my very first boat was a new 1985 bayliner 2550. i lived on St Barths
back then, bought the boat here in
Miami and shipped it over. Kept it there for 10 years before shipping it
back to miami when i moved here.
those of you who've been to the islands, know that with the trade winds,
it's usually 4 to 5 footers as soon as you poke your nose out of the leeward
sides... i used to take that boat fishing, 10 or 15 miles offshore, never
had an issue. kept in saltwater year round... no blister, no cracking,
nothing... After 12 years, I finally had to replace the trusty volvo raw
water cooled V8... problems were minimal// leaky windows, but that's not a
bayliner exclusive now is it? and yes, they sold the boat with Zamac rail
fittings which turned into dust after 2 years.. but replacing that with SS
was a few hundred bucks...
like every other manufacturer, bayliner had some bad boat and some bad
years. but overall they make some decent boats, certainly no worst than
others...
and jerks come at the wheel of just about anything that floats, from
Bayliner to Sea Ray, trwalers to sportfish, sail or power even!
