Reviewing the Bayliner Trophy T22cc with a 150 Mercury. Explore Tarpon Springs and fishing offshore

[@MegaSling]

Got the exact same rig to include the Penn Fires you're fishing with LOL. You're right, It's real big for a 22'. It's actually 22'9" and the bow is huge and is good for taking a bunch of folks out. If you're topping out at 34 mph you must not be trimming it out properly because my 150 gets me up to 42 mph with a full tank (65 gals), all safety gear, two fat men and 20 gals of water on board. I've taken it to Bimini a couple of time already in 2 to 3 foot seas and she cruised nicely at 30 mph getting 4.6 miles to the gallon. She rides real high when on plane which is a plus for me. Pretty dry ride too but we did get a little wet due to a side wind blowing spray on us. Like your video, ya got a good sense of humor. PS Brunswick makes Bayliner as well as Mercury Outboards, Boston Whaler, Sea Ray, Crestliner and many other popular brands. In addition, the Bayliner brand sells a lot of boats, more than any of Brunswicks brands.

I agree. It’s the best boat I I’ve been on all year

[@Tfam305]

Yea 34 mph is definitely off. I can get up to 31 mph in my f16 with a 75 hp

[@Bobbybuysaboat]

@@Tfam305 interesting. Your fast. Maybe I need a different propeller

[@truckingwithnose]

I got mines at the boat show in Houston last year with a 200hp on it I got it up to 52mph I’ve been up to 30 miles offshore not tryna push it to far with the 65 gallons I’m Planning on running about 60 miles out these boats are cheap and reliable I added the spot lock and simrad 9” fish finder and depth finder I can’t complain

I really wanted to like the bayliner t22cc but they are like a new KB home, Advertising a low price but that doesn’t include a motor, electrical, and interior. Once you add just the normal accessories my $58,799 bayliner was a whopping $82,946 and that’s only a 200hp engine. I ended up with a Yamaha twin engine center council. I honestly preferred the look of the bayliner center council though. Seems much deeper than my Yamaha 222 but I am very happy with it. I hope one day bayliner puts a true price package together,

Can you go to Bimini Bahamas from Miami, Fl with this boat?

[@SouthFLMudClub]

Absolutely I've done so in my 18 wellcraft with a 115...I'd suggest crossing with a friend. I crossed with a bud on wave runner. Left at 630am and arrived around 930am we averaged about 25mph and stopped a few times. Wasnt bad at all. On the way back we go into some heavier waves and it sucked we slowed to around 18mph.,, Make sure you have a large antenna for vhf and a epirb if you truly value you life.

[@chriss8206]

Did it feel underpowered with the 150 on It be honest!

[@Bobbybuysaboat]

No, not at all
