New Sailboat

[pmansyourdaddy]

I just bought a 1977 Bayliner Buccaneer. Needs to be refurbished. Never sailed or restored a boat. Any help with parts would be great.

It would help if you said which of the bayliner buccaneers, as they made several models IIRC. Also, I would highly recommend you read the POST in my signature.

I can't post a link. Search out Bayliner Buccaneer and you should find an MSN group. I have a B270 and they have given me great direction and advice.

We took possession of our 1999 Formula 330 SS this weekend, and had a great time out on the Potomac. There is quite a difference between 30 knots in a power boat and 5 knots in a sailboat, and the power boat will go a lot faster than 30 knots.

Don't get me wrong - I get it about sailing, and I've enjoyed the three years of sailing on my Santana 35, which is now for sale. But I just decided, and the rest of the family agrees, that it would be fun to go faster for a while.

See if it were me I'd keep the sailboat and buy a couple wave runners But to each his own

As for the original poster, I second the suggestion to follow the link in SD's signature. Also, if you need to post a link or pic you will need to have 10 posts. Take a trip over to the Song Chain thread in the Off Topic area and post a bunch to get your count up.

Once you're over 10 post a few pice of what you have so we can get an idea of what you have ahead of you.
