I told my buddy not to buy a Bayliner.


The first one sank off of Owens Beach. It was an older fly-bridge model... I don't recall the model.

He bought a second one- a one year old 2052. He moored it at TYC and five years later the entire transom was rotten and was creeping into the floor. He was lucky to sell it as is.

Now I'll be the first to say that we had some great times in that boat and it was very fishing friendly as long as the wind wasn't blowing. In a breeze, it was really hard to steer or control at trolling speeds.
