Exactly how is the quality of the interior and hardware of a Bayliner? Or
are you just bashing the brand because of it's once deserved poor
reputation
that Bayliner shed in the 1990's.



Really? Care to explain how they build their hulls and what makes them
inferior?



They still are. Brunswick also owns Sea Ray, Hatteras, Baja, Lund and
Boston Whaler, as well as several others. With your logic one would
conclude also that a Bayliner is really a Sea Ray in wolf's disguise,
just
as a Lund is really the same boat as a Boston Whaler.


A Bayliner is an adequate boat for it's intended purchase price and
usage. As for quality..........

Let's let the owners explain it:

You would have thought that Bayliner could have bought some better
ratings; especially in the value for the money category.

It looks like the folks at SeaRay made a generous donation to the JD Power
group. ;-)
