1975 Bayliner, HIN BLB722AD0475. Identical to this, only a 20'. Bayliner emblem on both sides behind passenger seats. 4 cyl inboard. Sits on a double axle trailer. I've spent over 3 hours on the internet and haven't found it anywhere. Found the identical 1 to my boat at an auction without the final drive but no model was listed. I need to find parts for it.

To expand....

Motor/drive parts are specific to the manufacturer - either Merc or OMC/OMG.

Everything else - cleats, railings, rubrail, radio were all bought off the shelf from 3rd party suppliers and assembled by Bayliner on the factory floor into your boat. They are NOT Bayliner specific. For example...your cleats were more than likely made by Perko or Attwood. Windshield is probably by Taylor Made Products.


Pretty much....it's a Bayliner from a time when quality was suspect even on the factory floor so make it your own with your own upgrades. This isn't a classic car where you need to find the correct bolt with paint markings for a resto.

What parts?
The light pole slides into the pocket on the rear starboard. the actual light portion is broken off. There is a double spade connector on the starboard stern (electrical) on the outside beside the motor, what goes on it? The Bimini top has 2 zipper windows, and plastic tips on the bimini frame that slide into the aluminum pole frames. Cleats, hook, snaps, and all that, not a problem.

Not sure knowing the model will be of any help finding parts. Many parts in boats are generic, and not brand/model specific.

Of course being almost 50 years old, probably not much in existence that would be an exact match. You may have to improvise.

Have you looked on the Fiberglassics.com website?

generic light socket. look at attwood

you would have to post a picture of the double spade connector. no clue without a visual. my guess an outrigger / downrigger socket. look at Scotty brand

the top is most likely great lakes boat top or westland (their mexican operation)

the plastic bimini frame parts are attwood or seadog

Not a single one has to do with the manufacturer

I’d suspect it’s a late 70’s bayliner mutiny perhaps. The smaller one was a mosquito I think. Or other way about. Can’t remember

Hmmm, when I looked up Discovery, it showed a cabin cruiser. So much for relying on the internet? Close. Mines a 20', inboard. The bow rails don't come together and the stern is flush straight across, with no dip. The Bayliner emblem is correct. Mine looks exactly like the 1st picture I posted, only with an inboard and 20'

How can it look exactly like yours if your's is longer and is an Inboard. Engine Mid ship, or a Vee Drive?
