Harry,

This is fairly typical of "family" boats, even when you spend
considerable more than Bayliner. I don't think it is a matter of cost,
I think it is a matter of aesthetics. They don't want anything to
detract from the graceful lines of a bubble boat. It isn't like you
would actually want to use a 1/2" or 5/8" line on a 6,000 lb boat. Can't
you tie up the Queen Mary with a 3/8" line?

That's my story and I am sticking to it.
