Re: I want a Bayliner!!!
I expected this to come up, and I am glad that it did. I am not a Bayliner owner. I have only owned what I call "Custom Boats", very common in CA and AZ. They are built to order with custom gelcoat graphics and colors that the owner decides and even can design. Custom interiors to match. So much not a production Bayliner that my opinions are from an entirely different angle than previous Bayliner owners. I am not being paid. Yes I post a lot here, and that may or may not gain me some credibility. I guess the way I see this is would you rather get info like this only from Magazines that these builders advertise on, or only from the manufacturer? Orrrrr can you respect that US Marine has decided to engage the online forum's community to independently review their boats? I think it takes a lot of guts to do that. I could've posted anything I wanted. Yeah, I might have PO'd some people, but I could've done that. I still could. But the fact is, I see a difference in their boats, I see a difference in their approach to quality, and a desire to rebuild their brand's reputation. I think that deserves praise, so I am gonna give it. I would say and post the same things if one of my friends bought one and I had climbed all over it, this program just injected me with info before I would've learned it myself . . .
Ya know I spent a while thinking about the title of this thread. I was struggling frankly. And then it hit me while I was running the new 300 Cruiser up the river, I wanted that boat to be mine . . . That was enough for me.
