@tpcrb I was at Catalina and the guy at the mooring next to us had a new Bayliner 285m, he showed us around it and the boat seemed very well designed.
be careful if you are in the market, don't let the price sell you. bayliner is not known for their super duty trust worthy sea mechanics....they are known as "broken liners" or "gay liners" b/c after 2 yrs or 3 yrs. of ownership you are sinking lots of repair cash into them. Sea Ray, Chris Craft, Welcraft, or Grady White are MUCH better boats. A little more in price, however, cheaper in repairs in the long run and stay above water floating a lot longer than bay liner.... :)
Completely inaccurate assessment. I have owned three out of four brands you mentioned. No boats break less than others. All use the same Mercruiser running gear. Except Sea Ray & Bayliner do not use Volvo as Mechanical maintenance and repairs is always the biggest expense. Its knows no brand boundaries. legendary as too are Boston Whaler but lack comfort. But are great and reliable.
I agree. They pretty much all have to same engines and lower units....why would one brand break down more than another? I would say that certain models handle better and are designed with a better propellar/motor to boat size. But it really depends on what a person wants...watersports, fishing, cruising.
I looked at a cabin glass boat but I'm just too big to make use of the little area below. I'd have to walk on my hands and knees to avoid hitting my head. So I'm sticking with my open bow.
i want one

they should put in like two 4.3s in this boat, instead of the 350 mag

I'm new to boats, so this surprises me, as I know them as a brand with great designs.
