Yep, and they did not influence designs until 1989 or 1990 if I recall. The
quality also went into the dumper at that same time.



I had never heard that SeaRay's quality went into the dumper. I had
always thought of SeaRay as a mid range boat and had never heard the
"Bayliner" horror stores. I mean it would be funny if someone said "OK,
this blond pulled up in a SeaRay and said she could not get the boat on
plane..... " It is funny that SeaRay's quality went into the dumper
just about the same time Bayliner's quality want from being in the
dumper to them making a decent entry level boat. I guess Brunswick
couldn't afford to make two good boats so they decided to put a major
effort to rebuild the Bayliner brand by destroying the SeaRay brand.

Yeah, that's the ticket.
