up for grabs: Bayliner.


bayliner has a el cheapo boat that ive ridden in which seems to be
half way decent - it has a small mercruiser i/o and is around 10k,
boat, motor and trailer. it appears to be a very nice little entry
boat for somebody who just wants something to run around in on the
weekends.

just my opinion.

Anyone who is new to boating and is looking to boat on a lake, bay or
close to shore should definitely check out buying a used Bayliner.
There are a ton of them for sale and you can negotiate a great deal.
Their quality improved immensely during the 90's. After you have been
boating for awhile, you can decide exactly what is the ideal boat.
Since you purchased your first boat used, you will not take the big
depreciation hit. If you did a good job negotiating, you might even be
able to sell the boat for the same thing you paid for it.
