Re: OK, LETS SEE THE BAYLINER
Wow Chris I thought I stole mine!! That is a sweet lookin boat. I have a question for everyone. Why does everyone find it necessary to beat up on the Bayliners?? I'm lovin every minute of mine.
I hear ya'....I think some of it is because of the poor quality in the 70's and 80's. Not that I have insight into exactly what it was but I think is was soft floor stuff...or?
I'm surprised it continues as much as it does tho', but apparently it has turned into a old habit, which of course die hard. I'm not sure if a lot of these voices actually have real good recent and tangible examples on which to base these comments tho'.
(QC did an excellent article on a recent water test he did of Bayliners and really thought highly of them from an overall value standpoint.)
Anyways , the general remarks remind me of people still (after 15-20 years of improving) completely dissing vehicles from the big three (Ford, GM, Chrysler) based on the stuff they did back then. There vehicles are vastly improved but some people don't want to ever forget when they 'dropped the ball'.
Maybe some of these people should look at their car keys first and if they aren't driving a japanese car.....keep it to a dull roar.
I bought a 90' Capri w/ a 90hp Force last year and so far it's been a great boat. I was out in around 30 times last year without incident. Heck...that pretty much paid for it if amortized against a boat rental.
I'm with you tho'.....and I'm looking forward to hitting the water again this summer!
