Because the rowing boats used are designed and built for the job, a Bayliner
patently isn`t!
Also the people in them have a clue- Darwin Awards anyone? ;-)

There's a way to do it! Convert the bayliner to a submarine.

I don't think any conversion will be needed.

Well, I was thinking he should do the conversion before he starts out... :-)

There's a reason they're called bay liners :-)

Cruel, but fair.

To the OP: You'd be far better off buying a trawler-style boat with a
large, slow-turning diesel and a high bow to deflect and power through
the inevitable seas you'll hit. The Bayliner is strictly coastal, by
which I mean "in sight of land" in anything other than ideal
conditions.

YMMV, of course.

Never in a Bayliner. Are you nuts?

I don't think you read the post closely. Bayliners line bays as
wrecks, hence the joke, which I deemed a cruel but fair comment.

I don't step aboard these kleenex boxes in Lake Ontario, and so am
unlikely to advocate them offshore.

You must have very expensive tastes in tissue. Some might find this
Meridian/Bayliner would do them proud for their needs.

Just out of curiosity, what advice would this group have given to the chap in
about 1948 who crossed the Atlantic in a modified amphibious Jeep? For further
details google "Half Safe" for the story. He made it by the way.
