HEYYYYY, it's time to break out the old "Bayliner Observations." Let's see...

Now, NONE of these represent my personal or subjective opinions. These are
objective, factual, empirical observations I've made over 40-plus years of
boating experience. OK?


I, too cannot say I've ever owned a Bayliner, but also have over 40 yrs boating
experience. MY observation is that, if they are such crap, why are there SO MANY
of them still around after 20-30 years? Around here, any powerboat over 20 years
old is probably a ChrisCraft, Fibreform, Tolly, Campion, or, most probably, a
Bayliner.

Why haven't they sank, broken up, fallen apart or whatever "everyone" seems to
think they do?
