Really? Care to explain how they build their hulls and what makes them
inferior?


A Bayliner is an adequate boat for it's intended purchase price and
usage. As for quality..........

Let's let the owners explain it:

JD Power? LOL!

As I said from the start the newer Bayliners are indeed decent boats. I
never suggested they are anything close to off shore/open ocean water boats
though.

I am still waiting for Patrick to explain how the hulls on Bayliners and
Maxums are inferior and how Chris Craft is far superior to either of those
brands. ;-)
