Frankly I don't believe that, unless we are talking about some really
narrow age range like less than 2 years old.

FACT: Bayliner offers a high value for the money when compared to competing
brands.

That's a matter of perception, and understanding what you are NOT
getting.

FACT: Bayliner is backed by U.S. Marine, the largest and most profitable of
the over 4000 US boat manufacturers.

Possibly true but so what?

FACT: Bayliners are not overbuilt but are purpose built and should not be
confused with boats that offer higher quality lamination schedules, vinyls,
hardware, trim, gauges etc. at higher prices.

And that is an understatement.

FACT: Bayliners are not the best built boats but do offer many thousands of
people the ability to afford to enjoy one of our greatest past times.

Unquestionably true.
