Whatever "boe" means, my boat doesn't do it. The hull is solid. Besides, why would I compare a cruising boat to one designed to fish offshore in evil conditions? That's a ridiculous challenge Ryan.<br /><br />You're the guy who made the mean-spirited comment about Special Olympic participants, aren't you? Nice.<br /><br />I'm glad my friend Kevin Sanders never saw your post with the airborne Whaler and your comment about 'not trying this in a bilgeliner'...because then he wouldn't have taken his Bayliner from Seattle to Whittier, Alaska in 9 days. The 20 foot seas that ripped his tender right off the swimstep would have scared him a lot more if he'd seen that post of yours.<br /><br />Or my friend Gene Hoffmann who took his Bayliner from Seattle to San Francisco last year. Guess both those guys were pretty stupid to try that in such low quality boats huh?<br /><br />Come on Ryan, give me something so I can show everyone you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Cleats maybe? Quality of fabrics? Fit and finish of doors, etc? Stringer encapsulation? Wiring? Where is the low quality in my boat?
Oh......Oh Ya,...... I Forgot,............<br />The Layup Schedule Doesn't have Anything to do with Entry Level boat building......<br /><br />It's an Entry Level boat for a Reason..... Bilgeliner Isn't Giving Anything Away.........<br />Corners Are Cut,... Somewhere........<br /><br /><br />Totally Aside from the Bilgeliner Vs. Bayliner thing,..........<br />Historically Speaking,............<br /><br />(EDIT)
So you're saying that an incident that occurred in the mid to late 80's is indicative of the quality of the boats built today? You won't buy a Ford because they built Pinto's in the late 70's or Chevy's cause they built Vega's in the late 70's, et al? C'mon...let's get up to today friend. That's like comparing a P4 fully equipped computer today to an IBM PCjr. Give the 80's a rest. Everyone built some crap in the 80's. Three people were killed here on a 2003 Grady White in the Moriches inlet in 2003 when it went turtle. Does that make Grady White a piece of garbage and built poorly? <br /><br />Let me ask a question concering a hull breaking apart and people having to be rescued by the USCG. Did your friend sue Bayliner? If there were inherent defects in the process or materials used to build the boat they would be liable. Do you think they would be in business today if that were a common occurrance with the litigious society we have?Originally posted by snapperbait:<br /> Stratocaster.. Mole.. It happend in the mid to late 80's... 86 maybe..<br />Just outside Lake worth inlet...<br /><br />Next time I see Ed, I'll ask if he has any pictures.. I'm sure he does.. If I can get them, I'll post em..
I guess you are not tired of them cause you started another one. We all got a boat weather it was for style, looks, value, price and we can go on and on with this. I have looked at many boats when I was going to purchase mine, and I got my Bayliner cause it was taken care of and the price was in my budget. I am not a rich man and I put my money into my log home. So Bayliner was a good deal for me. I will tell you that when I hit the gas and she is up on plane and I am heading for the old fishing hole I feel like a King. She does just what I want and has not given me a problem. The problem all starts with the owners. When you see a boat out in the open to snow and all the elements then this boat will be a problem down the road. If one is cared for then it will be good to you. Our choice, I could have gotten a bigger one and a differant brand but this one was my choice and I got more then my moneys worth. Let drop this childish stuff and help others who can use the knowledge that you all have to help others instead. I am done with this and will not respond to anymore of this childish crap. Boat on
You mean that one Mike? Yes, I laughed at that one too. What the heck is a "batwhiner"??
