    Another Bayliner Capri 1988

    There seems to be no end to the amount of bayliners with problems found on forums, and people both defending them and trashing them. I want to get into boating, but realistically probably 5 to 7 times a year on the Chesapeak bay, my wife and I have other hobbies like bicycles, motorcycles...
