I've noticed some other people badmouthing Bayliners on other sites,
but keep in mind those are usually biased opinions based on peer
pressure and opinion, not fact.

Most of the people who have badmouthed the Bays, when I inquire why
they feel this way all they can reply is " I just do cause they suck"
or something similar, which is really not a reason at all. Fact is, it
all boils down to personal preference. The majority of people will
tell you what you will like based on their preferences, not yours.

Bayliners don't seem to come with 7000 RPM twin V8 engines & jet
drives, nor do they seem to attract hordes of drunken siliconed
facelifted and botoxed bimbos in thong bikinis like the Cigarettes,
Fountains, and Formulas...they do not thunder ominously through no
wake zones or make all other boat owners drool with envy...nor do they
provide a massive market for anodized chromed polished gold plated
titanium blingity-bling that will cause you to sell off a kidney to
pay off your Visa card.

In short, the Bayliner is not the model status symbol that these other
boats represent. From what i've learned, the Bayliner is more of a
workhorse, not incredibly ultra-sleek expensive, sexy, or
stately...but very tough and reliable. They are also, from what I've
seen in comparison to other boat types, pretty cheap to work on.

While a Bayliner will not increase your penis length like these other
boats try to do, it will (when properly maintained) take you anywhere
you want to go and will do so with a fair amount of reliability.
Bayliner owners - in general - also seem to be alot more social, alot
nicer, and a helluva lot more grounded. Bayliner owners seem to
generally have more interesting things to talk about rather than the
last 100 poker runs, how much was spent on those neon purple polished
aluminum valve covers to match that neon purple multi port EFI system
to match that neon purple trailer, or how much premarital sex they've
gotten because of their boat.
