i had a bay liner boat about ten years ago,their good boats,but be careful ,make sure the engine runs really good on it,mine had a cracked head on it after that was repaired it ran good,if one of those ever gets hot enough it can do some serious damage to the engine,i tested mine out before i bought it,but it started raining and we headed in,run it for at least an hour in the water if they will permit it,see how it does,if it looses power after it warms up,don't buy it,good luck.

Bayliner built boats for the first time buyers,meaning they looked good in the show room and were priced thousands less than other makes.They were built using the very least of quality components and over all had a short life span.This boat is now 9 years old and depending on the type of engine it came with you could be looking at a lot of unwanted repairs and expense.

Buyer be ware.

Hi there..... Good luck with your boat when you get it .. LOL.. kidding. Ok soo.... As long as you get a well maintained boat you will be ok. Inboard vs Outboard. I have had both... The inboard well is easy to repair if there are minor things. But expensive if need to be lifted out of the boat... My wife and I prefer outboards.. My wife.. ( shes the expert in the family) swears by mercury ... and after having a Johnson, evinrude and two mercurys I do too.. What you can do is look on ebay .. but becareful.. there are lots of junkers on there.... My advise is pay a little to get a boat mech to check it out.. it could save you thousands.

your bayliner will probably have a FORCE engine, made by chrysler, They are noisy, and unreliable, cheaply made.as is the Bayliner boat,Ie fiberglass thickness, general materials used< they are the Ford of boats, Ya get what you pay for. Good luck
