Name: Finite Defiance


I purchased this boat on 7/26/2000 and I have been enjoying it ever since! It is a 28' 1988 Bayliner Contessa (2858) with a 10' beam and a flybridge. The flybridge is pretty much a neccessity where I live due to the weather. It makes it a year round boat instead of a fair weather only boat. This thing has a huge Ford 460 (330 hp) with an OMC Cobra outdrive and it's got some nice electronics:

Apelco 5200 VHF
Uniden Pro-538 CB
Garmin GPS Map 210
Hummingbird Wide Paramount depth sounder
Simpson-Lawrence Horizon 600 windlass
Spotlight

Here are the older pictures. The quality isn't great, they were taken with a PalmPix camera attachment on a Palm IIIc and edited using ida on Debian (my OS of choice). The in the water pics are from about April 2002, the land pics (where it's at now) are from Jan 2003.
