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.

I agree some might find the Bayliner OK, but, a lot of others, like me,
would not.

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.

Ok, that was an old joke, and to be fair, I did see a 50' Bayliner this
summer in the Rideau Canal (that's Ontario, Canada) ... all the way from New
Zealand. I believe it was originally purchased in Hawaii. So they can get
around.

I thought he said bin-liner. Make sure it's a black one, they have more
buoyancy than the white transparent ones.
