Default What's the deal with Bayliner?

how did they get their dubious reputation?

By building some really crummy boats at one time.

The product has improved to the point where it is very competitive with
other mass-market boats of similar size. For certain applications,
including most light duty recreational uses, the typical Bayliner is
completely adequate. Even Bayliner wouldn't claim to the be ritziest,
glitziest, or fanciest boat around. Kind of like a Dodge or a
Chevy...... not like a Lexus or a Benz. Maybe not even like a Honda or
Toyota. But, (very important) priced accordingly.

Some people don't know anything about boats. Those who haven't updated
their facts
since the mid-80's and spew "All Bayliners are crap!" every time the
brand is mentioned may actually be running at a deficit. They may need
to un-learn something they heard from their dads 20 years or more ago
before they can get back to zero and begin again. :-)
