2000 Bayliner Trophy

[KJM]

I just saw an add for this type boat locally. I was wondering about their quality and specifically about what core material was used in transom, stringers and floor. From what little research I have done seems to say Greenwood plywood. Is this good? I've already restored 2 rotten transoms and thats enough for me to know I don't want to do a third!

Bayliner is 50/50 on build quality. Some good some bad, a lot depends on how well they are cared for but some were just doomed from the onset

I will say the trophy line offers very limited access for engine and accessory repair/maintenance. The focus was on big water fishing so deck space is a premium, access was an afterthought

Imo they are comparable to a seaswirl for quality/style which is mid to low range

This one is an outboard boat so motor access isn't a problem. Mostly concerned with what I would find below the deck, as in stringers and the transom. Any idea if they rot out easily?

Again, depends on the care/maintenance over twenty plus years

You'll have to look at the areas mentioned yourself, internet has its limitations
