The 80-90s Bayliners got a bad rap for mediocre construction and styling
but they were cheap I guess. This video looks like they're striving to do
something better...finally.


The Trophys were nice designed boats. Bad construction, but very nice
lines.

Bill, hopefully they'll strive to improve things.
I know that Bayliners used to have a vary poor reputation. Maybe still do. Even if they improve considerably , it's hard to overcome a bad past.

I know several people who are happy with their Bayliners. In the end
it comes down to expectations and how you're going to use the boat.
The larger boats in particular seem to have been better built.

Doubt they can overcome the negativity. My statement is they were nice
lines, nice looking boats. Poorly constructed, but nice design.
