Hello all! Im new to this site just boat my first boat 1992 bayliner 16ft 70hp mercury force engine. I am having trouble finding information on the boat. I need to know the beam width for the marina. Also will I be able to tube and wake board off this boat? I didnt see where to connect those things. Any other advice people can offer a first time boat owner.

I'm a novice too but we own an 88 Bayliner Capri 16' 85 hp Force and as long as you keep the passenger capacity down IN the boat, it has no trouble pulling a tube. We pull a Big Mable with up to 3 kids (teens so nearly grown) and the boat pulls them enough to have fun without kiting the tube.

I can't speak for wake boarding.

Congratulations on your new boat! May it bring you years of pleasure :)

Beam=widest part of boat. Grab a tape measure and a buddy, find the widest point and stretch the tape.

Check NADA website for your boat , they list the beam, weight, and length for all boats they estimate values on.

Thanks everyone for your help. I emailed bayliner and they emailed me the original owners manual!
