I've got over 200 hrs on my 2004 Bayliner 175 (135hp), and have also gone for many rides with friends/co-workers who have boats of same size/power, and none of them come close to the performance or ride of my Bayliner. 4x adults in the boat and it will still pull me up deep-water slalom ski start, and if I've got a bigger load, I throw on a 4-blade ski prop and still no problem. Best of all, with my ski prop and 5 adults in the boat, she's still 40mph+ and can go all weekend on a tank of gas. Can't be beat!
Upgrades/Accessories: I've got the XT package (upgraded graphics and wakeboard tower... excellent upgrade!)
