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.

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.
