Style without function. On my 87 Bayliner Capri, you basically could never look out of that steeply slanted windshield because of all the glare.

Hmmmmm, Bayliners seem to be on top so far. I had a 21ft 1987, and a 19ft 1984, both were good looking boats, with large open bow seating. I liked them both.

Kinda partial to the Century's all of em......I'm old school...don't like all the Starwars gauges and cheep materials.

Glastrons made pretty boats too in that era. I like the Centurys & a couple of the SeaRays. Don't forget Boston Whaler - that 80's Mantauk was as "pro-boater" as you could look.

The iconic boat image of the 1980's is the Wellcraft Scarab.

Agreed! That and the Eclipse series are my iconic 1980/90's boats!
Around that time we had a wellcraft dealer on our lake, we still have alot of old ones running around although some are looking rough.

Wellcraft Scarab with that arch was always iconic, the Mariah Shabah were also a pretty gorgeous design that differed a bit from the other euro-style boats that developed in the mid-late 80's.

I like a lot of boats from this era, more than newer boats. The Four Winns Liberator is one the nice ones IMO.

Yeah, but I think you have to share space with Crockett and Tubbs in cockpit don't you?

Kiddin' ... it's a good lookin' boat.
