2007 Bayliner 175 deal, too good to be true?
Local dealer has these in new for $14,000CDN with trailer.
What's the catch? |

Not a lot of markup for the dealer, but the low price is intended to bring in folks with a newfound interest in boating. Subject to the same limitations as most any other boat with the same freeboard, draft, displacement, and HP you should enjoy enough decent service from one of these to decide if you like boating enough to step up to a more deluxe Bayliner or some other brand. If it turns out to be less fun that you thought it might you're only out a chunk of your original $14k- and that's a pretty cheap price, relatively speaking, to experiment with boating. If you're mechanical, etc, you might find a decent buy on a used 175. There are some out there that were owned by folks who fell out of love with boating shortly after plunging for this entry level boat. However,if you have to pay to have mechanical things repaired or seviced, it would be hard to save enough on an example in decent shape to justify foregoing the warranty. You will probably want more HP and a little larger, heavier boat after owning a 175...(seems to be the thrend)..so maybe it makes as much sense to shake the piggy bank and extra time or two and increase the budget initially or find a very nice late model used boat? There's no one "right" answer to fit every situation. |

"Corsair23" wrote in message oups.com... Why not? Dont like the designs...too many of them around....NO resale value.....do I HAVE to go on? Yes......as you rely on 20 year old information. Your resale value statement is pure bull when comparing initial purchase price to eventual selling price. You statement about seeing too many Bayliners around is also questionable as (if I understand it correctly) we boat in the same general area. I see far more SeaRays on the water than BLiners and see far more SeaRays for sale locally than BLiners. Designs are generally the same. Hardware is generally the same. Electrical quality is generally the same. Hull construction and quality is generally the same. Since the Brunswick purchase the quality of Bayliners has improved substantially. One can also make a case that since that purchase the quality of SeaRays has declined, unless you put value in gold trim and gold necklace holders. ;-) |
