Most boats will
stand up to normal and *appropriate* use fairly well.
Virtually all 21 foot boats however, especially Bayliners, are
designed for use in protected water, typically with waves and chop
less than 1 foot high, winds less than 12 kts.
What a bunch of total BS.
I have owned 3 boats at 21 feet and under that stood up well when needed
to operate in moderate seas on Lake Erie, including 3-5 footers (although
not recommended). My 20 foot Glastron can take on 2-4 foot seas.
One of the most respected boat surveyors in the Lake Erie western basin
area recommends Bayliners knowing the intended use is on Lake Erie. He
knows value for the $, especially when comparing them to comparable sized
Sea Rays (also built by Brunswick).
Folks like you are the reason Bayliner continues to carry the well
deserved bad reputation on their 1980's models.
Give it up and stick to opinions on your 50 foot, 8 mph trawler.
I doubt like heck that you are running in 3-5' seas in the Great Lakes.
Not planned, but caught in. Lake Erie can turn from flat to nasty in a
heart beat.
Waynes comments were the ridiculous ones, not mine.
