your vital fluids, right?), no oil and filters to change, no seacocks to forget. Just tilt down, squeeze the bulb, turn the key and go.
