I've heard they are actually a pretty low-quality mfj. I know
theres a
dealer that sells a few of them locally , but you don't see many of
them.

But I was thinking that if they are so bad, then how do they stay in
business?

Surely , I would think, they have to make something good.....


They do make a decent entry level boat on par with most other mass
production boats in the 17 to 25 foot range.



how did they get their dubious reputation?


From the crap the made in the 1980's. Their quality has improved
substantially since then.

Don't pay attention to the Bayliner basher crowd. They will always be
around and they most likely have never been on one recently.

Yeah, what I don't understand is that fact, that because of the crap
they built in the 80's is still haunting them. Hell, Ford Pinto and
Mustang II hurt Ford for awhile, but not forever. Same with Chevy Vega
and the infamous 350 that was converted to a diesel didn't hurt GM for
long. Harley when AMF took them over?


You're correct. The best car built in America is the Ford Mustang GT!

(The best built in America or Europe for that matter!)

I gave up golf 30-odd years ago, after playing one game on the course at
the Boca Raton Club. Part of a foursome, I played with rented clubs, and
shot a 90. When we got back to the clubhouse, I talked to the pro about
playing golf and he advised me to give it up right there and then,
because, he said, it would take me 10 years to duplicate my beginner's
luck.

My only previous golf experience was on chip and putt courses.

Since then, I have played miniature golf about a dozen times.


At work the office used to have a 'golf day' once a year. It was an easy
choice for me... stay at my desk on a beautiful day, or go out to a nice
course to walk around and whack some balls.
After a few hours of chasing my balls all over the rough stuff, begging
co-workers for some and then picking up any I saw laying around, I
decided there were better things to do on a hot sunny afternoon.


Almost the same thing happened to me about 35 years ago. The Engineer
Officers at Fort Benning would have an annual get-together for golf. I
played about five times, and the most enjoyable thing to do was bang a ball
off the huge water tank in the middle of the course!

Becoming able to hit the ball, albeit only about half the time, has changed
my attitude. Also, my doctor says I need exercise. Here I live five minutes
from a nice county course where, as a senior and county resident, I can
play 18 holes for $16.53. Not a bad deal!

$16.53?? I could afford that. I should check the local clubs to see if
they have similar deals.

I buy 5 games at a time, playable any time within two years. It's a super
deal.
