I'm not a Bayliner fan and have never owned one....but I can say that
docked
behind me in my marina there is a 25 Bayliner...probably around
an 84/85
model year. The owner fishes a lot and is now on his third
engine...he plum
wore out the first two...they each had around 2000
hours on them.
I know
he's not complaining about "value".

I started with a 15' then an 18'
and then a 245 over about 25 years. I
knew
I was buying a high production,
low cost boat. The upside was that we
could
afford to be on the water at a
time when putting kids through school,
buying
houses etc. was sucking most
of the money out of the pot. I never had a
mechanical problem, they were
reliable. I never had a leak I couldn't
stop.
They all did the job they
were built to do and when it came to sell
them
they held their value well
because I cared for the boat. If you are a
minimalist boater, they are a
good buy in my estimation. I don't own
one
now, they don't build slow
roomy trawlers that use 2 gph at full
throttle
but I would guess they soon
will.
