i gotta tell you chuck, that is not a bad little ride for somebody
looking just to get out on the local lake or river.
its surprizing how well its made.
I wouldn't hesitate to take one out in reasonable conditions.
Even their bottom of the line boat is now better than the general run
of production was during some of the 70's and 80's, but there are some
exceptions to the standards applied to the rest of the line that help
the boat sell for an impossibly cheap price. Plywood floorboards, for
example, and that's only a start.
The bigger and or newer the Bayliner, the better the boat. IMO. :-)
