Gee liability is a major concern for all manufacturers. Remember when Ford Explorers had those series of fatal rollovers during a crash? Ford was sued a whole lot. On a related note, remember when the Pinto's would pop into reverse on their own, back into something and explode? The transmission was the catalyst, and it was a liability.

It would be legal jeopardy for Brunswick's atty to tell the court that the Bayliners were made cheaper or less well than another boat.

Owned a few Explorers over the years and a couple were involved in accidents ( not my fault) and never rolled one over...also owned four Pintos in my younger years, was rear ended twice with no fire. Never saw one go into reverse by itself. No doubt your stories are real, but are these more examples of trying to fix "stupidity" ??

We ended up going with the Rinker 192

Looked at a Stingray in between.

The Rinker ended up being local, original owner, friend of a friend. Interior is actually in decent shape, no rips in the seats, I couldn’t find a soft spot in the floor. Needs to be cleaned up from winter storage, only thing that doesn’t work is the radio which isn’t a huge deal. Everything was serviced before winter storage but I still plan on doing a complete service as a peace of mind.

Pics or it didn't happen....
